Well, we didn’t go to Louisiana. Instead, we picked up a trailer full of “home fries” fixin’s; potatoes and onions headed for North Carolina. The load was on a tight schedule so we had to drive pretty hard all night.
As we were driving through tobacco country around Winston-Salem this morning, we were struck by the schizophrenic nature of that industry. Here is an entire area whose economy is largely based on an activity that much of society is trying to abolish, though we didn’t see any outward signs of a weakening economy.
