    Trash on the beach at Topsail

    This large piece of trash has been on the beach at Topsail for a couple of days now, and the ranger had to drive around it several times. It had been floating and finally washed up. Is there some reason the Ranger can't pick it up and put it in his ATV? Which also brings up another point of...

    need pressure wash for home

    http://www.30apowerwash.com/ They do good work at a reasonable price. We asked a Sowal advertiser to give us a bid which came in around $2000 for our comparatively modest wood frame house in Rosemary Beach. 30a Powerwash did it for $500. We were happy with the work. They did our church as well.

    Rosemary Beach Activity

    Bahrani Royalty? Not according to the Bilderberg website. The 2013 meeting was held in June in England. I'm told that it is Bahrani royalty, who booked the the entire Pearl hotel. There is a rumor that guests of the hotel and restaurant were asked to leave last night upon their check in. We...

    The parking lot that is 331 North

    OMG! Glad I'm not going north on 331 this AM. It was backed up from Chat Holley to 98, and 98 West bound was stopped half way to 283. I wouldn't be surprised if it was bumper to bumper on the Clyde Wells bridge. If you're gonna leave on Saturdays you better get out EARLY. :shock:(NOT!)

    Local Credit Card Scam

    Happened to me at the Walmart in PCB. Sounds like someone is cruising the area with a RFID reader and skimming card numbers to clone. I bought an Aluma wallet (metal) to keep all my cards in and only pull it out at the register, and put it away immediately. So far so good. An empty Altoids...

    SoCal, SoWal, Hey - It's a beach!

    Too bad it's right next to a nuclear power plant, a major interstate freeway (I-5) a railroad track and one of the largest military bases in the world (Camp Pendleton). Other than that, it's a great beach!!!

    Geologists Out There? What is this "rock"?

    Looks a little shiny for peat. It looks kind of like obsidian, though the presence of volcanic glass here might be pretty rare.

    Hi, if you end up bringing those books with you I suggest donating them to the Friends of the Coastal Branch Library. We have used book sales 3 times a year to help support our library, which lost it's funding for books and materials due to the terrible economy. We sell the hardbacks for 1$ and...

    Walton Library Funding or Lack There of

    Staff is and has been at a minimum - in fact below minimum because of previous years budget constraints. The Saturday closings are in an effort to cut down on building costs. Whether it is effective remains to be seen, and it isn't set in stone at this point. No staff or staff hours were cut...

    Crazy dog question

    Warbles? They could be warbles - the larvae of flies that lay eggs on weak or very young animals. It develops as a lump on the skin with a hole in the middle where the larva pops out for air. If so, these should be surgically removed by a vet as soon as possible. You should have China...

    Found our stuff...

    A while ago I reported that someone stole stuff from our car during the night in Rosemary Beach. RB security found most of it in the bushes a few doors down from the house. Did you know that new owner's manuals cost 80 bucks? Kudos to RB security. Thanks:clap:

    Sea Turtle Swimming Near Seagrove on Sunday

    Thanks for the great video! A couple of weeks ago hubby and I were on the beach at Rosemary and saw a green turtle struggling in the thick June grass almost on shore. He appeared to be in real distress. I was able to pick him up easily, so we took him out to a clear space in the water and...
