Thanks much appreciated. I would like to go to Ross Park Mall but have been putting it off because of my dreaded experience with 279 North. Isn't it backed up on the weekends as well?

Yeah, I was called a Yankee in NC too, at a time when I'd never spent more than a straight week north of the Mason-Dixon line in my life. I think it was just because I didn't talk like I came from the trailer park.
I was always like, "What's a Yankee? I'm from Arizona. We were part of Mexico in 1865!"
They never knew how to deal with that. |

I once tried to teach a coworker how to do foreign collections, back when I worked at the bank -- and was flummoxed by her insistence that London was in France. At first I thought she was joking -- then I thought I stepped into the Twilight Zone.
Her reasoning? The jump rope rhyme -- "I see London, I see France, I see Julie's underpants." |
