    WV? In the 90s, I remember my uncle still didn’t have a septic tank or sewage; the family still used an outhouse. For breakfast, they’d often make biscuits and gravy with this weird, and I assume cheap, canned-gravy I’ve never seen anywhere else (was good, but likely very unhealthy). Most of my family from there are dead now (drugs, shit-life-syndrome).

      Also, I didn’t have a septic tank either as a kid. I remember using outhouses at relatives houses and our shit (at my house) just went from a pipe to the creek.

      It’s hard to imagine living like that nowadays, but I did once upon a time.

      You know it. I’m a West (by God) Virginian.

      Crazy how I can just talk about the place and my fellow West Virginians know it without me saying it.

      You and I have the same story haha.
