Folks it’s that time of year again for our adversaries in Chapel Hill. UNC had another stellar regular season just to come up two wins short of the title. But think of what it must feel like for Roy, Corey or Horace - whatever you want to call him. Horace is the guy on the right. He was on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. Roy looks a lot like Horace if you ask me. He also has the Kansas sticker going for him. He’s caught a lot of flack over that the last several days. I’m sure he’s thinking…15 years and I couldn’t get it done. Bill got her done in 5.

Ok I have to put my 2 cents in about this stinkin weather. When I first saw the snow at work I got excited about it as most normal people do. I remember wondering how much we would get and what I was going to do when I got home. All of these happy thoughts were flowing through my brain as I waited to go to lunch. Needless to say those thoughts evaporated quickly as I made the right turn to get on I-40 as I typically do to drive 2 miles and get some food. It was literally a parking lot and something I have never seen before in all my days so far back and forth to Raleigh. After I spent 2/3 of my lunch hour going 2 miles I was ready to chow down. I made another right into a shopping center off of Harrison Ave, slighty down hill. Mistake. Some imports obviously had never seen snow before let alone drive in it. As they were deciding if they were going to stop or turn right into the gas station with a train of cars behind them Mr. Mustang driver is all over the bumper cause he wants to eat. They stop, I can’t, I give them a love tap. No harm no foul, right? Obviously that’s what they thought too. We went our separate ways and I hit the McDonald’s.

After I get my food and swallow it whole, it’s time for another big decision. Am I going to attempt to exit the shopping center up the hill and let that V8 spin the cuss out of my tires and look like an idiot in front of everyone? I think not. So I find an alternate route thinking I have solved the problem. Only problem is it has a hill like the one pictured above. I’m in a worse situation that I would have been choosing plan A. I try to get a running start, but it doesn’t help. Here I go spinning the cuss out of my tires, cars passing me on the left and right side of a one lane road. My stomach is now in knots wondering what I’m going to do if I don’t get up this hill. After a little sweat and a lot of spinning, I finally got some grip. I knew the Lord was looking out for me. I drove like an old granny all the way back and I didn’t give a crap who was behind me. I spent over an hour driving a 5 mile round trip to lunch. Unlike most other people stuck on 40 and the beltline for hours, I learned my lesson. I found a different way to the house after work and was watching everybody else stuck in traffic on the 11 o’clock news.
