You're truck isn't nearly big enough, and you need a banjo, 50 guns (mostly shotguns & rifles) and spit jug. Other than that, everything else you need will fit in your mobile home.

Forgot about that place. It's been so long I can't remember the name either, but the food is AWESOME. Hmm, that might make for decent little ride on the scooter next weekend.

I'm close to there. It's a pretty busy place, like the area has grown faster than the roads can handle. If you come from the city, you won't have any problems adjusting. It's a nice, old Southern town, w/ lots of history. My girlfriend works at the medical center there. In fact, alot of people from my town (in WV) work there because Winchester has so many employment opportunities. I wouldn't want to live there, but i'm used to the country. It is a nice place to visit. Lots of places to eat/drink, and generally lots of stuff to do.

i spent a year there one weekend stuck in a snowstorm. The bridge there when it snows causes the tractors to slide down and pile up at the bottom. We ran the wafflehouse and the other restaurant out of food and if they didnt have cable i prolly woulda tried walking back home . The drug store didnt have the medicine we needed in stock either so we went without cholesterol meds and tummy meds for a few days.. I think if youre a bad person when you die you go to Winchester VA .. saadam , Jeffrey dahmer and adolph hitler prolly live there

Sorry you didn't like Winchester. I've never darkened the door of a Wafflehouse, but maybe if you laid off that stuff, you wouldn't need cholesterol medication and "tummy meds". I don't have much use to go to NY either. Reminds me of a song phrase: "Just send me to hell, or New York City, it would be about the same to me". Like I said, I wouldn't want to live in Winchester (or any city for that matter), but i'm used to being back here in the woods, where I can leave the keys in my truck, I've never locked the house doors, and I couldn't tell you where the keys for said doors would be. Never had any call to lock them. Never had any problems, but if anyone comes fooling around where they shouldn't be, there's enough firepower to make them wish they hadn't.
