My mom is very involved in the Goldsboro Salvation Army Auxilliary, and today, they had a major fund-raiser, the barbeque plate lunch.
I worked there yesterday, arranging flowers from Mom's yard into vases and putting pieces of pound cake and napkins into boxes for companies who ordered plates and into bags for drive ups.
This is some major operation and at one time sold 1800 plates, but that number is decreasing these days because a lot of other organizations have gotten into this fundraising. They have people come in to eat, drive up for pick up and delivery to companies. Any way you want it, you got it.
Today, I spent time out on delivery and dropped off close to a hundred meals. Sure glad the driver knew his way around Goldsboro and had a GPS machine. Some of the business locations were not immediately apparent. One business was a CPA firm, and I came in saying, "Here's tax relief." That got a few laughs. They were quite busy with a whole lot of paper in this increasingly paperless society.
This was a hard deal to beat. A whole meal consisting of drink, dessert, bbq pork, cole slaw, potato salad, and hushpuppies for $6. And, a lot of that goes for a good cause. Wilber's provided the most of the food and gave a good price to the SA as did Pepsi-Cola, a NC creation in nearby New Bern.
If you were to go to Wilber's it would have cost you considerably more.
The number of plates serves today: 1138. Number of helpers: at least 60. Organization: more than you'd expect. Ate Too Much: well, at least one person.
Good eatin' for a Good cause. --RoadDog

Sculpture Not the Only Thing the Tribune Bracketed
Evidently, each day, the Tribune ran a non-sport related bracketology contest over quite a few Chicago-related subjects. I was unable to get the whole fields up, but did get the final two in each category for which readers could vote. I voted as well.
BANDS-- Chicago Synphony Orchestra 50.1% vs. Smashing Pumpkins 49.9%. I voted for CSO. Here, I would have gone with the band Chicago.
NATIVE PLANTS-- Black-eyed Susan 1479 votes vs. wild columbine 919 votes. I voted for black-eyes susan as my gardens are covered with them.
SCULPTURE-- Cloudgate 64.4% vs. Flamingo 35.6%. I. of course, voted for the Bean, but think it SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE LIONS!!!
CHICAGO-RELATED MOVIE-- Blues Brothers 58.1% vs. Ferris Buehler's Day Off 41.9%. I voted Blues Brothers. It is my second all-time favorite movie.
BOOK-- Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" 84.8% vs. Saul Bellow's "The Adventures of Angie Micah" 15.2%. Old illiterate me haven't read either of them, but voted for Sinclair since at least I've heard of it.
CANDY-- Juicy Fruit 46.3% vs. Snickers 53.7%. I voted Juicy Fruit, but would rather have seen Ferrara Pan's Red Hots, my favorite candy.
I sure would like to see all eight entrants in each non basketball bracket.

Second Round Winners
Still working with the Chicago Tribune's sculpture brackets for those of you not into March Madness.
The Second round pitted Cloud Gate versus the Michael Jordan statue on one side.
The other side had The Flamingo versus the Art Institute Lions.
I would have picked Cloud Gate (the Bean) and the lions for the final showdown.
The Tribune picked Cloud gate because "Jordan used to be big. Bean rolls."
They also picked the Flamingo saying "Without wreaths, Lions look naked; Majestic "Flamingo" triumphs."
So, in the finale, it will be the Bean vs. the Flamingo.
The tribune decided to let the readers pick the winner.

Come On Bean!! But Shoulda Been The Picasso vs the Lions. --RoadDog

Not Much Fun at the Beach
A Beachin' I did go, but a'sunnin' and a beach walkin' I didn't do much, but I did go a boatin'.
On Friday March 28th, Mom and I drove to Topsail Beach, stopping at Smithfield's BBQ and Chicken in Warsaw for lunch. It is a chain mostly along NC's interstates, but serves up good Carolina 'cue.
Got to the beach and enjoyed what turned out to be the best day of the trip, even though the wind did have some chill in it, but at least it was sunny. Spent a lot of time with Graham and Vicki, my cousins. who have the condo next to Mom's.
Saturday, March 29th-- overcast ans way too cool for late March at the beach. Had a great potluck featuring some more great Carolina cue as preepared by David, who owns the condo next to us. Of course, he has a pedigree in 'cue as he owns Howard;s BBQ in Lillington, NC, right on the Cape Fear River and one of my favorite roads, US-421 which I have driven the whole length from its northern terminus in Michigan City, Indiana, to the "Rocks: by Fort Fisher, NC.
Afterwards, we had the annual condo meeting where a lot of monetary stuff was discussed. Not much excitement, plus, we probably should eat AFTER the meeting, not before it.
There are six condos in the Topsail Arms. Met the two newest owners, a couple from Athens, Ohio. They bought their unit about two years ago and thought they got a great deal at $360,000.

Chicago Public Sculpture Brackets
Finally got around to reading the March 26th Chicago Tribune. It kind of got buried underneath other stuff in the truck.
In the Tempo section, the Trib ran brackets for those who feel left out because of all the March Madness Stuff. These are brackets for Chicago public sculpture. The Trib was "nice" enough to run the eight sculptures to the final winner.
I definitely did not agree with some of their picks.
FIRST ROUND
1. CLOUD GATE (BEAN)
THE PICASSO
2. SPINDLE (CAR BOB)
MICHAEL JORDAN
3. FOUR SEASONS
FLAMINGO
4. MIRO'S CHICAGO
ART INSTITUTE LIONS
Winners in the first round.
1. Cloud Gate-- I would have gone with the Picasso, although the bean's neat
2. Michael Jordan-- I would have gone with the Car Bob-- more unique and I'm not much of an MJ fan.
3. Flamingo-- Agree, but I've never heard of the Four Seasons
4. Art Institute Lions-- Agree. What's more Chicag0
Second Round Tomorrow.

Visiting Family in North Carolina
I have been on the road since this past Wednesday. I took my usual route to get around Chicago, Il-47. At Sauneman, I went east on Il-110 and even was on US-45 for awhile. We had taken it from Mobile, Alabama, to Champaign, Illinois, earlier in the month.
Caught I-65 in Indiana and went to I-70 in Indianapolis, all the way to Cambridge, Ohio, where it was I-77 to Marietta, Ohio, right on the Ohio River where I spent the night.
Thursday, it was I-77 in the rain to Charleston, West Virginia, where I had breakfast at a Shoney's (I haven't eaten at one of these in a long time). Great buffet for $6.95.The West Virginia Turnpike, between the first two toll areas, is one of the most beautiful drives anywhere, and I am not a big fan of interstates. Total tolls are $3.75 at three toll collection plazas. The scenery is worth it.
On to Virginia and got gas for $3.15, the lowest along the ride. Most places wanted $3.28 or more.To I-74 to I-40 from Winston-Salem to Raleigh, not a favorite drive because of the heavy traffic, but I was running a little before rush hour and madeit with no major traffic jams.
Took US-70 to Goldsboro.
Talk About an EXPENSIVE Drive!!! --RoadDog

HMAS Sydney
I have not heard anything here in the US about the discovery of this ship's wreck off the west coast of Australia last week, but it is definitely big news in Australia.
The ship disappeared after a fight with the German raider Kormoran in 1941. Not one of her 600 plus crew survived.
I've been covering it on my history blog or you can search for news about it.

Property Taxes, How High is High?
I am of the opinion that my property taxes are a bit high out here in Spring Grove, Illinois. For an 2200 square foot home on an acre, I'm paying $7600. As a matter of fact, when I finally paid off the mortgage, my monthly property tax was the same as the mortgage payment!!! Now, that's BAD!!!
Yesterday, my buddy Kip and I took a ride out through a subdivision in Grayslake, Illinois and saw many For Sale signs all over the place. Several homes had flyers and we stopped to get copies.
These homes are on perhaps an 8th of an acre and although striking, some are modeled on Frank Lloyd Wright's work, not very big. Two were listed in the $420-465,000 range and one at $596,000. I doubt that any had more than 2200 square feet.
Now Get This--- Taxes on the two less expensive ones were around $10,900 and $14,114 for the bigger one.
Now, how are people going to be able to pay this much??
Guess I shouldn't complain as much. But I Will!!!
If we do move from here, a big part of it will be because of taxes. --RoadDog

OK, Now It's Snow's Cut Bridge
That's my big problem when I get into something, I keep branching out, branching out, until sometimes I don't even know where I am.
Now, I'm on that Snow's Cut Bridge which I mentioned always signaled my arrival at beloved Carolina Beach.
This is one magnificent and high bridge, and the only bridge that connects what is now called Pleasure Island which is Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, and Fort Fisher. At one time there was no need for a bridge as these beaches were on a peninsula, but with the cut across from the Cape Fear River to the sounds for the Intercoastal Waterway, these communities suddenly became an island.
The bridge was built in 1961 and I don't know how they got to the island before that, even though I'm sure I was in the car when we went over it. In the aftermath of the bridge collapse in Minnesota, Snow's Cut Bridge was checked and on a 1-100 scale, came out at a 62. Bridges like this one have an expectancy of 50 years, so it is past that.
No set replacement plan is in effect right now.
From the August 27, 2007 Island Gazette.
Hopefully Over and Not Down. --RoadDog

Tote-Em-In Zoo-- Wilmington, NC
I got to wondering about the Tore-Em-In Zoo at 5811 Carolina Beach Road and that old elephant tied up outside that spent every day that I saw him with one foot tied to something as he would rock back and forth.
I came across an article saying it had closed after 50 years of operation in 2003. The owner at the time was Jerry Brown who had worked at the place his whole life.
The conditions the animals had to live in weren't very good by today's zoo standards.
The door to the place was a gigantic plaster lion head.
Sorry to hear it. Like Monkey Junction, it just meant that I was that much closer to Carolina Beach.
Then there would be my first glimpse of the ocean as we crossed over Snow's Cut Bridge over the Intercoastal Waterway.
Hoping to Visit the Area this Weekend. --RoadDog

Get the Monkey...ON YOUR BACK!!!
In case you were wondering, the name Monkey Junction first appeared about 70 years ago because a gas station located there in the late 30s to early 40s.
It was owned by Dina and Jack Spindle, who kept live monkeys to attract customers from a local bus. The bus would stop near the station and the driver would announce, "Monkey Junction." Soldiers from Fort Fisher also enjoyed the place.
Non-natives of Wilmington might refer to it as Myrtle Grove Junction.
There is/or was a small roadside zoo near it called the Tote-Em Zoo which had an elephant tied up out front for many years.
I always got excited when we reached Monkey Junction because it meant we were getting near Carolina Beach, the place where I spent many summer vacations in my youth.
Save the Monkey!! --RoadDog

Monkey Junction to be Annexed to Wilmington, NC??
There is considerable discussion about whether or not the area known as Monkey Junction will be absorbed into the city of Wilmington.
It is located at the intersection of College Road (NC-132) and Carolina Beach Road (US-421). This is a rapidly growning area with all the accoutrements of SHS (Standard Homogenized Stuff) that you see so often along our highways these days. That would be Wal Marts, Buffalo Wild Wings and the like.
One of the leaders of the opposition has a website at http://www.monkeyjunctionnc.com/ . Very interesting site.
The good folks of MJ (no, not the basketball/underwear guy) also object to being called Myrtle Grove which is a nearby subdivision.
Hey, you can even buy a tee shirt.

Da Gonzo is On NIU
While checking out the Gonzo's blog to see if he had done any other Illinois architecture, I saw that he hadn't. Lately, he has been working with others on the NIU Needs Answers Blog.
They are "searching for the truth in the wake of a tragedy," referring to the horrible shootings at my alma mater, Northern Illinois University back on Feb. 14th.
They are calling it a citizens journalism project and anyone can submit stories, photos, or videos after creating an account with it.
There is discussion as what to do with Cole Hall, the site of the murders. The governor and others want it torn down. I say that it shouldn't be torn down. I'd even go so far as to say it should continue as a lecture hall. The killer will not get his way.

Death Toll in Iraq Surpasses 4000
Extremely sad news yesterday.
It wouldn't be so bad if it appeared that we were making some headway. There was awhile last summer when we didn't hear about all the casualties and it looked like we might be on our way to setting up a democratic government in Iraq, but lately, we've had a lot of deaths.
Perhaps we've reached the point where we should just say we've done all that we can do and just leave. If not, I'd like to see our troops puled from patrol duty and put into heavily fortified camps,
The time has come for Iraq's government to do their own job.
It's Time to DO SOMETHING. --RoadDog

Getting Ready to Cruise on Down to North Carolina
I'm leaving Wednesday for a trip to visit family in the Old North State. I understand the dogwoods and azaleas are just coming into bloom and I've always wanted to see this display.
Wilmington, NC has an azalea festival in two weeks, and that also might be on the docket.
Hopefully it will be warmer and I'm definitely getting up for some of that good old 'cue. Remember, a proper fork of bbq also has to have cole slaw.
Hope I Can AFFORD the GAS!!! --RoadDog

Heartsfield Nails Oil Co. Execs
The Heartsfield Howdy Newsletter had a bit on a planned run for the presidency and features several planks.
One I found of particular interest was the one on what they wanted oil execs, you know, the GRBs from Big Oil to do.
Oil execs have to submit the following:
a) how many $100,000 cars they have
b) how many homes and get-away homes they have
c) how many $1.5 million plus bashes they throw a year
d) number of solid gold fixtures in their homes
e) annual budget for $4000+ hookers used to influence business and government leaders, especially those Congressional members who influence regulations and tax breaks
f) how many times they laugh on the way to the bank at OUR expense.
Well Put Heartsfield. You've Got My Vote. --RoadDod

Now I Dun Seen Everthing!!!
Hard to believe that someone actually paid $1,300 for the corn flake shaped like the state of Illinois.
It was featured on e-Bay and the winning bid was submitted by Monty Kerr who owns the Trivia Mania website. He'd like to put it in a traveling museum. Probably will call it "Famous Flakes I Have Known."
Now, I'll have to check each flake in each and every bowl of cereal I eat from now on.
Counting Flakes, but Hopefully Not a Flake. --RoadDog

Heartsfield's the Band!!! In the Final Four!!!
One of my favorite groups is Heartsfield which is based in the Chicagoland-area. They started playing their country-rock music back in the 1970s and are still going strong.
I have four of their albums and got to see them for the first time this past summer at the Round Lake Beach Fest.
Right now, they are involved in the St. Louis Classic Rock.com's 2008 March Bandness Contest. Out of the 64 bands that started, they are in the Final Four. Competition is rather tough at this level. The other three are Badfinger, the Beatles, and Who!!!
