Tarheel Tavern!

The new phone book's here! The new phone book's here!

Oh wait. That's not it. It's the Tarheel Tavern! Hooray, that's even better!

The Tarheel Tavern is a weekly round up of posts from and about North Carolina. Nearly all participants are blogging from within North Carolina, but anyone who blogs about North Carolina can play, too.

If you missed this week's submission, be sure to submit, play, and read Pratie's Place next week -- where you'll find the Tavern. And if you missed last week, the Tavern was at Anonymoses.

They're just good reading each and every week, so be sure and check them out -- it's not one narrow topic, you find posts about all sorts of different things in there -- as you're about to see:

First up is Melinama posting at Pratie's Place with free music! Yes, there's no need to head to napster, frapster, kazoo, or anywhere else to try and steal your music, there's a whole series over there completely free!

And don't forget to go back often, as she says she's going to post an entire series of good music from now until Christmas Day!

Next, a Scientific Individual from Moomin Light is way too busy to be spending time blogging. So she provides us with Buy Local/Buy Independent -- a post that's particularly timely since she's off shopping at the moment!

Ron, who never seems to miss a week, provides Happy Holidays, Dammit! for your reading pleasure. This post gives a slightly different view on the yearly battle on what words are the "correct" words to say, come December.

If you get a chance, head on over there and read Ron. I don't always agree with him, and I never get over there and visit NEAR enough, but there's some darn good writing going on there! Why are you still here and not there reading?

Jude has been very, very busy with some quite serious real-life issues (don't you hate when that gets in the way of blogging?). But she still finds time to provide O Come, O Come Emmanuel . It's a nice, long, thoughtful, powerful post about the Holiday season. Read it.

Colonel Corn gives us an awesome photo series about the weather in Boone, NC. If you're anywhere else in the world and you want to see what these so-called "ice storms" look like up close, take a peek. It's nothing like snowstorms.

Next up, local pirate William Teach, talks about a very hot topic these days, including here in North Carolina -- The Death Penalty. Good, factual information there if you're interested. If that's too depressing for you, he's also working on his own series -- The Pirate's 12 Days of Christmas.

Our last entry this week is provided by Bora, the primary driving power behind this whole Tarheel Tavern thingy. This week Bora couldn't decide what to send, and he asked me to pick one. When I headed over to the page, it was immediately clear which post should be linked.

This one. How could you not end a TAVERN with cow-tipping -- mathematically!!

So, that's it for this week's Tavern. If I included you and have a broken link, email me and I'll fix it asap. If I missed your post, send it along and I'll add it -- it wasn't intentional, I assure you. Hope you go read every single one of those posts because they're all good (and the writers want to you read them!)
