other options thirteen the she'll have some time on employed and our customers swell her uncanny was founded on coal and there's a reason harris county has a deal that's the reason. that is hard and can zap it if they squeeze warren county as it did in co and they get coal there's nothing else here we don't have the luxury of the cities we don't have factories we don't in the reason now days because those are closed in the mountains we don't have the road boys and it's largess a mantra it's going to get me in a day and. i go flip hamburgers at the local mcdonald's or i go down here peace joy may pay to fight it well that's now don't pay my bills over horrors rooibos least. you can walk straight fanny's blame only if you did more to get run over people

waiter here and. take. my two hours and thirteen scenes an hour rusty is and says that how much around anymore. is our very do. not as much money in the time. when my doing here i just got out of jail my. possession of stolen property. and not get. jailed jail. as. a feature three times a day. for t.v. . knowledge that. i don't need all those things you.

need you. here with me. it's no. good. you know i'm down. that's how i was a teenager smith and jones and screams this is through the roof is places really oh and the story carried a pistol on us that we have euro enough carried we'll never see us in the steel. wool i've learned them away now oh i. must tell him that we meet. so. well.

i'm the gun guy here the pawn shop here for the past five years we take everything from you know d.v.d.'s to. boat motors or whatever you want to madge and we have some motorcycles smothered in the mining equipment like us say we would take a lot of that stuff you would sell a four hundred dollar mining helmet maybe once a week the lights daily but the fact of the mining mines are shut down makes it difficult to sell that stuff because these were so these were being sold to personal miners for their own use they're not in mining anymore course they're not buying that. line. here. where all of them are very accounting. ever.

in the states is tough today it's hard to see any traces help the turbulent past there once made hard in the tories. the county is still mostly dry and once one for years people used to make moonshine knowledge drugs are on the rice a trust pain killers prescribed by doctors to treat danger and six miners now i'll ask a prime d'antin that's. a lot of people here this is a big region or a. nurse said yes and. very much anything that makes them feel better and are they going to make them feel better. we have a lot of problems with items that are coming in that are stolen. maybe not just from drug users but that is a problem and i say again it's desperation to try to get some money to maintain a habit you know and i think sensor. all this you know all the mining and

depression of the mining everything it's caused. a rising pills. it's the pills or the new alcohol. you're talking about the forty inch in the. forty's and fifty's yeah. so in the fifty's well we made lou sure it's only here in december we because of worries but the race will be able to hope for as we carry in brazil yourself forward our again. the black berries will we go to order again but we get a lift you know. money from their. clothes and some truth for them where they're. mostly what would love for in the food was corn meal lowered. so we would go a bit there will be with also the. flat.

in the beginning that would only have to take a few hours at the last count it towards the end of my credit alex they. found italian. and maybe before they switched to the ones in jail. i went from my feet you know and they hand it to sales an hour and a half with the jobs around coalmines. showed them them all the polarizer said that there was a laughter at the mars is a live picture in a van with people. in poverty. it's knowing. i was the same road scientists hundred pushed highly walked three decades ago and words from the opening paragraph to his book come to my mind. it was nineteen eighty eight my shift based. to harlan county i was in the winding road from harlan

to our birds driving a borrowed pickup truck when i began to notice the road kill it was a dangerous road with more than its share of adventurous drivers and it was getting dark. i began to think of the many ways in which that was a presence in this land that any most there road accidents and of course the corn mines the audience and black lung. returning to new york leaving behind harlan in the endless rain. i tried to put together the pieces sober remotes were to i only got a glimpse off. my own with wonder where all that energy came from. the energy that lights up the luxury. there was believe
