Thanks!! cept the only thing I can say about Charlotte with any authority whatsover at this point is that for some inexplicable reason the traffic is worse than Manhattan...

Well, I'm sure you'll find out more.

well there is easier access to real barbecue...

I found that during my visit there a few years ago, The people were a hundred times nicer than they are in Florida... you could walk down the street in the morning as the sun is rising with a cup of coffee and pass people sitting on their doorstep... they would then greet you with a 'good morning', and a smile... can't do that here

I haven't tried that yet... I'm not a morning person by nature.. but I have noticed that people are more friendly here..

Where I'm at, you have to drive everywhere. Walking down the street is pretty much right out. No one that nice either.

I do miss being able to just walk wherever I needed. It seems like everything is so far away here... before anything I needed was a few blocks away, or at most a bus/subway ride...

I'd like to be able to do that. It would take a little bit of getting used to. All this driving is making lazy.

May I join?

Hi Evangeline!

It's surprising how quickly you get used to it, Joe. When I moved to NYC I thought the thing that would really make me crazy would be not having my car. By the time I moved here my biggest whine was about having to drive a car again... you don't suppose that just makes me a royal pain in the @$$, do you?

Hehehe

How have you been, Joe? Haven't seen around all that much... granted I haven't been around to much myself these days but still..

Well... I went on vacation, then I went on another one, then it was the couple of weeks between semesters that we use to get the class ready. So, I guess I've been busy...

busy with multiple vacations? not a bad thing...

Yep. It was good fun.

Howdy, folks...

I'm just about to write an article on Big Bend National Park, Texas. If anybody has any good bits they'd like to pass along, they're welcome to! Just spent a week there, and am much refreshed. Hiking, camping, getting away from/back to it all. One thing that amazes me is how good the air smells - around here it smells like dinosaur farts. Out there it's fresh and clean - the creosote and the blooming flowers...
