THERE ARE QUITE A FEW WATCH PARTIES PLANNED IN AND AROUND COOK’S FORMER HOME, AND THAT INCLUDES ONE AT NORTH CAROLINA STATE, ANOTHER AT THE NORTH CAROLINA MUSEUM OF NATURAL SCIENCES.

THERE’S A LOT OF EXCITEMENT HERE FOR SURE.

WORK, MY FRIEND, BUT THE WORK CONTINUES BECAUSE IT’S COLD OUT THERE THIS MORNING. INDEED. YEAH, THE WORK CONTINUED YESTERDAY TO TRYING TO CLEAR MY DRIVEWAY ALL DAY. IT WAS FUN TOO. I NOTICED THOUGH, THAT AND JUST TO KIND OF PICK UP WHERE WE LEFT OFF WITH THE INTERVIEW IS THAT THE ROADS MAIN ROADS WERE IN REMARKABLY GOOD SHAPE. I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE WHAT KIND OF SHAPE IT WAS A SITUATION. IF YOU CAN GET OUT OF YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU MAY BE IN GOOD SHAPE, BUT THERE’S A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
