I gave some sober alcoholics a ride home tonight, three alcoholics. 4 if you count me, which I do. 4 alcoholics all heading home after a small meeting that took place in a small room. One headed to meet curfew at the halfway house, another cross town to crash on a couch and a third armed with nothing but the clothes on his back, an old army blanket, a Big Book and 2 days of sobriety. I was there, I was doing him a favor by not letting him have a warm dry place to sleep. It can only get better for him and it will if he chooses so.

I might have been stricken with wet noodles back in the day for posting pictures of awesomness of the Asheville scene, these days it tends not to matter. The secret has been let out and what once was a sleepy lil mtn town has now been taken over by tourists, hippies, punks, bikers and even yuppies. Come visit the Paris of the South and see what y'all have been missing. I promise despite the new age propaganda that abounds we still serve sweet tea and briscuit in near every eating establishment.
