Good morning...
I've not been to Carolina (N or S) in quite a while. When I was in the band we were there several times a year. More of a homebody these days...enjoying our forest and small mountain.
But we're not far from the Blueridge...

Enjoy your Carolina state of mind. Thanks for the OT!

Hola QMS, que es eso?
izzat the membership contact spreadsheet?
We went to the Carolinas briefly last summer, a first for my wife and a first since my teens for moi. It was interesting, vaguely informative/educational, somewhat entertaining and overall pretty cool despite being the beginning days or leading edge of the 9 month flare from hell that wrecked the rest of the year and more. OTOH, said flare resulted in different and seriously improved treatment, so all for the good I guess.
Love the forest Orcas. Not sure who or what is keeping "it" moving nor what "it" may be, though ideas and suspicions abound, perhaps assisted by the fact that so much of our constabulary comes in black and white.
As the year slouches toward the solstice, the remaining time allotted to complete numerous real and artificial annual tasks seems to diminish almost exponentially, even though that cannot truly be the case, so I guess I'd best be off.
be well and have a good one

Pure but likely true speculation! It seems like the CIA is up
to its usual tricks.

It appears as if Castillo's actions came TOO late.
Of course the US had to adds its 2 cents to the situation!

Many “counterculture dropout era” memories of North Carolina
Visiting the barrier islands / staying overnight on Ocracoke; watching the 1970 solar eclipse from Dismal Swamp; living the country life amid places with names like Eagle Rock, Shotwell, and Lizard Lick…
Why does Jim Cramer still have a job?
Just have to throw another getaway tune
into the mix. Not Carolina, but still a good tune...

There's an extra body on that stage. Whom? n/t

I think
that Bob Dylan did a cameo at that one...

I thought it looked like him and kept waiting for him
to sing so I could confirm. Turns out he was there and didn't sing except a little with Bobby. There were, it seems others too, like Spencer Davis.

I like this song, proving I am a cretin.

Not *even*.
Hell, I still like "Mairzy Dotes"! (;-)

So, TLOML was wrong?
Cool!
Good luck with the upcoming brand spanking new knee!

Hah!
I must yield to TLOYL's expertise. However, I think that "cretin" should be reserved for very special and uniquely deserving cases, like "windshield spit washer" or "telephone solicitor", just the same...
And thanks for the kind thoughts! If this one works like the last one, I'll be dancing a jig by St. Patty's Day.

Well, … ♫ “wouldn’t you?” (munch, munch)

There was a band in Boston
in the mid '80s that did a great power-pogo-punk cover of that song, and it freakin' *killed*. Death In The Shopping Malls, I think it was, or maybe FIIK. I slept since then, and details are very sketchy in any case. Anyhow, I bounced off the walls several times to that one...
We all *do* eat weed(s), after all!

Born in Appalachia, West Virginia
Love those mountain folk.
Last time I went through the Carolinas was in late 90s on my Harley. Stumbled upon an ABATE run and just had to stop for the night. Whew! What a party.
Hit the road the next morning all bleary eyed and hung over.
Felt much better after 20 miles or so.
Thanks to everybody for the great tunes.
