                       The last day of summmer vacation

Today is the last day Bunny and I are in Brevard [1]. We met with an old
college friend George at 12 Bones [2], a well known barbeque restaurant in
Asheville [3]. It was quite the interesting place, located between the river
and a railroad among graffiti filled buildings. And there was a line out the
door. Like I said, it's well known in the area.

The food was good. And plentiful. Both Bunny and I had the ribs with the
pineapple habanero BBQ (barbequeue) sauce, and yes, it had a definite bite to
it.

Afterwards, Bunny and I headed to the WNC Farmer's Market [4], also in
Asheville. We are now the proud owners of a peck of peaches, a bushel of
tomatoes and a seemingly endless supply of corn. My car now smells like the
produce section of a supermarket.

Not that I'm complaining.

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control, I cannot post any more
pictures to the blog (the circumstance—I upload the pictures to my server at
home for processing, but there was a power outtage that lasted longer than
the UPS; bummer!). I wish I could, because then you could see the graffiti
filled buildings surrounding 12 Bones, and the very scary looking bee at the
WNC Farmer's Market (but in reality, your imagination will probably be
scarier than the real thing).

Tomorrow, the long drive back to Florida!
