Anyone know what is going on with TWC? We have been out for two days now.
They receive their signal via satellite, and if the dishes ice over, they lose signal, and you lose TV.
It's the same thing they warn you about happening if you switch to DirecTV or Dish. When I lived in Cary, we'd lose TWC every time it rained. We'd call and complain and get the "satellite" story each time.
TW Alexander is one of the major ways of getting out of Brier Creek, if you are heading over to 147 to Durham or 40. Lots of people from the country club use it, or the apartment complexes next to it.
Dogwoods are beautiful and native to North Carolina. It's the state flower of North Carolina. Don't go disparaging dogwoods around these parts! They are in no way comparable to the short-lived stinky ornamental Bradford Pear.

Agreed. Dogwoods are close to royalty, IMO.
I plan to be putting in a Ginkgo Biloba when the Bradford Pear finally falls apart. Been waiting for a few years, and splitting off 2/3 of it in an quick, limited ice storm would be just fine with me.
We have a dogwood in back, understory, with the gorgeous layered branches that seek the sunlight, and last year it bloomed for the first time since we put it in 12 years ago. Beautiful.
I am looking for a place to put another one, but not seeing a place. I like my unmurdered Crape Myrtles that take half the front yard. If I move the ginkgo up closer to the utility easement, I may be able to slip a dogwood in behind it.

Yes they are a very nice tree here. They don't do so well up north.
We took our 2 Labs out because one of them has back/hip problems and she can't easily get over the 2-4 foot drifts in our backyard. But on the road, her back legs were slipping out from underneath her. Two dogs with no leashes and no collars on came running up to us, the owners a block away, indifferent about the stress they were causing, while we tried to keep ours under control standing on ice and snow. Not a fun walk for any of us.

We hoped that ours would fall apart in a storm but that never happened. Limbs just began crashing down. My ILs' Bradford Pear in NY just completely collapsed one day. No such luck here. Finally had it taken down because the crashing limbs were a hazard.

Someone else where I live has veto power over the level of proactivity pursuant to removal of the Bradford Pear, or it would have had a date with a Homelite or Husqvarna years ago.
Actually, it is rather amazing. A third of it dropped out in the 2002 ice storm. There was a second one, and it dropped 2/3 and I had it to the stump in minutes. I got whoa'ed on the survivor, and you can hardly tell that it regenerated over the void.
But, it isn't vigorous anymore, and looks sad. The woodpeckers have girdled it several times.
Die!!!! DIE!!!!
LOL
