Sorry, Tanner.  I can't do Raleigh.  While I would love to support  
Scott's establishment, I simply cannot afford the $150.00 in gasoline  
and hour-plus drive each way to enjoy some nice beers.  People can  
barely corral me into driving into Carrboro/Chapel Hill to join them  
for a drink these days.

It may sounds ridiculous to state that it would take $150.00 USD of  
gasoline to get to Raleigh and back, but I'm living in the dark,  
shadowy suburbs of Burlington now and Raleigh is like 95 miles away.   
I *have* to go to Raleigh once a month for work and they are PAYING  
ME to do so (a very meager payment, I assure you).

Also, I have a unique way of supporting the troops and our national  
security policy.  For each gallon of gas I pump into my Hummer H1  
Alpha, I also pour two gallons into the nearby gas station trash  
can.  This helps me never forget what George Bush's friends (the  
Saudi Arabians) did to us on 9/11.

Yay America!!  Support the Crusade!!
