Smoked Ghost

As we entered the foggy city of Greenville, North Carolina, our angel shouted our names


and shook our snacky peanut butter hands with vigor.


Once we learned that the fog was not in fact fog, and we were in fact being smoked, we swam upstream to a property 20 minutes outside the city.

If you had sharper eyes, you would see Godfrey putting on
a small performance piece using a free limb.

Mrs. Real Estate sez:

Approx. 600 road frontage. Soil report on file, percs for 5 large tracts, plus 2 septic systems installed on old homesite. Cut over 3-5 years ago. County Water tap in place. Perfect for mini-farm subdivision, or build your private homestead on this beautiful tract with a short commute to the hospital and/or ECU. Small pond on site and bordered by a nice creek

The land was nice,


but cut.


And we quickly realized we were not alone.


Around the watering hole, adjectives made Heather feel something.


Word on the street is that they were murky, small, and still. Luckily we didn't get too down on ourselves and soon found a roller coaster.


Along the front, among six hundred feet of road frontage, sat an invisible home with septic tank and clean green coaltricity:


A long animal confirmed our suspicions of non aloneness, and raised hairs of Godfrey, former venom victim.


After exploring, the interim road ghosts shared the evening together,


and traversed our usual checklist of Guardian Angel Discussion Topics:

1. Shriners. White Masons have asked black Masons on a play date. Developing story.
2. The Confederate flag. According to Godfrey, not about hate, black people just have too much time on their hands. Debatable.
3. Flooding. Before Y2K, Greenville flooded 25 feet. Heavy rains and opened floodgates rushed water from state capital. No love for Raleigh.
4. Sweat rags. Essential.

As the sky darkened, we said goodbye and went on our way.


As we arrived at an RV resort some miles away, Godfrey and his bluetooth checked to make sure we made it OK. We had, and did, and our morning calisthenics around the lake ended with a surprise.


Overall Greenville did not impress during our short visit. We hear it's a nice place. But Northward we continued.
