Krispy Kreme Challenge 2012
[singlepic id=7291 w=320 h=240 float=right]The premise sounds simple - run from the belltower at NC State to the Krispy Kreme eat a dozen doughnuts and return in under an hour. Approximate distance 5 miles give or take. This isn't the first time we're been to or participated in the challenge and while it is much harder than it sounds - it is likely the most fun race in Raleigh. Congrats to Mark, EdG, Eileen/iLean, BobG 11.75, Zach, Nick, Lisa, Bentley, the rest of the DC crew and anyone else I may have missed that we saw. Special congrats to those runners ...
Rembrandt in America at the NC Museum of Art
The Rembrandt in America exhibit at the NC Museum of Art uses the slogan "You know the name. Now find out why." And much in the same way that I had heard of Genghis Khan I could have told you very little about our other museum guest in the city. Namely he may have been French (not true) and he didn't have a Ninja Turtle named after him (this one is true). Rembrandt in America is the largest collection of Rembrandt paintings ever presented in an American exhibition and the first major exhibition to explore in depth the collecting history of ...
Genghis Khan at NC Museum of Natural Sciences
[singlepic id=7209 w=320 h=240 float=right]The name Genghis Khan is probably a familiar one even if you don't know who he was exactly. Before going to the exhibit at the NC Museum of Natural Science I had a very vague idea of who Genghis Khan was and something of a concept of who he was historically but knew very little about the role he played in history. Genghis Khan is famous as the ruthless Mongol warlord who conquered half the known world. Under his rule, the Mongol Empire grew to be four times the size of the Roman Empire at its largest ...

There really isn’t anything that can be said here that the pictures don’t say better. These are images from over the Outer Banks post Hurricane Irene.
I’ll add to the gallery after the jump as he emails the pictures to me. I’ll have to add the photo tags later this evening when I get my feet back on solid ground.
There is no word yet on whether or not Bob will be able to check on Randy and/or whether or not he’ll eat at the Carolina Seafood Buffet.
As a children’s book?
But doesn’t that end badly?
If I remember correctly – yes – it does end badly.
Thanks to BobG for the find. It downloads a little slow so give it time.
Yesterday and the day before we had something rare happen here at NOSVC – we had visitors. A lot of them.
We average somewhere around 35-75 visitors daily and that routinely amazes me. Friday we broke an internal record by passing 250 in a day for the first time. Yesterday we had passed that by 9AM and by noon had passed 500 visitors. Once all visits were counted we hit 1,075 visitors recorded in one day.
Looking into why – most of the traffic was coming in two ways on one image from Google – here and here. From there they looked at Hurricane Irene from Space, Hurricane Irene from Earth and Tasty Beverage Company Opening Soon.
So if you stopped by yesterday you were part of the record crowd. If not you are helping make August a big month by reading this today.
Either way – thanks for stopping by – I am constantly amazed by the traffic that comes to this site and hope you find something here worth your time.
A Prius is a gas/electric hybrid that can roll off the lot costing somewhere between $23k-33k and achieving 51-48MPG fuel efficiency. Generally one would assume that someone who drives a vehicle of this nature as intelligent and aware of the world around them. Then they park under one of the few trees on the street during a storm.
Not like there wasn’t plenty of room to park on the street not under a tree.
Should the tree decide to fall on the car we’ll provide a live breaking news report.
