Only, Zendik Farm's not there any more. The old Black Mountain College is&nbsp;near there too&nbsp;-- it's&nbsp;a Christian summer camp now, but still impressive.</p><p>I have&nbsp; a friend in Summit Point, West Virginia, who writes poetry and restores antique furniture. I like Appalachia. It's not just poverty and squalor like the Ozarks.&nbsp;<br /><br />Today I live in Kyiv.<br /><br /><a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/btaban/pic/00001ff5/"><img height="214" alt="" width="320" border="0" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/btaban/pic/00001ff5/s320x240" /></a><br /><br />No, that's not my truck.</p> http://btaban.livejournal.com/722.html public 0
