The balancing act with rain on the Crystal Coast

A coastal community like ours has to have a balancing act with rain. We need unshine for our tourists and rain for our farmers. Week of July 4th worked out great for everyone.  It started with rain, but the rest of the week has been spectacular.  Click the picture or the link for more details  http://ow.ly/mIACq

I Am Hooked On Google+ Communities

Communities are big reason I’m growing fond of Google+  but there are several other reasons that I am giving Google+ more of my bandwidth. #google Read my article at ReadWriteWeb http://ow.ly/mtnQB or even better if you are a Google+ user and interested in North Carolina’s Crystal Coast visit my Crystal Coast Community on Google+.

Out of options for Dad’s Present?

Give him “A Week At The Beach,” he can dream of fishing and walking in the surf  http://ow.ly/m57mx  Even better than that, go for a walk with your dad along the beach or see if he needs a kayaking partner.  If he doesn’t have a tablet for reading a Kindle book, maybe now is the time.
