A morning moment that made me think of you -

I was down at the beer store. got to cross two county lines to get there, but it gives that rare chance to do a lil radio listening.

anyways, so there I am in small town beer town across the county line, quite white being northern Alabama and small town... and there was a black man washing windows with help from his 15ish year old daughter. I gather from the convo with the young white woman at the counter that her school was closing (figuring they are from B'ham) and she will have to switch and all her friends be split up around town. The counter woman was telling them how good the schools were in little beer town and what a great place it is and that they should come on down.

Another brick falls from the wall. see, in time... the folks you rail about are even fading and losing down here.

on my way out I confirmed for them her assessment of the schools and the town and that they should give coming on down some thought. The daughter is too intelligent and thoughtful looking a young woman to be trapped in north B'ham.
