They are drillin' all over the place for Natural Gas......I was just considering complaining to the Sheriff....to see if he would enforce the law and make the Gas Company (Dominion Resources) clean up the roadway....like they are supposed to.....

Oh, and to those of y'all who are unfamiliar with West Virginia.....the natural resources of this state were stolen quite some time back.....we even have a carpetbagger Senator named Rockefeller .....anybody remember who owned the original Standard Oil Co.??
