Fall has finally arrived in Raleigh! Temperatures may be close to 80, but the cooler weather a week ago has finally given us some vibrant color. I noticed some bright yellow, orange, and red on the drive to work yesterday. Foliage Network Southeast U.S. Report Raleigh WeatherCam (NWS/NCSU)
Why is it that people don’t get this simple fact? Time and time again, I see others waste thousands of dollars on used American cars because they don’t see the value in spending a bit more on a decent Honda, Nissan, Toyota, etc. Then, they have the nerve to bitch about such POS cars when […]
Well, it looks like we’ve finally had to go to the Greek alphabet. Alpha has been named. This has never happened in the history of named storms! http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at5+shtml/210051.shtml?3day
Last night, the Rolling Stones rocked a crowd of about 40,000 at Duke’s Wallace Wade Stadium. I am *so* glad that I was able to attend this installment of their “A Bigger Bang” world tour. It’s amazing that the band still has as much energy as they do! It was a great night and one […]
Well, I am finally done with my GMAT! While I didn’t get an *amazing* score today (my third attempt), I finally got a decent score that is within the range of the program that I am targeting. It makes me sick to think of all the hours I have spent preparing and the dollars I […]
I couldn’t believe the following NWS advisory that I read for New Orleans today (I’ve never seen anything like it before). Let’s hope that NOLA is spared and that the following doesn’t come true! New Orleans is a great place…good luck to everyone there in getting through this difficult time. WWUS74 KLIX 282139NPWLIX URGENT – […]
Ok, I have a new pet peeve…people that act like the ATM is their *personal* device! There are two main groupings of such creatures: 1.> People who have multiple transactions (i.e. more than 3) and take an eternity to perform just one. They may even remove their card between transactions, tie their shoes, stretch, eat […]
I read a story about this yesterday in USA Today. Gas prices have “comfortably” surpassed $3 in LA. I’m guessing that it won’t be long until $3/gallon gas spreads across the country. (It’s already $2.59 in NC). Time to order the Prius…or better yet, a Honda motorcycle?
I know this is a bit late, but I just wanted to say congratulations to Chris and Amanda! Stacey and I were lucky enough to attend their wedding last weekend in Buffalo. It was great to see all our friends in the area and share in this happy event. It couldn’t have been a more […]
Well, I didn’t have much confidence that online check in would work for tonight’s flight (none, really). I decided to try anyway like I always do. Needless to say, I was in shock when the system said my boarding pass was available and I could print it now! Huh? It has only been a week […]
