I've been to NC before. The weather sucked, the accent sucked, the racism sucked, though walks in the forest were nice. I could have taken a job there and lived like royalty, but it's not a place I liked. Now with politicians as stupid as this, I'M DECILLIONLY GLAD! Anyway, I woulda had to go to Charlotte. Double yuck! Crime rate on top of everything else.
Here's the list:
