Your "yard dogs" wouldn't be much good in Patrick Co, Virginia. When we were down last week we saw a Great Horned Owl at the side of the road with dinner.....'possum! He got nervous when we shined the lights on him, and he took off with the 'possum in his talons.

I love that neck of the woods. I have spent a good bit of time fishing a wild trout stream up in the sticks in Franklin County. Now you know, if you're a mountain person from those parts, the correct pronunciation is 'Padrick County".

what restaurant ? dont be surprised you see me come in there one day or evening depending on if i go back to snow hill again to visit some people at a gospel radio station

some people dont know pepsi was born in new bern
back in the 70s there was a country store on route 70 coming from new bern to havelock on the right side that had a old old kicking machine that you put a .025 cents into the slot it would give you a good kick cause it had boots on its stems so we named it the kicking machine

sams club is there also in ayden area bad when you have to drive over 50 miles to a sams club
thats why i did not renew my card with them for cause of the distance to travel

Ah yes. Tom Haywood's store. I tried that kicking machine once, and it packed a whallop. Had a sign on it that said 'Self Kicking machine', or 'Self Kicking Club'.

Sounds like you've been around these parts a while.

My dad was transferred here with Weyerhaeuser in 1974. I went to New Bern High School my senior year only. Jimmy Smith, the physics teacher, spent all his time teaching in class talking about the birthplace of Pepsi, and other stuff about New Bern's history. Then, his tests were on stuff like college level physics.

Ever heard of a place in James City, on the river, called Conn's Mansion? It dated back to the pre-Civil War days, and had a separate building with bars on the windows for their slave quarters. Nice folks, eh? NOT. The house was all boarded up when I saw it, but someone lived there until about the early Seventies, I believe.

 

[lovetheoutdoors]
