It might be the way a passing driver lifts his hand in greeting or a certain phrase, or the smell of a vinyl coat. The particular details of our lives are often our most potent sources of memory and meaning. Many of the essays in this book take their inspiration from those ordinary moments that unexpectedly reveal themselves to be loaded with powerful and even extraordinary information. Michael Chitwood draws on memories of growing up in the shadow of the Blue Ridge mountains with anvil-tough women and fox-clever men as well as his encounters with the computerized and rapidly changing world of the New South for these pointed pieces. A cross between jokes and parables, these short essays take on everything from the silliness of evangelical politicians to the seriousness of losing a beloved grandmother. Chitwood is standing at the intersection where the dirt road of the rural South meets the information super highway, and, like any smart bluetick knows to do, he`s looking both ways.
