  1. Was working for Square D / Schneider Electric in Raleigh NC.  Normal day - big multi-plant operations review going on.  Heard the news from someone walking by my desk.  Switched over to TBD and WGR radio.  The plant leadership team hustled to get a couple of vans rented and they drove back to Columbia / Seneca SC, Ashville NC and Louisville KY.  Sent text to wife to fill car up with gas.  Nothing got done past noon - left early.  First thing I did was put my flag up.

     

    Still remember the individual that was a frequent poster on TBD and his account of leaving the area and of getting home.

    H.P. Lovecraft.  Psychological horror. If you like Steven King you'll love HPL as King was inspired by him. I got his complete works for my Kindle for a whopping $.99

     

    Many of his stories are short but the themes are often carried on from one to the other.  Not is a serial fashion just thematically.   Good stuff!

     

    Do you mean Cold Mountain?  If so I read that years ago.  Good one!  I have an autographed first edition.  I collect first editions.  I have a first edition of Lovecraft's The Outsider and Others.  Damn thing is worth about $2k!  

     

    Good catch, yes - Cold Mountain.

  3. I called about 2 weeks ago to inquire about a discount expiring.  Got new discount.  While in the discussion with customer service rep he mentioned that I had been a long time subscriber (year 2 of home version ST).  CSR said that if I've been a customer for that long I should get ST for free.  Volia!!!  No begging, pleading, white lies.

  4. Went to SB31 (1997, GB v NE).  Had to fly in and out of Pensacola as flights to NO were booked solid (understandable).  Wound up in some pseudo-hotel / hostel.  Phew, that was in a sketchy area.  One block in the "wrong" way and it was not pretty.  I did get to meet Ralph Wilson, among many other NFL types, at the Friday nite NFL cocktail party.

  5. Thinking about it.  My sister lives in Jacksonville Beach.  Pretty good brew / pub (Intuition Ale Works) and distillery (Manifest) right near the stadium.

     

    Word of warning - Jacksonville is the largest city in the US (?) by square area.  In other words, it is spread out big time.  Beaches are 30 - 45 min from the stadium.
