    New NC street drug

    I have taken this email very seriously. Was sent out by LT to our entire dept on the company email. Not just a "hey I am bored so here is an interesting story" type of deal.

    I'm still alive... (pearl jam docet)

    North Carolina is a beautiful state...atleast worth a visit. We have several hundred miles of coastline....then you can drive 5 hours west and enjoy the mountains with plenty of snow in the winter. Our summers are warm, winters are cold...and we have the best BBQ in the country.
