I dig Rube Goldberg machines.
Where else in Carolina is cool enough for cool stuff? Besides, maybe, the beach.

A lot of my old friends from high school are trickling into Charlotte one by one, so it's possible you could end up in Charlotte as well Tyler.

Now Raleigh is pretty cool though.
They have this big earth looking thing attached to a building on Lane street.

I'm sure it is. It just doesn't feel like a 'city' to me. The area (Raleigh/Cary/Durham) is kind of decentralized.
I hear they have a pretty good music scene though.
As long as it imporves drive-time traffic on and off of 521.

. Local band wise, maybe you should get out more...lots going on here 
.Nothing will ever improve 77 to Providence on 485...unless they make it ten lanes now...which they're not, so by the time the construction is complete, growth will have increased to accommodate accordingly...nothing will change.

Exactly ! Actually it will get worse ! It will be just like the headache thats at concord mills ! All the expanding and road construction they are doing on 85 made traffic worse and its not even close to being done . Its been almost a year since they started it and all it has done has made things worse right now and by the time is done , growth will be up and it will be just like it was before with only 2 lanes .

Here's the rugrat swimming the Great Barrier Reef and chillin' in AU. Gone on a semester of study abroad to Melbourne. Will return just before Christmas.
I'm proud of her and wanted to share ....
.... but if this picture turns up anywhere else, I'll ban everyone of you leg-humpers.

This hasn't cost us any extra cash. Regular NCSU tuition (which would've been spent anyhow), she got an AU$5000 scholarship from the school there which covers housing and other expenses, she's working which takes care of spending money, cell phone, etc. Only thing I'm out is the plane ticket which we got with frequent flyer miles.

Jason might as well have red hair because clearly he has no soul.

I don't like thin hamburgers that look like they have been run over by a semi truck. Burgers should be as thick as a steak or even thicker. Last one I had was 3/4lb and 1.5in thick.

So you like a thick piece of meat? :ghey:
Usually I'm the same way with burgers BUT eating 4-5 of those mini burgers is a whole lot more fun than eating one huge one. Plus who doesn't want to get their hamburgers in a box?!?!?!
Then you can build stuff with the boxes!

This is a burger. That looks like animal feed.
