220 South: Back on the Road

My friends,

Several months ago I shut down this blog due to work-related requirements to be unbiased. I felt I needed to keep myself from taking public stances regarding political affairs and the like. Also, I mysteriously vanished in order to find myself. I could make an Appalachian Trail joke, but I believe I'll refrain....for now.

But now I feel I can no longer keep silent. Watching recent events, I became aware of a very serious threat not just to my community of Martinsville, but to the state as a whole. We are on the verge of a potentially catastrophic turn of events, and all good citizens must heed the call of duty. For the threat we face is one as old as man, and now is the time to act. We must meet this threat to our prosperity head-on.



The threat to which I'm referring is, of course...





BEARS!!!!


But seriously, I've decided to re-start the blog and I hope to pick up pretty much where I left off. There's still a chance I'll have to shut down again at some point down the road, but for the time being I'm looking forward to getting back on the scene and hopefully helping Creigh win the Governor's Mansion.

On a side note, this picture was taken along Route 57 near Bassett High School in Henry County last week. Also, you may have noticed a creative alteration of the photo that attributes larcenous motives to the bears in question. For funzies. It is a tad disquieting though, given that Yogi and the boys are apparently just chillin' out in that area--particularly since outdoor recreation areas are pretty close by.

Anyway, thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy 220 South, version 2.0.
