virginia: It was only a few years ago that I thought West Virginia was just the west part of Virginia lol. But how come ya never hear much out of there? It's a very quiet state. I don't think I have ever heard much of West Virginia on the news or anything, except for that mining thing that happened a few months ago. That's really it though. We have to drive through in a couple weeks on our way down to North Carolina for a family wedding, so I'm just wondering what it's gonna be like.|||Seriously??
