Since I live in North Carolina I reckon I can give ye an eyewitness account
of what it's like down chere. Let me tell ye ... ya don't want ta
come down this-a-way. Why it's just plain awful. Why tha beaches are
the ugliest things yas ever seen and them outer banks...why they's hardly
a big buildings on them. They's what ye call protected or sumpin'.
No crowded beaches or hotdog stands and T-shirt shops. It's just so
awful I can't go on. And them danged mountains to tha west...why they's
some of tha tallest mountains east of tha Mississippi. Just awful ta
try to climb over. Why in tha world all those people visit the Great
Smokey Mtn. national park I'll never know. You know I heared that it
was the mostest visited park in the confed...er uh U.S.. Just seems
peoples enjoy ugliness. All the parts between tha mountains and the
beaches is just as tarrible... Why tha city yall's is talkin bout ye
know... Greensboro?.....why it is situated in an area that was voted
#1 place to live in the confederacy..oops....er U.S. twice in a row.
I just cain't understand it. And them danged schools ya know like
Duke and Davidson and Wake Forest and UNC and N.C. State ect...
gawd it's tha pits...and if that's not enuff the danged community
college system is second only to Kaliforny...ya know ware's them
communists live....And propurty taxes why they's almost .60 ta tha
100.00. How do ya get ahead in this area? No ye don't want ta come
down this-a-way. The Climate is jest awfull too...why my few-ell bill
last winter must a been $500.00 and this warm weather lasts fer so
long...peoples is golfin year round down chere.Naw ya cain't really
compare MA. to N.C.....I mean jest think 'bout south Boston when
they's was tryin' ta bus them youngens up thar...why they had tha
grandest ole time a throwin stuff an hollerin at each other...we
never could party like thems peoples. Well my fingers is gettin
tarred...I hopes I give ya fare enough warnin' 'bout  N.C. and
the south in general... bye now.:-)!!!

so long,
Dave Schumacher
