"Glimpses of diminutive towns and villages are circumpolar on either lateral gift you the see of stepping into added world, ease still adjoining with your cityfied existence."

I'm still trying to figure out what a sexy naif forest would be.  Any ideas?
God of making the characteristic which becomes dirty sends the hurricane.

I've been meaning to ask you where in Alabama are you from? I was born in Sylacauga (home of the infamous Sylacuaga Meteorite!!) and grew up in Guntersville.

I'm in Tuscaloosa, about 10 minutes from the University of Alabama campus, right along one of the main routes to Bryant-Denny Stadium. On game days we either stay at home or wait until after kickoff before trying to make even a short trip then make sure to be home before the game ends.

Cool! My sister went to Alabama during the 80's and I visited many times. Great town.

I can certainly empathize with your situation. For years I lived near the stadium in Nashville where the Titans play.  You had to plan your escape early on game days or resign yourself to staying in your neighborhood.

Of course, this year I imagine traffic for Titans games may not be a problem. :teddyr:

QuoteWhat meliorate artefact to rediscover the example and story of the dweller heartland than to go on a voyage downbound the river River?

Yes, what meliorate artefact indeed.
