Afghanistan

Well, what do you know? I have spent the past few years trying to figure out how to access my blog. I'd given it up for dead. Bwahahaha! Let's see if I can resume.

Say what you may about Afghanistan, they have one of the best panhandles out there. It's known as the "Wakhan Corridor" and is a result of the rivalry between Russia and Great Britain in the second half of the 19th century. It was created to provide a buffer between the the two empires.



Speaking as a citizen of West Virginia, I've always had a fondness for panhandles. This one's a beauty. And it's all-natural, too. The northern border is comprised by a river, and the rest follows mountain ridges. By all accounts, it is a beautiful land.

That's all for now, but I will be back. Until then...
