Poor man's Cordarrelle Patterson

Anyone low enough to take a shot like this in this situation at someone trying to do all he can to help his local people just isn't needed here anymore.

How far is 19E open? When I was in Spruce Pine last Friday it was shut down at Spruce Pine.

Yeah, I mean don't get me wrong. I feel for those people, I'm not heartless. But at the same time you people have means. You're not in need. If you were trapped in there by deadfall I'm here for you. But coming in from Charlotte to check in on your vacation property? I mean... sorry man, best of luck to you. But I'm here to help people on legit need or I need to go focus on my own stuff.

Bingo

What are they needing? I could go tomorrow

Dropped off a load of goods in Newland. Linked up with Samaritan's Purse and they needed help in a neighborhood that I knew. It's all rich people's vacation homes. I'm like nah, if you have somewhere to go focusing on people's primary residences that they're blocked on or uninhabitable that's what I'm here to do. If the focus is vacation homes I have plenty of poo to do at my own house. They completely understood so I rolled out. I'm going to check in on Black Mountain and Swannanoa tomorrow but honestly it seems like everywhere that's accessible by vehicle has an overabundance of volunteers. If somebody wants to helicopter my ass in with tools to inaccessible places I'll eat a bunch of Dramamine and go but other than that looks like I'm about to shift gears and focus on my own stuff.

I'm headed back to Linville. Gonna try to find an aid station along the way to bring as much as I can but oddly every church I've driven by is doing nothing for their community. A lot of folks still stuck in their houses with no way out and a lot of flooded homes at least needing the saturated sheetrock ripped out. I have my dad coming with his contractor's van with a lot more tools.

You should probably be banned for this. This is shameful. Abysmal. Borderline blasphemous.

That INT he threw late in the 4th was Bryce-esque and then a 4th string WR morphed into prime Smitty. Let's not oversell how great Kirk Cousins is. LOL

That was reminiscent of X Clown. Bucs blow it. LOL

Koo hit it anyway. Sweet! Overtime. This has been a good game.

The Falcons got a delay of game after a spike. LOLOLOL

The Bucs are trying to prevent D the Falcons into FG range.

Oh look, Kirk Cousins blows it in the clutch on primetime again

Thursday night games almost always suck. This game definitely does not suck.

Damn, Baker. That was nice.

I have the next three days available to run a chainsaw, swing a hammer, load helicopters, whatever. Just trying to figure out where I can be of the most use.

Damn.

Can I get there from Morganton? I can come help this weekend if needed.

Media and politicians will do what they do. They've been net negatives for a long time now. They feed off of divisive bullshit. It's their lifeblood.

Yeah, I've heard Swannanoa is bad. Burnsville is probably going to be the worst effected town but the isolated communities up 19 and 80 are probably going to be the worst.

There's posts here and there. The overall track of the thread is fine and refocuses itself just fine. Don't try to start a squabble where there is none.

Honestly I guess the better comp would've been Bull Run at the start of the war. People just had no clue the carnage that was to come. You had caravans of wagons of people riding out to watch the battle like a sporting event evidently completely unaware of the horrors they were going to witness. Sorry, I'm down a rabbit hole. History is just my thing so I end up putting everything into historical perspectives. LOL
