Took a three or four day horse trek with this crew and it was bucket list level. That was my trusty "old" horse in the above picture. I'll let you guess which one was me in the group.

Almost 20 years ago. I want to go back so badly.

I was there for a month almost 20 years ago. Greatest country I have ever experienced. Rent a car, go everywhere, both islands. I believe the South island is a little more rugged. Others have named key places, but in a car you can just let the views casually unfold. My analogy for NZ is it's as...

Porters Neck is really the northern edge of Wilmington so it's definitely not a small town feel. And we do pay people for all the maintenance. Between the constant maintenance, insurance, and property tax it is damned expensive...but that view and that access. And from Durham it will be 2 hours...

Live in Winston-Salem right now but moving back to Durham next year. I have lived in and around Durham for the past 25 years and find it to be the perfect balance (for me) of urban living and distance to other areas. Wife inherited waterfront (waterway) property in Porters Neck and that's the...

I've worked in downtown Durham for 25 years. Watching the courthouse circuses that were the Peterson trial and the Duke lacrosse trial was something else.

Y'all do know that other people attended/lived in the same space you old farts once occupied? ;)

What if you're labelled a "baby killer"? Can you be killed at Planned Parenthood? Can a double tap be ordered if you are seen crawling out of the rubble? You could live to kill babies again.

Seen REK a number of times. Gringo Honeymoon Have seen REK a couple of times. Absolutely love the Gringo Honeymoon album.

It really is an interesting inflection point, as the term "curry favor" is a term I consider neutral in relation to ethnic groups. But, if the neutral term is used in relation to an ethnic group where some part of the word group has connotations AND the receiver of said words interprets that...

I hear other people's opinion, and I suspect I'll be on the losing end of this whole argument, but I'd say I read this as a dad joke, where it was easy to use the correct idiomatic phrase (looked it up) "curry favor" and have it attached to a unique identifying personal characteristic. Are we...

Not to pour pure oxygen on a small flame, but how is the joke racist? The use of curry is a double entendre, but what's the worst, "racist" connection?

My wife and I have recently started wearing nighttime mouth guards for our teeth grinding, the result of which is much merriment at our lispy proclamations of love. The word pithy would probably be pronounced clearly regardless.

It's pithy language like this that keeps me on the internet.

Chris Knight singing a Robert Earl Keen song. Brutally beautiful. Chris has written some damn good songs himself.
