I'm Back...... We had a great time in North Carolina this past week, the weather was a bit warm, but nothing like our Florida summer heat. Sitting on the back porch in the cool morning air, drinking the first cup of coffee while watching the humming birds buzz around the feeder, it just doesn't get any better than that. We took a ride on the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad, I think it would be considered a tourist trap, but it was really kind of cool. The train runs through the Nantahala gorge, right next to the river where you can watch the kayaks and larger rafts running the rapids. Next time we go I'm renting a kayak and giving it a try, what could go wrong?
We also visited with all my family members who now call NC home, they bailed out of Florida after the storms of '04. I think my Mom and Dad suffered PTSD after those storms destroyed their house, it wasn't pretty. Now they're just praying that next winter isn't as bad as the last one. I hope it's not, they're running out of places to move to.
On our last day there we had a BBQ at Mom and Dad's house, chicken and ribs along with all the other BBQ standards, it was pretty awesome. We also got in a few rousing games of
Corn Hole, it's not as scary as it sounds. The politically correct call it Bean Bag Toss, but that just doesn't have the same ring to it.
Well that's about it for today, it's good to be home.
Here's your daily dose of wisdom:
Electricity is actually made up of extremely tiny particles called electrons, that you cannot see with the naked eye unless you have been drinking.
