Hey All,

Dark invited me over. He's encouraged me in my recovery so here I am.

I lived on LBI for 40 yrs but have been here in Raleigh for the last 10. Living inland, I miss striper fishing (used to hit the surf about every dawn and dusk during the runs for 30 of those 40 yrs.) but have gotten into predator hunting. Which is why these days I mostly inhabit a couple of NC hunting websites, nchuntnfish and northcarolinapha.

But my first and best love was surf fishing so I thought I'd stop by now and then and see how you all are doing.

On another note, the new supermarket near my office has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of distant thunder and the smell of fresh rain.



When you approach the milk cases you hear cows mooing and witness the scent of fresh hay.



When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying.



The veggie department features the smell of fresh buttered corn.



I don't buy toilet paper there any more.
