Damn it's cold! My outside thermometer reads 53-F now.

[DemoTex]

It will probably be mid-40s in the morning. I love it, though. So do the dogs.

I'm in the beautiful western NC mountains. Reminds me of James.

In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moonshine
Ain't it just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

Karen she's a silver sun
You best walk her way and watch it shinin'
Watch her watch the mornin' come
A silver tear appearing now I'm cryin'
Ain't I goin' to Carolina in my mind

There ain't no doubt in no one's mind
That loves the finest thing around
Whisper something soft and kind
And hey babe the sky's on fire, I'm dyin'
Ain't I goin' to Carolina in my mind

In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moonshine
Ain't it just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

Dark and silent late last night
I think I might have heard the highway calling
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
Signs that might be omens say I going, going
I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

With a holy host of others standing 'round me
Still I'm on the dark side of the moon
And it seems like it goes on like this forever
You must forgive me
If I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind

In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moonshine
Ain't it just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

Goin' to Carolina in my mind.
And I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind.
Goin' to Carolina in my mind.

(Goin')
(I'm goin')
(I'm goin')
(Say nice things about me 'cause I'm going southbound)
(Carry on with out me 'cause I'm going)

C U @ Celo someday, James. Sandy Bottom.

1. Yup - you are not in Texas...

it's cooled off to the 80's about now. Do you need a roommate???

[HamHocks4Kerry]

3. Or a maintenance person for the estate?

I vacation in W. NC and E. TN quite regularly. Beautiful country.

[DemoTex]

5. Normally, in mid-August, it is still near 100-F at 9 pm in Dallas

No, I don't miss Texas one bit. Roommate? Hmmmm? I'm not sure Dr. DemoTex would go for it.

2. How horrible for you

here in Florida it's actually dipped down below 80 (79 right now - sheesh) - enjoy the cool weather my friend...

4. must be the next ice age starting up....

... 40's in NC on August 7th is too cold.

[DemoTex]

6. What I hate about is when the wing-nuts say "Global warming?"

Global warming? We have had two nights of record cold temperatures so there cannot possibly be anything to this "global warming" horse-shit! Really. What further proof do you need? Just ask Ru$h, he knows all about it.

Burn baby, burn.

7. I live in the Hudson River Valley in NY . . .

where August is ALWAYS so hot and humid that all you an do is stay indoors and run the A/C . . . right now, the temperature here is 55, and the humidity about 30% . . . something is very definitely not right . . . not complaining, mind you, but it's worrisome nonetheless . . .
