A Random Connection......

If you look at the bottom of my page, on the right hand side, there is a live traffic feed. So basically I can see where you all are coming from, though I can't tell what sites. I can just see cities. Well, my random connection is this:

I saw for the first time a visit from someone in Benson, NC, a few days ago. My brother's name is Benson. Yes, named for Benson, NC. My grandfather was from Benson. He lived on a small tobacco farm that my family still owns. The federal government bought a huge track of land from him to build I-40 years ago. (Isn't it I-40? If it isn't, correct me.) Anyway, my mom knew she wanted a boy named Ben. She wanted Benjamin, after her cousin, but for whatever reason, my dad didn't want Benjamin. So they settled on Benson, after the town my grandfather grew up in! We still regulary go to Dunn for family reunions, though we haven't been in a year. And apparently my last time is pretty common in NC, thought not at all in SC. There are several businesses that share my last name up there. A TV repair shop and a few other things. Or at least common in that area.

Small world! I hope the Benson visitor comes back! I don't know who comes from where, but I can generally figure out which bloggers come from which locations. Benson threw me for a loop, though, but I was pleasantly surprised!

And all you Wolfpackers.....it's on this weekend! I am a Clemson grad!

(If you're curious, Granddaddy was a Tarheel! Don't know what year. I know some of you won't like that and some of you will!!)

Keep the visits coming!
