Having recently become an authority on America (two weeks experience) I have come to two conclusions.
. (1) The electricians are useless, all the light switches have been installed upside down.
(2) There are too many trees. Driving over every ridge in the Appalachians/ Blue Ridge Mountains parts of Virginia/West Virginia you come to the top, and think "Boy, there's a goodview coming up". And is there hell. All you can see is trees. Couldnt you fell a handfull of trees ( a dozen would do it) on thedown-hill side of every layby(parking place?? not sure of the correct term) so as you could stop and feelyour heart sing at the rolling ridges of distant hills and valleys below your feet. You may feel I am advocating some dreadful anti-ecology sentiment here, but believe me I think it could generate a powrful extra love for the fantastic beauty you have.
