Dang, I thought Herrick and I had sufficiently rumor-ified the coming 
Federalization of Carrboro back on 1/31/2006. We'll try harder next time.

Re: panties -- I bet you can get some really fancy all-weather

I had a yard sale once, when I lived in Carrboro. I suppose now is as 
good a time as any to tell you that I gave all your old MRRs to Dave 
Jiminez at the end of it.
