Naomi had warned us to be quiet in the a.m. so Barbara could sleep. So, in the morning, Lisa and I were whispering in the kitchen, "Shh, we've got to be quiet," when a big ole rooster came up on the porch and shouted right in. We've laughed three times about it today.

Naomi and Lisa made a bunch of pancakes and Barb gave us a big bag of veggies from her garden. The house was even more beautiful in the daylight.

Whirligig is a word that Vollis Simpson says he did not make up, but that other people came up with. I walked up the sandy road next to his whirligig farm in NC, and thought about the cotton fields and the tin-roofed homes and the history of this place that I don't even know. What a wonder that this big place is one country.

We made it to an RV park in - man, I don't know. Was it South Carolina or North?
This was the day I realized I have no idea what day it is anymore. There is only the city. I think I'd made several business-type calls, wondering why no one was answering or calling me back, before I realized it was Saturday.
Saturday to everyone else, Raleighday for The 1 Second Film crew.

Our stop at Peidmont Biofuels in Raleigh was awesome. This company's pump is located at a business called Larry's Beans. We pulled up and it was like a party. All the people that work at this coffee company came out, and Larry became a producer and donated a bunch of coffee to our road trip. Lot's of coffee drinking and picture taking.
