It is sad and it is truth. It is shameful and it is exhaustingly dehumanization and glows of ignorance. I am sorry this happened. I am truly sorry...I am glad you made it out of there in one piece.

IF (and when) you ever understand the world we live in, share, k?



We will be rolling thru East TN on our way to Nashvegas later this week. Its really no wonder you live in fear. Everytime we pass thru (about once per quarter at the very least), it seems as if there are MORE giant crosses AND confederate flags atop hills. I try not to stop in and around Bristol - it really does creep me out.

If you two ever come through K-town and wanna sit a spell give me a yell....
