I would feel horrible to think I had put my name on a pistol permit and allowed someone to carry around a gun and they committed another crime.

I have this pet thing about how global communications are moving so fast now, throwing information at you, making everything available to you, and yet I feel it's leaving us more and more isolated.

I don't think there's anything that can prepare them, really. You've got to be there. You've got to feel it.

In North Carolina the only burning that is allowed is vegetation that is growing on a lot where the permit applies. Residents are not permitted to burn garbage or other vegetation brought in from another area.

I don't think I even touched it, ... Unless they saw something I didn't feel, I can't say I touched it.

What better gratification than seeing that you allowed someone to carry on with their lives, that you made a difference,
