Title: Almost Blue
Post by: tonypep on August 21, 2013, 06:17:44 AM: Thinking of Pierre briefly while driving over the bridges at the wee hours this am. If that full moon was any whiter it would indeed have been blue. Yesterday it was yellow ochre.
Oh BTW "Almost Blue" is an excellent Elvis Costello song look it up.
Just trying prove I'm a real person!

I wanted to move to Charleston but my wife is afraid she won't be able to drive over that bridge. That is such a nice area. I could not get over how friendly people are when you leave South Florida.

Yes it's not at all uncommon for total strangers to say "Hey" here. Unfortunately Conde Naste voted CHS/MP as the most favored destination in the world and it's showing. My sleepy bohemian town has grown up.
Good name for a band The Sleepy Bohemians

Perhaps in a few more years as they reach our age, The New Bohemians can take advantage of your suggestion.

Post by: balloonguy on August 21, 2013, 04:09:04 PM: running it does not interest me. The surrounding areas are great though. Maybe I will have to put Charleston or Mount Pleasant back on my short list...
