We're Breeding Like Rabbits!

Well, OK, maybe not - but close to it. Today's Charleston Daily Mail has an article that announces West Virginia has added 250 lawyers per year to the population over the past 25 years. Ominous as that sounds, state bar chief Tom Tinder explains that the state also loses about 150 a year through retirement, movement out of state, and the assumption of room temperature. We also have fewer lawyers per capita than most states.

That explains all of the huge umbrellas and sidewalk blockers in downtown Charleston... :)
