I-85 widening meeting!

Happy Halloween! I wanted to share with you a very scary story. I know many of you drive Interstate 85 and you get caught in the terrible bottleneck from UNCC through Concord. The county is growing so fast, and they do not plan to widen the interstate until 2011! Four years and it's only going to get worse.

In Atlanta, they added one lane to Interstate 85 for 3 miles in less than a month. I don't know why they can't do the same thing here in North Carolina.

K&W Cafteria map was the only one I could find on goggle. I'm not quite old enough to become a BIG fan of K&W yet :-)

Coach accused of exposing buttocks after soccer loss!

I guess this is more proof that soccer is a sorry sport, unless Duke's team make the final four or wins the national championship. I wonder if the coach was english, since their fans are famous for being crazy about the sport (and streaking at wimbledon, wembley stadium, etc).

Sit. Stay awhile at Dog Friendly Bar!

Charlotte has a dog friendly place to get something to eat. I'm not sure if pixy would like it, but Dietrich did enjoy our trip to Sticky Fingers in Charleston, SC a few years ago.

No Backup if Atlanta's Faucets Run Dry!

I know we don't live in Atlanta, but since I drive there 4 days a week, it's hard to imagine that a major city could run out of water. I'm happy to report that Atlanta has had rain the last 2 days, though.

I'm glad that Dr Gray, the Hurricane expert, has challenged Gore's beliefs on Global Warming. We need more scientists to stand up to the Nobel Prize winning, Al Gore.

Full-tilt fun at the NC State fair!

The NC State Fair opened over the weekend. I have only been once, on a field trip at NKCA. I hate fairs and believe that they are a big waste of money. I guess if I would have graduated from South Rowan, then I may have a different opinion. I would prefer to spend my money on real amusements like Cedar Point, Carowinds, etc.

6-year-old tries to drive to restaurant

I can't believe that the little boy would want to go to "Applebee's"? I could see McDonalds, or some other fast food restaurant, but I'm not buying the "Applebee's" story. I hate "Applebee's"!

Congress considers Concord a third world city! LOL

This is awesome! I've always known that Concord was sick, but I had no idea it was so bad that you need the following shots to visit:

hepatitis A
hepatitis B
tetanus
diphtheria
influenza

I know that concord is inferior to KANNAPOLIS, but I had no idea that they were basically a third world city. I'm sure glad the "Battle for the Bell" will be played in Kannapolis this year.

Let's Go WONDERS!!!

"Jack Bauer" to Do Jail Time on DUI Charge!

The judge was nice to put him in jail while he's on winter break from 24. I would have been upset if "Jack" was finally stopped by some lowly traffic judge after defeating muslims, chinese, and europeans over the years.

90 again, then autumn -- maybe?

I guess in the new age of global warming, summer will not end until halloween. We will have to change the kind of costumes that we wear in future years. The old costumes could possibly lead to heat stroke for our young people.

Drag-strip dispute escalates in Concord!

This is the funniest story in a long time. Bruton Smith is upset he's not getting his way, so he's going to build a new speedway. I hope it comes to Kannapolis and he could rename it the "Dale Earnhardt Motor Speedway" in Kannapolis.

How Dry Is It?

It's so dry in North Carolina that

The Baptists are starting to baptize by
sprinkling,

The Methodists are using wet-wipes,

The Presbyterians are giving out rain-checks,

The Catholics are praying for the wine to turn back into water.

Now THAT's Dry.

Flag of Mexico Flown Illegally Over Reno Business!

I guess this will help lead regions to secede from the USA! There's a video on the page showing a US Army Vet taking the American Flag down, but I'm a little suspicious that the news 4 camera crew just happen to be there. I guess it's "good timing".
