GO DUCKS! Good to know others in the Triangle will recognize the Fighting Duck on the back of my car!
Funny thing happened this past summer. I was in Sneads Ferry NC (small coastal town) visiting a friend and we were at her son's baseball game. The Third Base Coach had a UofO Duck Shirt on. I started singing the UofO Fight Song and he looked at me like how in the world did I know that. Turns out he was a Duck alum too. We Ducks are everywhere.
BTW, Tigerlily, we'll invite you to our Pac 10 parties even though you'll be wearing orange and black.
LOL
Oh, and Splendid, in terms of traffic... some people say traffic in the Triangle is bad. But to be honest the times I was there and searched out rush hour traffic it was nothing like I-5 or hwy 26. It seemed to move (slowly) but not inching and then stopping like 5 or 26. But generally if the roads are wet then you can count on an accident and then you are sitting on the freeway. Kind of like the first fall rains here in Sept.
We have a friend who currently lives in Raleigh and use to live in Portland and he has confirmed my above comparison. The only problem I see is that Portland and Vancouver has a much more extensive mass transient and The Triangle is years behind on this. So in coming years, the traffic there will probably get much worse.
Good luck to all you Northwesterners and safe travels!!
