If nc is half... Then alabama should be 1/4 back. Oh wait. Maybe I'm just hungry for McDonalds......

Depends on the direction of travel.

No.

Geez Dan, and hear I thought that term was only being used for the Wake County School Board.

:laughing: Depends on which BOE you are talking about. The ones that used to be on the board or the ones now. :laughing: The Wake County BOE has had a serious change in membership over the last two election cycles.

The supporters of the old board call the new board members some really bad names now a days.

I think a large percentage of Wake county is from the NE now a days. Certainly from up Nawth. The county and surrounding area have grown tremendously over the last few decades. Which is good and bad. A lot of rural land has been turned into city and subdivision.

I worked for the Wake County Public School System for 3 years, everyone I knew was from the north. I met one person who was from north carolina. I loved all the alternative names for places there. Cary, Concentrated Area of Rich Yankees...hehe still have friends down there. Loved the state, hated the pay.

Wake county has had several billion dollar bonds for education over the last few years. The pay might have gone up for teachers. :laughing: The battle for the BOE and the direction of the public education has gotten very ugly in Wake county.

We used to live in the Concentrated Area of Rich Yankees. HATED that place. Can't really say it was because of the Yankees. :laughing: The place really put on "airs".

I was up from my desk with my semi auto in the small of my back

You're a much better man than I to carry SOB in your own home:thumbsup:

In my own home, I prefer a small 20 gauge in both hands

Certainly from up Nawth

Dan, don't get your dialects confused. You're speaking "New Englander"

Only thing worse than a Yankee trying to speak "southern" is a southerner trying to speak Yankee talk LOL

YEAHH BOY! (that was my North Wilkesboro impersonation)

When I think of Knoxville, I think of the Channon Christian case. You have every right to stand your ground and check things out. And I wouldn't walk out there in the circumstances you described unarmed. I would not display a weapon without cause - but I would have one.

We had a crime ring here where after dark, a gal would set in the drive for a bit, then knock. If home, claim she was lost. Nobody home, then the burglery crew would arrive. County Sheriff finally cought them when they kicked the door on an occupied home.

Now that your deal is over, I'd catch the guy in the daytime and talk about it. If he does not want to reconcile, you were the bigger man and made an attempt.

We keep three high candle power spotlights and weapons handy. Not obsessed or scared. Just prepared.
