Paving in Fallston

They're repaving N.C. 18 in Fallston. Its a minor inconvience now, but the road will be much nicer when crews finish.

No time for lunch?

Evidently people are voting instead of eating. Sub Station II was practically deserted at lunchtime.

Gas for $2.19 a gallon!

I drove through Shelby and upper Cleveland County on Saturday morning. The cheapest gas around was $2.37. The price in Catawba County was $2.25. Sunday evening, I bought gas in Hickory at $2.19 a gallon. I can't remember prices being this low in a long time (even though they're higher here than they are two counties over).

I took a photo with my cell phone camera to prove it.
