Memories: When I was in Virginia a decade ago, I found my grandfather’s old Coal Miner’s Certificate - given to him back in 1947 - from the state of West Virginia’s Department of Mines. I’m guessing they had to go through some basic safety classes and maybe some training on how to operate some of the equipment they’d be using. ~ Saturday, February 16th, 2013.

For those who plan to spend their snuggled away on the couch with a nice cup of black tea, I might have something to listen to: Old Gods of Apalachia — set in the Apalachian Mountains roughly in the 1920th. The very well produced offers awesome narrated horror anthologies-stories in the tradition of H.P. . , , , , and the Great Depression mixed with fine horror elements 👻👍☠️ oldgodsofappalachia.com

“A dense darkness you could touch, the whirring din of the coal-cutting machine, throwing into the air black dust … all in stifling heat. I have never had a tougher day in my life.”
