    Mac while you were star gazing Manny has been putting in hard, productive hours at the gym.

    You will regret this.

    Traffic on I85 is absolutely crazy. People say they've never seen so many cars in their lifetime. Awesome

    Mac was Scotty Pippin with you?

    Austin 2024 is in my wheel house/backyard. I'm going to make plans now.
    I was in SC but I didn't bother checking the motels. Stayed in NC for two nights.

    So much traffic.

    had a bright green spot when i closed my eyes
    small and in the middle. then a floater of purple
    and a yellow spot too. matter of fact it was blue too.
    weird how it changed color but you can't see it change color

    won't do that again
    took about 20 minutes to return to normal.
    The real symptoms of permanent damage actually don't appear until 24 hrs after. Fingers crossed.

    When I say east coast I mean literally the coast, like CHarleston, Georgetown, Myrtle Beach. I hear it was great further inland
