Twelve Bones Smokehouse

Folks in Asheville love their ribs and the best place

to eat the best ribs is at Twelve Bones Smokehouse in the River Arts District.

If you don't believe me ask Obama.  Yes, THE President himself.  The

last time he visited Asheville his first stop after getting off

Air Force One was, yup, Twelve Bones.

This place has it all..their food is delicious.

Check it out...Obama has -  twice.

Two Beauties Sizing Up Each Other

The Peacock

Pretty bird, Oh pretty bird

You walk like a chicken

And crow like a cat!
Pretty bird, Oh how lovely

You'll sit on my roof

And run from the dog!

Pretty Bird, Come eat from mine hand

Don't perch on the porch

Your poop's on the ground!

Pretty Bird, Silly bird

A tail five feet long

And a head with a fan!

Pretty Bird, Strut your stuff

Waddle around and shake like a jerk

Your feathers are grey underneath all the eyes

And your neck is blue and turquoise too!

Your eyes are black like cold dumb coal
Surrounded by black and white like two fish in a pot!

Come listen to my music or perch on my fence

You are a silly bird, I'll tell you again

Pretty Bird, Oh pretty bird

You walk like a chicken

And crow like a cat!

USS North Carolina

A visit to the USS North Carolina in Wilmington, NC

is well worth the time...It is an education in

ships, sailors and history.

Green Architecture

An extreme example of nature gone amok..the vines are pulling the

windows loose and the hum of bees on the blossoms

is very loud...



Nantahala Outdoor Center

Nanthala, from the Cherokee language , means "Land of the Noonday Sun."

The Nanthala River runs through a narrow gorge and at certain

spots the sun reaches the ground at noon only.  Hence its name..

The river is very popular with kayakers and the Nantahala Oudoor

Center is a great place to visit.
