[AT] OT: A chance to show off the place I call home

[charlie hill]

Hi Mike,  Thanks.  It's home to me but it is a special place.  Sometimes us 
locals forget I guess.

Rutherfordton is a good bit to the west of me.  I don't remember precisely 
where it is but it's something between 3 and 5 hours from here.   I'm not 
sure I've ever been there although I'm familiar with the that part of the 
state.

No that's not my yacht.  LOL.  Yachts in the 30 to 80 foot range are pretty 
common here.  You don't see too many much larger than that but there are 
some.  Hatteras Yachts are manufactured here, about 2 miles up stream from 
that development site and there are several small boat building firms in the 
area.  If you watched the whole video you see the developer running around 
in what looks like an old Chris Craft or Century.  It's actually a modern 
reproduction with some huge engines.  I see him pass by on the river now and 
then.  Actually hear him first.  I don't know the guy but it's a small town. 
I suspect that sooner or later I'll run into him somewhere.

Charlie
