Todd, that is so cool. You mentioned that your grandad was a furniture maker. Are you in the area of NC that does a lot of furniture making? I have heard NC was a hub for furniture in the 18th and 19th century.

It used to be the center of the furniture making universe. NAFTA took care of that. Now it's vacant buildings and 13% unemployment, and what jobs are there are minimum wage stuff.

My granddad worked for Drexel Heritage for 50 years, started when he was 15 years old. He took pride in what he did, and he made some beautiful furniture. My dad's house is filled with handmade one-off items Granddad made for shows and whatnot.
