Where will it go when gone? Almost lived in Richmond, VA. DH once had a corporate IT job offer on the table with Overnight Trucking that was weirdly withdrawn. Might have been a blessing in disguise in the long run but, at the time so long ago...well, I was not yet awakened from the mythology of learned US history and my FOO's covert cover of faults and still "somewhat" (I'm guessing that's like being a little bit pregnant, now?&quot complicit in my "privileged" status. A few years later, I ended up living and loving for 20 years, the "wrong" side of polarized Dayton, OH, where I got a real education that I felt in my heart. LOL!
