They moved in 1957, taking tobacco money from RJ RH> Reynolds. In 1960, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary moved into only bit of NC I know of is the bit where i95 runs through it im afraid, that and of course "south of the border" which im still yet to go to, it's always 2am when im going past there. RH> the vacated campus, not sure when the The College @ Southeastern moved RH> in. SEBTS is what brought us to Wake Forest, other things have kept us RH> here. if you like it, why change right ? CB> CB>>> yup and i have to go up to SC next week for work because of it RH>> Do you get travel pay for it? CB>> oh yea, i have a work truck and they pay fuel, hotels etc. about the CB>> only time i get to eat at fancy places like outback etc kik RH> Nice to beable to enjoy meals like that every so often. yeqa it's about the only time I do.. that said, i do try andd take the missus somewhere at least once a month. RH> We were watching to see where it would come thru NC--a bit further east RH> and we would have had a lot more damage than we did. yea we got lucky as i say, was supposed to come right up I4 over the top of us and then took a bee line down the 408/528 to cocoa. CB> CB>>> highest gust I saw was upwards of 100 miles per hour CB> CB>>> off the top of my head. RH>> That's windy! We used to live in southeastern AZ; it was quite windy RH>> there (usually 30-40mph range) but not tropical storm or hurricane strength. 100 mph, even as a gust, can do a lot of RH>> damage. oh yea for sure... stormsurge though is the worst thing.. I remember during hurrican matthew a number of years back, I was doing footage for the tv station and I watched coquina rock (A REALLY dense limestone full of shells etc) the size of a fiat 500 car be tossed around like it was styrofoam... one ended up on the road and they needed 2 bulldozers to move it. RH> We're about an hour and a half, maybe 2 hours from beaches--depends on RH> which one we want to go to--so our weather instruments are in the house RH> and yard. I've thought about picking up an animometer and maybe RH> something else as Steve likes to give weather reports on several ham RH> radio networks. other than the NWS stations, the closes wx station sfor our stuff is chapel hill, cary, clayton, smithfield etc nothing on your side. but it does appear to be a very warm 43 degrees there according to the little airport you guys have just to the north east (triangle North KLHZ) CB>> taken his head out the CB>> mouses arse) says how high.. RH> I've yet to get to one of those places, probably never will and not miss RH> much. to be honest, you aint missing much... 180 bucks each (FL Resident price OOS is higher) 5+ hour waits just to go on a 3 minute ride oh yea, not to mention 10 dollar bugers, (not incl. fries) and 4 dollar water bottles... yea no thanks.. that said, KSC is worse... last time we went to KSC, there was 5 of us.... cost us 75 bucks to park, and another 600 bucks just to walk in teh door.. if we wanted a tour etc that would be even more. RH> I see you've talked to others on this echo. I joined it back in 1994 RH> when we were in Arizona--it had a lot more participants. My cooking is a mish-mosh of various ethnic and American regionals. RH> We lived in several RH> states plus Germany (and Steve, Korea) in 26 years with the Army and i've been lucky to live the world over so have had my fair share of "weird stuff" RH> picked up how to make a lot of our favorites from each place we lived. Stateside, we were in CA, MA, TX, AZ, GA and HI, RH> finding favorite foods RH> from each place. Probably my favorite NC foods are eastern NC pulled RH> pork bbq and banana pudding. never really been that much of a "BBQ" fan. but banana pudd'n... that's a whole new kettle of fish LMAO regards Charles Blackburn === Charles Blackburn The F.B.O BBS 21:1/221 618:250/36 bbs.thefbo.us IPV4/V6 DOVE-Net FSX-Net MicroNET USENET ....
