There's a thrill in the air

Here in the Triangle the people have something to look forward to when football is fruitless.....BASKETBALL!!!!! Late night with Roy was last night and the traffic in Chapel Hill was awful. Whatcha got to look forward to Georgia?

Witch Hazel

Today marks the 50th anniversary of Hurricane Hazel. I vividly remember this storm. We lived at Pope Air Force Base near Fayetteville and through my mind's eye I can see things flying down the alley behind our house.

Harry Reid's poll numbers in Nevada are dismal and I say good! The best thing that could happen in order to advance progressive reform would be to change the Democratic leadership in the Congress.

peace is....

..."to be able to defend yourself and blow your enemies to smithereens."

Sean Hannity (and he wonders)

We are all rich again!

The DOW just closed a bit above 10,000...so no need to worry any more.

It's the coach, I've said it all along.

Things are always happening!

The political intrigue of the"Pitt" continues...The Mayoral election is underway and like Pittsboro in general there is no middle ground, Randy Voller v Bill Crawford. Very few people seem to know much about Crawford and he did not show up for a candidate forum held the other night by the League of Women Voters. He too lives in our neighborhood but I have never seen him. The issues are many and very complex. Actually there are important issues...the "Pitt" water is suspect, there are strange dwellings around town, local merchants need support, and there is that strange smell that keeps coming back over on the other side of town. There are many who will vote for Crawford simply because he is a Republican and they despise Voller, but I have no idea who will win. Will keep you posted; I know you will be sitting on the edge of your seats come election night.

When given a choice the "Pitt" deer love flowers...you guessed it, no flowers in my backyard. They neatly nibble every little flower leaving all the plants with nubs. Gotta love em.

We have 4, count them, 4 pending sales!!!!!

They have paved Thompson Street (home to the Wash & Fold) so when you come to visit you no longer have to avoid pot holes.

Give Peace a Chance

The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Barack Obama! But I am sure the notecards are being distributed to the lemmings with instructions to disparage the venerable award. Think back to all the nasty words hurled Jimmy Carter's way and lets not forget the right's maligning of Al Gore.

"The Daily Beast" has determined that Raleigh Durham is the smartest city in the US.

"We need Democrats with guts"

.......Alan Grayson!!!!! You are the man!!!!
