JULY 28, THURSDAY
Read the paper and had breakfast on the front porch and took a walk on the beach.
July 28th, Thursday.
The appraiser came over and looked at the condo and took a lot of pictures. Before and after he came I worked on Mom's memoirs, making corrections.
Closed the place up (and only left my I-Pad charger and wash cloth and bath towel). I went to the Topsail Beach Town Hall and had the water/garbage bill transferred to my name and then closed out the cable, telephone and wi-fi at Holly Ridge.
Stopped at Paul's Famous Hot Dogs (a family tradition) in Rocky Point, N.C.. Drove back to Goldsboro.
later that night, my brother Bob and I went to the Center Street Jam downtown and saw one of the hottest beach bands around these days, Jim Quick and Coastline, and ate at Torino's Mexican Restaurant. One mighty good steak nachos.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

N.C. Summer 2015 Trip-- Part 4: A Beachin' We Go, National Hot Dog Day, Rainy Days and Hot Dogs
JULY 23, THURSDAY
Made entries to all blogs as getting on the internet at Topsail Beach is hit or miss, usually miss.
On the road and, as usual, stopped by the cemeteries to visit those who have gone on, especially Dad at Willowdale and his parents at Wayne memorial, but we had to get out of there fast because of a huger funeral they were having for a former fire chief in the area. They had two fire trucks with ladders extended and an American flag draped over it.
Took US-117 to I-40 to the exit where we got off and got back on US-117 which we took to Paul's Place Famous Hot Dogs in Rocky Point, N.C. My family has been going there for as long as I remember and even before (opened in 1928).
It was National Hot Dog Day and what better place to celebrate it than atthis place. Meat shortages in WWII caused them to develop one of the best relishes I've ever tasted. Add mustard, onions and serve the hot dog on a moist bun and you have some mighty fine eating.
Took US-17 to NC-50 onto Topsail island, through Surf City and south to Topsail Beach, arriving shortly before a huge storm broke loose.
Three Hot Dogs and Drink for $5.99. --RoadDog
