Hatblog: Remote From the Mountain State

Who knew you could get the Internets in West Virginia? Well, OK, I did, since I saw my hotel had free wifi (like I said at Christmas, this should be an expectation and not a perk at this point.) Anyway, why the hell am I in Beckley, WV tonight? Pete talked me into meeting him and his lovely bride Bess to go whitewater rafting tomorrow. I've never done that and it should be fun, as long as I manage not to break my $5,000 pancreas. I will gladly sacrifice bones, short of my skull, to not break that. I do have a hardened, plastic, waterproof enclosure for it. Or perhaps I'll take it off and take shots at lunch and after the trip. I'm not sure yet.

I had my first Google Maps failure, as it decided to confuse the "Hylton lane" this hotel is on (which is course the access road in the middle of hotels, Applebee's, etc.) and a Hilton lane which acquainted me with some of those 16.4% of families below the poverty line the Wikipedia article mentions. But hey, it's not a real vacation until you get lost, right?
