Mr Eisele does seem to like Murphy. Unlike you and I, he will never be able to claim kinship with just about everyone in the county. Murphy is one of the top seven places in the US for people owning second homes. They stay there in the summer, but the rest of the year, they head back North or elsewhere. In the words of Hank Williams...I'm going to tuck my troubles underneath my arm and scat on back to my pappy's farm.

I remain your friend and kinsman..( sounds like an old time North Carolina boy, doesn't it? )

James.
