Pertaining to Roanoke...
Gossip: People around here worry about everyone else's business and what everyone else thinks too much. Worry about yourself.
Roads: You people need to learn how to drive. Figured out what that weird stick is, which is on the left side of your steering column? That's a turn signal. They're really great.
