Driving from Charlotte to Asheville, North Carolina
Friday, July 27th 2018 - Landed in Charlotte, North Carolina, rented a Toyota Corolla and drove up to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville. Took I-85 from Charlotte Douglas International and connected up with US-74 West near Gastonia. Drove for a while before merging on I-26 West towards Asheville and onto the Biltmore Estate grounds. After entering the estate, drove around until we arrived at the Village Hotel. Decent traffic, uneventful drive. Should have rented a Camaro or Challenger, but didn't know Budget rental cars offered them at CLT.

Lady Bird's Whistle Stop: Charlotte, NC: 10/7/64, 11:50 AM.
You are listening to a White House Communications Agency sound recording from Lady Bird Johnson’s Whistle Stop Tour across the South in October 1964, made available on YouTube with a slideshow of photos from her trip by the LBJ Presidential Library in Austin, TX. We hope you enjoy it.
About Lady Bird’s Whistle Stop:
Three months after the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, President and Lady Bird Johnson turned their attention to the upcoming election. While LBJ was key to helping the Democratic ticket carry the South in 1960, many Southerners were angry about the civil rights legislation. Lady Bird knew she knew she would face hostile crowds, but she wanted to carry their message to Southerners and express the Johnsons’ pride in that part of the country.
As aide Liz Carpenter said later, “Our star attraction was a Southern-bred First Lady. We were supposed to blow kisses and spread love through eight states and make them like it….”
Lady Bird’s Whistle Stop campaign tour journey began in Washington, D. C., on October 6, continued for four days through eight states, totaled 1,682 miles, and stopped in 28 cities, with ending in New Orleans on October 9, 1964. Lady Bird, her daughters Lynda and Luci, 100 or so members of the press, and more than a dozen white-gloved ‘hostesses” rode aboard the un-air-conditioned Lady Bird Special.
Hospitality committees along the route gave out pennants, buttons, and other small campaign material for visitors aboard the Lady Bird Special and the crowds gathered to see Lady Bird. In the dining car, in another nod to Southern hospitality, guests were treated to specialty dishes from each state along the route: Virginia ham, North Carolina BBQ, Georgia pecan pie, and Louisiana shrimp creole were among the choices.
In addition to the hospitality committees, travelers and dignitaries from the states could also visit with the Masters of Ceremonies, Congressman Hale Boggs and Luther Hodges, depending on which leg of the journey they were on board. The Masters of Ceremonies were also responsible for introducing Mrs. Johnson and her daughters to the crowds at each of the stops.

700 Pound Snake Pulled out of Lake in North Carolina
Giant 700 pound snake caught in lake in Proctor, North Carolina. The giant man eating python was measured at 98 feet long. Police were contacted to see if there have been any recently filed missing person reports as a snake this big could have surely eaten a human.
This giant snake is massive and just gorgeous, but it didn't take long to find out that the STORY behind it... was fake, just another hoax.
While the image is indeed real, I think the size of the giant snake could have been exaggerated due to the camera angle
Nevertheless, this snake is still huge, but where did it come from? The markings on it's skin looks similar to that of a reticulated python native to Southeast Asia. After playing around with a little Google translate, the mystery was finally solved.
This giant python came from Indonesia and after some rough translating, it turns out that it was discovered this last Thanksgiving near the village of Belinyu City. It was found by accident by a group of construction workers who severely injured the reptile while knocking down a large dead tree in which the python was sleeping inside of. The workers put the dying snake out of it's misery and buried it.
It's sad to see such an incredible animal killed, especially one that could have been a new world record size. I wish there were more pictures so we could get a better idea of just how large it was.
I really enjoyed learning about this amazing snake, if you guys have any cool wildlife stories or interesting animals that you think I might enjoy, tell me about it on Facebook

Black cowboys: Creole trail rides showcase growing culture
Picture a cowboy. You'll probably think of young men with wide-brimmed hats and spurred boots riding through a dusty frontier town. You probably don’t picture thousands of mostly black men and women riding through rural east Texas, blasting country and rap music.
Yet that's what descended on Columbus, Texas, this August. The gatherings, known as Creole trail rides, are growing increasingly popular across the U.S. Part horse-riding, part rodeo, and part dancing to zydeco, trail rides are rooted in the often overlooked history of black cowboys in the American west. And today, these rides also serve to build up the black community.
Follow us down the 10-mile trail to experience this unique culture, and a different image of the iconic cowboy.

...word on the street (ie: what the folks are saying)...
...ultra downtuned blues, attitude, massive stoner riffs, powerful vocals...
...sounds like one wacky sandwich: the bread made of whole grain Soundgarden dipped in a bucket of bayou muck; the filling tasting of Clutch on a particularly heavy acid trip...
...it's like sludge if sludge went to therapy and started the long process of making peace with itself...
...Backwoods Payback have a shot of punk rock energy running through its 70s stoner riffs, as if the band is more used to salmdancing than head-nodding...
...scariest band name ever...

Queen & Slim - Official Trailer
Queen & Slim - In Theaters November
Listen to the Queen & Slim playlist on Spotify:
From trailblazing, Emmy-winning writer Lena Waithe (Netflix’s Master of None) and Melina Matsoukas, the visionary director of some of this generation’s most powerful pop-culture experiences, including Beyonce’s “Formation” and the Nike “Equality” campaign, comes Makeready’s unflinching new drama, Queen & Slim.
While on a forgettable first date together in Ohio, a black man (Get Out’s Daniel Kaluuya) and a black woman (Jodie Turner-Smith, in her first starring feature-film role), are pulled over for a minor traffic infraction. The situation escalates, with sudden and tragic results, when the man kills the police officer in self-defense. Terrified and in fear for their lives, the man, a retail employee, and the woman, a criminal defense lawyer, are forced to go on the run. But the incident is captured on video and goes viral, and the couple unwittingly become a symbol of trauma, terror, grief and pain for people across the country.
As they drive, these two unlikely fugitives will discover themselves and each other in the most dire and desperate of circumstances, and will forge a deep and powerful love that will reveal their shared humanity and shape the rest of their lives.
Joining a legacy of films such as Bonnie and Clyde and Thelma & Louise, Queen & Slim is a powerful, consciousness-raising love story that confronts the staggering human toll of racism and the life-shattering price of violence.
Waithe wrote the script based on an original idea by bestselling author James Frey (A Million Little Pieces, Katerina). The feature-film directorial debut from Melina Matsoukas (executive producer of HBO’s Insecure) stars Academy Award® nominee Daniel Kaluuya as “Slim” and rising star Jodie Turner-Smith (Syfy’s Nightflyers), as “Queen.”
Waithe produces the film via her company, Hillman Grad Productions, along with Matsoukas via her production company, De La Revolución Films. Frey produces via his production company, 3BlackDot, alongside Andrew Coles and Michelle Knudsen.
Queen & Slim is financed by Makeready and will be distributed by Universal Pictures worldwide, with eOne handling distribution in select territories including the U.K. and Canada.
