Wawa

Yesterday was the grand opening of the Wawa in Kill Devil Hills and you would have thought people showed up to greet the first astronauts to land on Mars. Wawa is a gas station, right? With food? I should probably commend their marketing people for building the brand and creating a big...

The Minus 5 mph Rule

I don't know the actual start date, but the "Minus 5 mph" rule is in full-effect.  Many drivers on the Outer Banks have apparently been instructed to drive 5 mph below the speed limit.  It didn't come from me.  I grew up on the D.C. beltway.  I know...

Bring It On

I was informed via email that scammers are targeting parents of students from my son's college telling the parents their child is in jail and if immediate payment isn’t received the child will be shipped to the regional jail. I hope the scammers call me. They have no idea who...

Oooh, I'm Scared

I received a notice in the mail that told me everyone would know if I voted or not. Who's mother is writing this copy? Are they actually trying to shame me in to voting? Will the next one threaten to send me to my room without dessert? I've done a lot of shameful things in my...

The Breakers

The author of this article reached out to me for a quote. I warned her that I'm a very boring person. She must have believed me because I didn't make the final cut.

FUNNY HEADLINES

Really? Did they leave mementos, like the push-up bra they wore to work? Did they have a moment of silence? If so, what did they pray for? Maybe it was something like this: "Dear Jesus, thank you for the...
