Bob, Dane's a writer. If Walker Percy knew what he was talking about, I'd wager Dane's a Bourbon man. ;D

Kowechobe, I do drink beer and ale...prefer local microbrews and imports, however; Germany spoiled me on American beer.
LOL JD. I guess your mind has to be kind of twisty and strange to want to even write for a living, to be willing to put a lot out there that reveals who you are, and sometimes even some inner demons.
Bourbon is okay, however, I prefere vodka above all other hard stuff. Then, in this order, tequila (yes, straight), single malts, Irish whisky, bourbon (only if mixed), and vodka. The ultimate cocktails are cosmopolitans, vodka martinis, and margaritas on the rocks (quanto only, no triple seq!).
Seriously, I find old industrial sites...rusted gantrys, defunct oil tanks, overgrown factories, etc. very evocative and sometimes beautiful. the ghosts of those who have passed through and used the sites (and sometimes died there) is probably what most interests me in this kind of thing.
Now I'm thirsty. :)

Dane,Come on down to Florida and hunt some pigs.I live in the heart of Phosphate mining country.It's slowly disappearing and there are numerous plants and small towns that are ghost places now.I've been working in the exploration and engineering part of it for 35 years.I know where all the old swimming holes,beer drinking trees and cemeteries,black and white ,back to the 1840's.Lot's of history and hogs.

I can show you whats left of Mountville Ga. It was one of the first "western" towns in the state. Dates back to the days of Tomochichi, the great Creek chief. Found it by accident one day. And down the road a -piece, other side of the county, is the last remnant of a creek village...
Dane:
Mullet, it is an honor to be asked down to hunt some pork. Maybe one day, I can...never been to Florida, outside of some airports, and the old industiral site and such you mentioned sound just like what I enjoy.
JPitts, Mountville sounds very spooky and cool. There are a few ghost towns even in New England...one is supposed to be cursed, and another in Connecticut is called the Village of Voices...Bera Hack (spelling?)...all that is left are cellar holes, and they say you can hear the voices of the fomer residents if you visit the site, the sounds of wagons, even dogs barking and kids playing. One day, I will go hear for myself.
