Today was simply a drive through Virginia to Charleston, WV.
I drove through Shenandoah National Park, a long thin park atop the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was quite a hazy day and so the views, and even more so the photos, were imperfect. The park was just a detour actually, I saw it on the map and decided to take the Skyline Drive over the ridge of the range. It was 100+ miles long and took only 2.5 hours, since I didn`t stop at every single viewpoint. I may have done were there more time and less mist.
I didn`t actually make it to Charleston in the end as I was too tired and it was too dark. It was a good job, therefore, that I was unable to arrange surfing there. I pulled off into Beckley and got a motel room. Ah! My own bed, a cool dark room! It was very very welcome to have a good night`s sleep.
A rant about censorship on the radio. Must Dire Straits` Money For Nothing be censored so severly? Must it have its entire third verse chopped out just because the lyrics mention a "little faggot with the earring and the make-up?" Surely they could make clean such a terrible word like they do with Pink Floyd`s Money by either muting that word, replacing that one-beat section with the reverse of itself, or (yuk, I hate this technique) cutting that beat out entirely, resulting in an unflowing 3-beat bar? By censoring it, it draws more attention to it than by hearing it.
