We love those kinds of sunrises or sunsets for that matter.<br /><br />The cheaper gas certainly helps to make up for the difference in the exchange rate on other items down here.

Have you every witnessed this?? We made the solemn vow to never use those fresh water drinking hoses again. But then, our trailer is so much smaller than most peoples that we are able to use our 5 gallon drinking water jug and fill by hand from somewhere else. Just wonderin'??

Within the peaceful and beautiful rural countryside of Kentucky lurks a large opioids epidemic, so large that the prior Obama administration started throwing a lot of money into Kentucky with the hope of eradication with easy medical assistance and clinics. Plainly stated, the stuff is just hard to get off of. I think you know where I'm going here, watch your valuables. Kentucky is not the only state with such a large epidemic up there.
