This Modern World…
So I’m strolling the main street of little middle of nowhere Hillsville Virginia late last night and I come across a small group of teens sitting in front of one of the main street shops with their friggin’ laptops out busy with something. So I walk over to them and ask if there is a hotspot nearby. Yes, says they. The city of Hillsville put one up in the office building next to the courthouse. Anyone can access it from anywhere along mainstreet.
Wow. Well that’s better then Baltimore can say. But this is good. Now kids who are growing up in the middle of nowhere, can get to everywhere whenever they want.
Oh…and the price of gasoline down here is two dollars and nineteen cents a gallon.
