|
| Only one morning, thus far, with any frost at all.
|
| We spent Xmas and New Years in shorts.

|We went down for the weekend. I had to change into

|I had a pair stashed away in a drawer at the beach house.
|We drove to O.I to have dinner with my folks Saturday

|greet us still with *his* shorts on from working in
|the yard...and a cold beer.

Notice how many trees and bushes are budding out? The first week of
January?

|Did you read that article in Sunday's paper about Falls Lake?
|I didn't realize they screwed up on the depth when it was built.

No... I didn't see that! What did they do wrong. I know that they are
talking about augmenting the depth somehow. John... you better pay
attention, when you move, you are going to be contributing a bit to
the effort!


I hadn't read the OP. Which newspaper would this be in? I sent an email to
the parks folks down there who said Falls Lake was down 9 feet and that
only one ramp (Highway 50?) was open. I'm praying for rain...in NC.
