I had dressed myself that day so I was sporting some killer cabbage patch house shoes.

Admittedly, I went through there at nearly 70mph for the most part. Nonetheless, I did stay over a night in West Virginia and rode on Don Knotts Blvd. I also passed roadways named after Hal Greer and Jerry West. From an outsider, it looks like a beautiful state. But more importantly, the people have tremendous pride in West Virginians who have "made good." <br />My condolences on the loss of Sen.
