I went to a continuing education meeting in Asheville this weekend.  The first night I stayed a the hotel.  Then the next 2 I spent with Emily and Keiran. 

I listened to lectures on skin, 

ears, and kidneys.  The lectures were ok, nothing all that helpful.  Virginia requires 15 hours a years, so I am now done.  The conference had a sponsor for the lunch on Friday but we were on our own for lunch Saturday. 

Where I had stayed at the hotel and signed up for their free rewards program to get a lower rate, I had a coupon for free wings from the bar.  It was better than the meal on Friday.  

I stayed with Emily and Keiran in Brevard.  The town is known for its population of white squirrels.  They are everywhere.     According to the City of Brevard,

"The white squirrels in Brevard originated from a pair of white squirrels that escaped from a carnival truck in Florida around 1949. They were given to a local resident, who later gifted them to his niece. After one escaped and the other was released, they began breeding in the wild and established the local white squirrel population." 

Emily and I walked around her neighborhood this morning and I also spotted a few goats. 

I thought these were exceptionally lifelike renditions.
