My ex-wife really knew how to cook eggs including killer sausage cheese omelets. I think she just didn't want to cook 'em for me after 21 years.

My new wife of 26 years is not so good with eggs but she's still my best fishin, shootin' and RV'n buddy. In fact we're headin' for the Blue Ridge Mountains of VA this Sunday and won't be back until some time in November.

Trying to figure where Harlan and Hazard comes in to Hatfield and McCoy, which occurred along the Tug river, the eventual border between Kentucky and West Virginia.

I taught a class in Paintsville KY a few years back and had people in my class related to both families, and a couple of Loretta Lynn's cousins. Fun class: One of the election officials I was teaching the new equipment to had not spoken to another in something like 30 years, one was a Democrat and the other a Republican, cousins to each other, and one a Hatfield and the other a McCoy. I made the mistake of pairing them off (randomly) to operate some of the equipment. Thankfully the County Clerk, one of Loretta Lynn's cousins, clued me in and I corrected the error.

I cook the eggs in my house, my wife destroys them.
You've got the (Snuffy Smith) picture. Harlan and Hazard used to be pretty rough coal mining areas in far eastern Kentucky (sung about by Flatt and Scruggs). For that matter, prior to completion of I-40 there were areas; e.g., Cosby, in east Tennessee that were not for 'flatlanders'.

WV is another story - or was when I was Chief Field Engineer on a coal-fired power plant project on Mt. Storm, WV, circa 1971-72.

Aah, those were the days, weren't they? I didn't need a CHL back then, I was exceedingly handsome and fit, extremely intelligent and bullet proof. Thanks for the memories. {SIGH}
