I envy all you folks with a home town. By the time I was 25 I had lived in Lexington, Harrodsburg, Nichlasville, Hazard, Blackey, and Neon, all in Kentucky. Fort Pierce and St. Lucie in Florida. Nashville, Murfreesboro, and Lenoir City in Tennessee. And even for a time, in Lawton, Oklahoma. Now I live out in the country near Dixie Lee Junction where I have been for the last 30 years. But I don't know of any place I can call my hometown. It's been so long since I have seen some of those towns, I may have mispelled a couple.
