KEEP OUT!

Keep Out!
I mentioned the Eastern Shore of Virginia (ESVA) in my last blog. I apologize to the citizens of ESVA who want to keep their heaven-on-earth a secret. Rumors that gas never goes above $2 a gallon on the ESVA are not true. It is true that isolated spots on the ESVA are still in 1960 or 1860. The Confederate flag ripples in the breeze, eight-year-old boys shoot deer instead of classmates and ninety-year-old men gather oysters in the marsh.
Depressing examples of rural poverty line the main roads to discourage intruders. Occasionally an amateur politician suggests seceding from the union. You won’t like living on the ESVA. As we say on the Eastern Shore, visit, leave your money and go home!
