55 gallon drum.

bet it was a couple of homeless people trying to stay warm.

10/18/2006 12:46:34 PM

are there homeless people in apex?

10/18/2006 12:50:25 PM

i don't think i ever saw one homeless person when i lived there.



the cops would have followed him and found some assinine law he broke---they have nothing else to do asside from handing out tickets for 3 over the speed limit

10/18/2006 12:51:45 PM

I don't know if she is homeless, but there is this fat pygmy woman who always approaches people and says her mother just died and she needs gas money to go to Goldsboro. She's been pulling that for a few years now. This lady smells absolutely wretched if she gets within 10 feet of you.

She's more around Holly Springs though.

eh...it's what I'm craving at the moment. if you like the bifteki and go in for lunch, ask nick (the chef during the day) to make it on a dill bun with cheese, tomato, onion and a little of the homemade tartar sauce they give with the calamarakia. soooo good.

Ha. I was once "lucky" enough to get by on a warning in a very similar situation.

Officer: Do you know how fast you were driving?
Me: About 57 (in a 55).
Officer: Well I'm just going to give you a warning this time blah blah.

Guilford County cops are the worst.

Back on topic...

They should totally rebuild the plant.

yeah so back to the story, lol...

NO BIG DEAL

-Same plant as before
-One localized 55-gallon drum (which is outisde the building and in the open) on fire emitting some noxious, white smoke
-Some nearby businesses evacuated, but no residents evacuated and the Apex Mayor doesn't anticipate any other evacuations

So, what is the over/under on how long it will take someone to sue over how the latest explosion made their house decrease in value because the whole nation now knows not to move to Apex.

10/18/2006 1:24:54 PM

rain + magnesium and sodium = awesome
