Living out loud in the Carolinas

The Land of Red Dirt & Dead Cars

That’s what James Taylor said about the Carolinas at one of his shows a few years ago. He’s allowed though, he’s from here. It is true though, you always see tons of dead cars along the highway, just down the road a bit from that one shoe. Never a pair of shoes, just the one. Anyway, the above picture was taken from my car the other day while my Mom, Morgan, and I explored this new development that is being built in my neighborhood. As you can see they haven’t even paved the roads yet, and it had just rained so it was quite an adventure. There was much girlie squealing as we slid all around. I prayed we wouldn’t get stuck because we were all in flip flops and are much too prissy to be digging my car out of the muck! Luckily my little Rav4 did quite nicely and got us home.

    I can totally appreciate this. I’m sure we are related somehow. My uncle is a mechanic in Lancaster, SC, but what he really does is race stock cars on the red dirt. I love it… you wear a white t-shirt and its peach colored by the time you leave. I know the coal miners got black lung, but is it possible to have red lung? Discuss amoungst yourselves.
