After 3 years living in a "non-aligned" country, I am moving my little tribe back to the USof A. We bought our house and sent off the papers for my wife's visa today. With any luck, I should be buying my new shop in about 4 months. Look out North Carolina, Johnnie is marching home.

Which "non-aligned" country might that be?
Welcome back to God's Country. Where in North Carolina?
The song, however, was definitely "aligned" - to the North!
Might want to look up the lyrics to "Dixie" if the pressure groups still allow it to be played.

Better brush up on what's been going on in NASCAR if you're going to be living in NC. My cousin in Raleigh tells me that they teach their children to count this way: One, two, Earnhardt....

Congrats, John!! If you were going to be closer to the left coast, we could get together and swap Aussie jokes.. *g*
Uhh, he said N.C., not Wisconsin... :)
Never been to NZ, but from the pictures I've seen it could give NC a handicap and still be the winner for that title :-).
And NC is a pretty state.
Precisely.
I was thinking the same thing.

I'm not sure, with the "non-aligned" he could be meaning California.
In any event, North Carolina isn't a bad place to be. Jeez, I've been here 25 years already. Damn. And they still call me a Yankee. LMAO

I've been in that part of the world. He obviously meant NC.

Well, just don't come here in Winter, is all. During summer, Wisconsin is right pleasant. Last year, Patrick, it was July
5th through the 7th, wasn't it?Dave Hinz
Sorry. I even have the T-Shirt with the caption "God's area code is 906" and the proper outline....
After only 25 years, you're lucky they don't call you a Damned Yankee.
Fergit? Hell!
What a wonderful bit of insight! (and possibly a really good /triple/ entendre [not to find fault or anything])
Don't feel bad. I'm originally from Georgia; and they still make me "re-qualify" when I go back to visit.
BTW, yankeehood doesn't normally wear off and there's no known cure. (-8
Actually, NC is a really /good/ place. Unlike most of Iowa, NC actually has real live forests (with trees and everything!)
Strange thing for me to latch onto - but I remember being able to buy milk in North Carolina stores that was richer than I ever found in any other part of the country, including the "Dairy State."
I thought New Zealand was aligned kind of Southwest to Northeast

Nah, I fit in right well. I'm the Yankee version of a good ol' boy.
