Thoughts of a solitary Yankee driving through North Carolina

1. Sign at the North Carolina Welcome Center:
So they may approach us?

Isn't it that the law prevents solicitors, not the courts? Do you think someone is a sore loser?

2. Bluegrass isn't so bad if they don't sing too much.

3. Sign at gas station:
(Read with a southern drawl.)
If paying by cash, please pay cashier on inside [sic] before pumping. "Thank You"

4. Any Starbucks north of the Mason-Dixon line would be embarrased of what passes for a bagel down here.

5. It took some searching, but they DO have NPR!

6. There might be something to this global warming thing. The oceans evaporating might account for this humidity.

7. I'm grateful that my mother in law loaned me her car, with Virginia license plates. It's a bit easier to pass for someone who knows what's going on than it would be if I had the minivan with New York plates.
