Participating artists have created an art gallery on wheels, with imaginative designs that include imagery of riders on the bus, historic views of Raleigh, whimsical dinosaurs, robots and monsters, and a typographic portrayal of Sir Walter Raleigh.
On the way out of the fairgrounds we saw these little guys playing outside the pond. Stopped long enough to grab a few shots. I don’t think the mother geese (father geese?) were too thrilled about it but it made for some reasonably good pictures.
The Got to be NC Festival celebrates all things North Carolina and what is more North Carolina than antique tractors. Well – I can think of a few things but the tractors were pretty awesome. With rides, concessions and a overwhelming sampling of North Carolina made products this event is becoming a mini-fair in the spring. Check it out today and tomorrow if you can and don’t miss your chance to win the antique Ford tractor to the right. I’m [...]
Losing daylight fast we went over to Carter-Finley for a few quick shots around the stadium and the massive statue outside. We’ll be back this fall for some game action but till this is as close as you can get to the Pack.
The entrance to the Neuse River Trail at Anderson Point Park officially opened last month and just a short drive from the house it is a great place to go for a bike ride. Friday night we rode to the trail about 9 miles round-trip.
What did you do Saturday morning? Probably didn’t hike over six miles in your local state park following orange squares on trees like ET followed Reese’s Pieces with much less peanut butter. Yes – hiking will make you hungry.

And as another December rolls around we start another Adventure with another Star Wars Lego Advent Calendar. This year starts off with something Star Wars must believe in more than Santa and that is someday we’ll come around and like the overwhelming mistake that was Jar Jar Binks and the entire Gungan species. Not likely but we are going to kick things off with a Gungan Sub anyway. So much for trying. Maybe it is good to get things off [...]
There has been a lot posted online this week about Disney’s purchase of Star Wars. My thoughts as a Star Wars fan and someone that owns more than a few pieces of Star Wars memorabilia? There is no way that they can F things up any worse than Jar Jar Binks. I really look forward to more movies and hopefully a step away from the existing characters into something new and different. Regardless – I get the feeling we are [...]
Congrats to our own BobG for completing the Marine Corps Marathon with a person record on both time and complaining. Seriously – it is a big accomplishment to cross the finish line and bigger one to feel good about result when you do. Hit the jump to see his new hardware. This is why he wasn’t participating in the Monster Dash and more importantly why he wasn’t drinking $1 beers post race.
Everyone has a done a parody of this one by now. From Tampa Bay to the Oregon Ducks. It’s probably not too late to lip sync Call me Maybe and probably more àpropos. You know – given the hockey situation and all.
