Migrate old posts to a new home.  Moving content from one site to another is certainly harder than it should be.  At least now I have it in Draft using Markdown.  Further migrations should not be difficult. Click the picture or this link for a look at my efforts.  http://ow.ly/tqxHx

Thanks for the on target weather forecasts

My thanks go out to all the weather people who got this storm right so far and the school officials who believed them.  For more on why southern snow is often not anything like northern snow, click the picture or this link:  http://ow.ly/t2Am8

Our new book, 100 Pictures, 1000 Words, A Crystal Coast Year

If the cold weather is getting you down, try spending some time with 100 of my favorite images of North Carolina’s Crystal Coast.  It is much harder than you think to come up with the best images of such a scenic area.  That is specially true when you take over 40,000 pictures a year.  Click this link or the image of the cover to sample our book.  It is a Kindle book, but as this page explains, Kindle reader software works on anything.

Need some distance between you and the holidays?

That might especially be the case if you live in the DC area.  Try leaving about 1 AM tonight and you might miss the traffic.

If you are going to battle the traffic, make it worthwhile and escape to our beaches, even this time of year they are hard to beat.  For more thoughts click the picture or this link:  http://ow.ly/rZcIU

The great fall makes winter look okay

We have enjoyed a wonder fall.  Winter appears to be on track,  but we have some nice weather on tap along the Southern Outer Banks before the New Year.  For more information click the link or the picture.  http://ow.ly/rRVrb
