I've been following the Ellington Hotel / Condo issue here in Asheville for a while and I still don't understand the various arguments from the critics ("the building is too high!"

Blind Melon sang it best...
"And I start to complain that there's no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape "
Asheville has been completely dry and barren over the past month. However, we had a good soaking rain yesterday and today. So, let's hope El and baal have heard our cries to the storm ...

Anna, Schaefer, Macy and I went to DuPont State Forest just outside of Brevard, NC for a nice hike on Sunday.
We had a great time and Macy is quite the little hiker...
