Regarding your recent Xpress story about Tiger Woods and The Cliffs at High Carolina: I made this etching because, as we would drive by the "See what inspired me" billboards, my husband said that instead of the rolling mountains behind the image of Woods, he saw instead mountaintop removal and destruction.

Thanks for catching our omission, and sorry about that. The letter writer submitted an etching that you’ll find in the Letters section of our print edition this week.
But we should have it here too, so Monday we’ll get it uploaded for you.
When he looks at peaks and valleys, we all know what Tiger sees.
land he could rape for profit?
