On this episode, we had a bit of a vent session regarding the absolute nonsense propaganda click-bait being spewed online and in-person about the catastrophic flood damage in our former home of NC.
It's one thing to hear on a daily basis all manner of make-believe and quite frankly BS about any myriad of topics - it's another for this latest distribution of propaganda to be actively harming the people we love.
For those of you that have expressed empathy and support - thank you from the bottom of our hearts. For those of you that continue to spread these false narratives - well you'll know where we stand with that.
Our heartfelt thanks goes out to fellow Tarheels - Mortellus & Byron Ballard for the selfless aid they have been doing since this tragedy unfolded a week ago and to the countless Federal, State and County agencies as well as the large number of civilians who have rendered aid and put themselves in harms way to save lives and rescue the good people of NC during this catastrophic event. That includes our daughter Shanell who has put herself in harms way on multiple occasions to run fuel, to be available for her fellow North Carolinians in need. We love you all.
A special thanks to Chief Tim Barnett of the Beech Mountain Police Department for not only the wellness check he performed but also letting us know our daughter was safe. We appreciate you so very much.
For those of you spewing nonsense propaganda you saw on social media and didn't think to verify before aiding in its distribution... do better.
With love to the hills and to the rebuilding of this sacred area...
