Teresa & Mike CHS - Our journal

I'm friendly like a big, wet, muddy dog. I just can't help myself.

LOL- I just had a similar experience. I was commenting on how much traffic there was (we were going up and around Raleigh) and how crazy it was...I thought maybe Christmas shopping traffic or something... My DH drives in this all the time, he starts laughing and saying nah... this is nothing compared to the weekdays.


Yikes!

Many decades ago, a friend of mine and I took a weekend off from duty at Cherry Point Marine Air Station MAG-14 (near New Bern) and after a bus ride, spent it in Raleigh. I think maybe mid '69.
Just a sleepy little city at that time. Easy to get around in and pretty good local bus service then.
(spent all our $$ WW&S and had to hitch hike back tho)

@greybeard I bet it was like how we all pictured it when we watched The Andy Griffith Show. They had to go to the "Big City".
Of course even now getting in and out of Raleigh is a breeze compared to No VA and the beltline around DC... Atlanta is the worst.... but I hear LA is a true nightmare.

That is a hike to New Bern. WW&S

L.A. is fine ... as long as you do your driving between 2 & 5 AM when there is visible space between the cars on the freeway. Driving in ALL big cities is BAD BAD BAD. Too many people and all in a big hurry. Courtesy is non existent. True also in smaller "big" cities. I moved to Vermont nearly 40 years ago. People would stop and let you cross in front of them or (gasp!) get on the road in front of them. Still happens up here in the "less big" city but down in Burlington, South Burlington, etc ... they close the gap to make SURE you can't get in front of them. And that goes for letting someone cross in front because then someone coming out of the side road or parking lot might get in front of them. And they do not follow the LAW which says you can not enter an intersection you can not immediately clear. So the people on the cross street get a green light and go .... nowhere.

I treated them just like we do in Tennessee. I truly think it does scare them and especially so when I answer for them when they don't.

Oh I bet!! They probably think you escaped from the asylum.

I commuted to D.C. from Virginia Beach for over a year and a half (long story) and despised that drive.

We got back home this evening in time to feed my big dogs. They were happy campers and my stoic boy Thor even lost his cool and knocked me over as I squatted down to get my loving.

Just wait until he gets big!

It's a great feeling to know ya was Missed and no matter what another may say or do...they'll never be able to replace ya with the animals....

Rained all day which made it easier to give my shoulder another days rest. We made use of the time by canning up a bunch of my BBQ sauces and mixing up enough of my BBQ rub to give as Christmas gifts. Ever since we did the big BBQ for the church several months ago I have had people offer to buy some and figured they would make good gifts. Teresa is in the kitchen now making a bunch of home made egg noodles for the same reason.

 

[Pastor Dave]

I still have a gallon sized ziploc bag half full of barbecue rub in the freezer that I made up summer before last.

I generally use Sweet Baby Rays barbecue sauce.

I will put in an order for the egg noodles though.
