You, my friend, possess wisdom.

That one phrase summed up life in general.

It explains every bad decision in my life!

I like that one, I also like, "Some people's children" It's amazing how many times that one can come in to play...

Just off Capital, right at the beltline. I avoid that area most of the time, due to the traffic. But there are a lot of stores, and good restaurants around there. We've had a dinner just down from there before, at a BBQ restaurant.

Sorry to hear they are canceled.

I stayed because I knew that my house wasn't going to take on water. Alot of idiots around New bern had to be rescued though. That area floods during a thunderstorm, yet they stayed even with rain predictions of 20+" and 9' storm surges. I believe I heard 150 swift water rescues for just Thursday night alone. Had flooding or storm surge even been a tiny bit of a concern for my house you're damn right we would of checked out of here .
