I warned you that I would be providing you interesting information about SC! I think it is so cool how the state has different named regions, and that is really how people refer to various locations. We live in the "Upcountry" or the "Upstate." We used to live in the "Pee Dee Country" when we lived in Florence in 2000. Where we live in the "Upstate" is off of I-385, which is referred to as the "Golden Strip." Sounds a little like downtown Las Vegas to me, but I assure you there is no XXX places or casinos!
So, when we watch our local weather during the news we get 2 forecasts...one for the "upstate" and one for the "mountains." And there is quite a difference so I have to pay attention to what they are talking about. Interesting, huh? Yesterday evening they mentioned on the news that there was a tornado warning just north of us...and that was it! I am used to KC's Gary Lezak being on for an hour or so tracking the tornado, telling us what time it will be where, listening to the storm spotter guys and watching the sky tracker helicopter talk about the clouds. Nope, not here. Just a mention and then they moved on to something else. I didn't miss the drama, but I did wonder where it was going especially without basements and tornado sirens!
Well...there is your lesson for the day. We finally get our kitchen table and chairs delivered tomorrow! Yeah for progress!
