"Do NOT buy a phone in-store. You're getting overcharged by as much as 80%. You can get the same phone with a Verizon plan from Costco, or amazonwireless.com. Don't let them convince you otherwise!"

"Good, structurally sound larger pieces, and the birdhouses are pretty intricate."

"Tasty southern fried chicken with cheddar grits and okra. Eat your heart out, KFC."

"Gastronomic success in the mountains! Sweet Onion made for a great ending to a long day of driving. Everything was well seasoned. The fried chicken was great, save for the breast, which was a bit dry."

"So. Incredibly. Slow. Call ahead."
