<VV> 2005 Convention: Portland

[kaczmarek@charter.net]

Hi Craig

Distance and direction is, as you mention, all relative.


I once drove with the family from New Orleans to Charlotte to visit my Navy pals who lived there (1987). 

One of my friends told me, "you're in the South now"

I told him that I had driven NORTH for 14 hours to reach him. And 3 hours east as well....

Hell, as a born and bred Yankee, I thought that NC and VA were "Border States" during what is called in these parts either

"the Late Unpleasantness" 
or "The War Of Southern Independence"
