Peggy Noonan today in Opinion Journal on West Virginia. Apologies to those who don't share her political views- concentrate on the prose. Great paean to a great state, I think we'd all agree!

Nice find Roger. I esp like the part...."You know when you've passed into it from the east because suddenly things look more dramatic." Returning to WV from flat land, whether N S E or W has always given me butterflies, " oh those West Virginia hills, how majestic and so grand.....". I get nervous when the horizon is more than 20 miles away, Mountaineers are always Free!!!!! I'm Proud to Be!
