Ok, gotta break sorta-blogless-Sunday, but this is too good to ignore North Carolina’s shallow coastal waterways see a steady stream of traffic from fishing boats, tour trips and outdoor enthusiasts.

Yes, I know, it is mostly Blogless Sunday. And, I had a great billboard picture I took that I was going to put up, will have to wait for tommorrow morning. This one has been bugging me, regarding the NC Bill to allow the children of illegal immigrants to not only be allowed to go […]

What a shame, some of NC’s Congress Critters as well as illegal "immigrant" groups have received mail with harsh language. While I do not condone this, they have in fact brought it on themselves.
