Hi Charles,
CB> CB>> same here, i live in ormond, but everyone knows daytona so it's
CB> just easier LOL
RH> Everybody knows Raleigh but a lot of people hear Wake Forest and think
RH> of the university. They moved in 1957, taking tobacco money from RJ
RH> Reynolds. In 1960, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary moved into
CB> only bit of NC I know of is the bit where i95 runs through it im
CB> afraid, that and of course "south of the border" which im still yet to
CB> go to, it's always 2am when im going past there.
I know the I-95 corridor; my in laws used to live in FL so we'd take 95
down thru GA and into FL, then go various ways to get to Zephyrhills.
When we lived in Savannah, I-95 up to where we could cut over to I-81
was one way we headed north. We've stopped at SOTB twice, had a mediocre
lunch at a Mexican restaurant (in October, so past the main season) one
time. I think the other time was for ice cream, but it was less than
memorable.
RH> the vacated campus, not sure when the The College @ Southeastern moved
RH> in. SEBTS is what brought us to Wake Forest, other things have kept us
RH> here.
CB> if you like it, why change right ?
The situation has changed; we're talking about maybe moving out west in
a few years.
CB> <HURRICANE IAN>
CB> the CB>> only time i get to eat at fancy places like outback etc kik
RH> Nice to beable to enjoy meals like that every so often.
CB> yeqa it's about the only time I do.. that said, i do try andd take the
CB> missus somewhere at least once a month.
I'm sure she appreciates that. We'll hit up a casual place now and again
but try to go to someplace better for special occaisions. Missed that
this year for our anniversary as I was in the leg immobiliser but will
make up for it on the cruise ship next week. (G)
RH> We were watching to see where it would come thru NC--a bit further east
RH> and we would have had a lot more damage than we did.
CB> yea we got lucky as i say, was supposed to come right up I4 over the
CB> top of us and then took a bee line down the 408/528 to cocoa.
Steve wanted to move to FL several years ago; I'm glad I talked him out
of it. (G)
CB> windy RH>> there (usually 30-40mph range) but not tropical storm or
CB> hurricane strength. 100 mph, even as a gust, can do a lot of
CB> RH>> damage.
CB> oh yea for sure... stormsurge though is the worst thing.. I remember
CB> during hurrican matthew a number of years back, I was doing footage
CB> for the tv station and I watched coquina rock (A REALLY dense
CB> limestone full of shells etc) the size of a fiat 500 car be tossed
CB> around like it was styrofoam... one ended up on the road and they
CB> needed 2 bulldozers to move it.
I can believe that.
RH> We're about an hour and a half, maybe 2 hours from beaches--depends on
RH> which one we want to go to--so our weather instruments are in the house
RH> and yard. I've thought about picking up an animometer and maybe
RH> something else as Steve likes to give weather reports on several ham
RH> radio networks.
CB> other than the NWS stations, the closes wx station sfor our stuff is
CB> chapel hill, cary,
CB> clayton, smithfield etc nothing on your side. but it does appear to be
CB> a very warm 43 degrees there according to the little airport you guys
CB> have just to the north east (triangle North KLHZ)
Up in Louisburg?
CB> CB>> taken his head out the
CB> CB>> mouses arse) says how high..
RH> I've yet to get to one of those places, probably never will and not miss
RH> much.
CB> to be honest, you aint missing much... 180 bucks each (FL Resident
CB> price OOS is higher) 5+ hour waits just to go on a 3 minute ride oh
CB> yea, not to mention 10 dollar bugers, (not incl. fries) and 4 dollar
CB> water bottles...
CB> yea no thanks..
Agreed. (G)
CB> that said, KSC is worse... last time we went to KSC, there was 5 of
CB> us.... cost us 75 bucks to park, and another 600 bucks just to walk in
CB> teh door.. if we wanted a tour etc that would be even more.
What is KSC?
RH> I see you've talked to others on this echo. I joined it back in 1994
RH> when we were in Arizona--it had a lot more participants. My cooking is a
CB> mish-mosh of various ethnic and American regionals.
RH> We lived in several
RH> states plus Germany (and Steve, Korea) in 26 years with the Army and
CB> i've been lucky to live the world over so have had my fair share of
CB> "weird stuff"
RH> picked up how to make a lot of our favorites from each place we lived.
CB> Stateside, we were in CA, MA, TX, AZ, GA and HI,
RH> finding favorite foods
RH> from each place. Probably my favorite NC foods are eastern NC pulled
RH> pork bbq and banana pudding.
CB> never really been that much of a "BBQ" fan. but banana pudd'n...
CB> that's a whole new kettle of fish LMAO
Our state fair is offering a frozen banana pudding (don't remember if
it's on a stick or in a taco shell) this year. Since we don't go to the
fair, we'll not get to try it.
