It's finally summertime

Well, the season has kicked off in high gear. The roads are packed, the restaurants are packed, the merchants are pretty happy. The weather has finally decided to cooperate a bit today, and it is an absolutely beautiful summer day. Not too hot, and not too windy. Perfect beach weather with a slight east breeze. We are all looking forward to a wonderful summer season here on the Outer Banks!

Double rainbow, thunderstorms

Just had a report of a vivid double rainbow showing from the top of the Wash Baum Bridge at the same time as lightening and thunder, and a sunset! Wierd weather, but hey it's just turned summer on the Outer Banks!

Election results

The "unofficial" election results as posted on the Dare County website show:
Virginia Tillett kept her chance at a seat as commissioner, and will now face off with Republican John Robbins in the November election.
Rex Tillett defeated Ray Midgett for the at large commission seat and will face John Jack Shea in the fall election.
The big upset of the night was Max Dutton receiving more votes than incumbent Stan White, for commission seat. Stan is at present the chairman of the commissioners. Max will be unopposed in the fall election.

I hate this weather!

I'm so tired of wind and cool weather! It has been non-stop north or northeast for days and days now. Today was overcast and at times, a heavy mist blowing around that soaked you as much as rain. Looking forward to Wednesday, when it's supposed to go round to the west.
