the country side of life


charlottesville is an excellent mix of the trendy artsy and the down-home country. an example of the latter- the bus driver that takes us out on our 'community outings' at work is a really nice country guy, with a rat tail. today he was telling us about some really good eatin- squirrel brain. he then proceeded to tell us how to cook it right and about how he gets it when he goes squirrel hunting. i didn't know folks went squirrel hunting, but all i could picture was when my brothers used to shoot squirrels off our back porch (before i hid the bb gun). i'd never heard of this supposed delicacy, but apparently it's not a good idea. although the conversation was kinda grosse, it was definitely entertaining! gotta love that down home country livin.
