Hello all, this is Dyl writing: 

Now Micah, the little rascal, kinda exaggerated me nearly fainting!  Although I admit I did (almost), but I'm fine now.  Thanks to God all I needed was some rest right. 

On our way to SC we stopped at a Tobacco Museum - Washington Duke's Homestead (mom comment: the founding family of the American Tobacco Company and Duke University).   I learned that the Duke family bought the rights to an automatic cigarette rolling machine, but they also made sure that the inventor lowered their payments (mom comment: 'royalties') every time the competition bought the same machine.  Somehow this made them LOTS of money (mom comment: until the government passed anti-trust laws)!

And that golden leaf tobacco (a special way of making tobacco) was actually found out by an accident.  A slave that fell asleep on the job. Ingenious!

Well, we are at the Hyatts and all is well right now see ya!
