Well, that&#8217;s not <em>entirely<\/em> true, because I know it was within 75 klicks and at least westward from here, but not much more than that. And I&#8217;m not sure Jim would even recognize it from the photo above, so I included one of the few others that I got on the same day, not too far away, of a solitary silo right smack in the middle of the road, pretty much in the middle of town too, but even the one horse died because the silo no longer has a roof and the silage is all moldy now. Someone might recognize this, but seriously, this was in the boondocks, and North Carolina is good at boondocks &#8211; maybe not up to Alabama&#8217;s level (if &#8220;up&#8221; is the right word here,) but pretty boondocky all the same. I&#8217;m a little surprised the silo is still standing, because I imagine it&#8217;s a prime target for drunk drivers and drunk driving has to be, like, the <em>only<\/em> Friday night activity in the town, but as of 2005, there it was.
