    Hello from the Deep South

And yes, I called my GP about...

    How and Why Did You Choose Your Username?

    My username represents the path in life I have traveled. Seems I can never get where I want to go in a straightforward way...always end up going a Country Mile. The avatar reflects that as well but it also happens to be my favorite kind of road to ride my bike on.
