I grew up in the 80s, the era of the VCR and video rentals. I had a sister 9 years older than me, and all of my friends had older siblings. I saw so much shit I wasn't supposed to see as a young child -- Nightmare on Elm Street, Silent Night, Deadly Night, Faces of Death, etc. -- and those fucking monkeys in the Wizard of Oz scared me more than anything else I saw on film during that time of my life.

That school’s about 15 miles from me. It’s one of the smaller public schools in the state, but not the smallest in the county in which it resides (Randolph). That goes to Pickens, which typically has an enrollment of around 40-50 students, K-12 and often has a graduating class of 1 or 2.

I’m pretty sure the fb and baseball fields are combined in some way at TVHS, but I can’t say for certain.

I live in a small WV mountain town and really enjoy my life. It’s in the middle of a national forest, there’s a liberal arts college, and people are nice enough. There’s a pretty vibrant arts scene, I get to walk to work, and cost of living is almost too good to be true.

It’s certainly not for everyone, but I dig it.
