Hey, have a great time at the beach.
I had been planning to do some surf fishing on the Outer Banks, but NC Hwy. 12 was torn up pretty bad by Isabel.
I don't think I can get there now.
To: Texan5
It is very pricey!

My girls are both medium sized at 42 and 51 pounds, respectively. I've been snickered at when at the groomer's because they look like pretty, useless doggies that nice ladies own. But try coming into our yard, or worse yet, our house and they think they're the hounds of the Baskervilles. Adog really doesn't need to be very big to warn or protect-they all have sharp teeth.

Oh heck here's a shot at it.
"Treason"
The dems all hate her every move,
They’d like to see her dead.
On Free Republic everyday,
She’s on at least one thread.
Not freeping but the topic of,
Discussion by the masses.
Most freepers like her points of view,
Except a few dumbazzes.
Bill and Hill can’t stand her guts,
We all know they have reason.
They can’t stand Ann Coulter’s book,
Exposing them for TREASON.

I might be able to do that, but the last I heard, Hatteras island was off-limits to nonresidents.
To: Flurry
Excellent! I like it.
To: Texan5
It took almost 10 minutes.

Telemarketers I abhor,
I wish I could just slam the door!
As judges rule, and lawmakers vote,
Of this I must take note:
Some execs are among the signers
of disgruntled evening diners.
Hypocrisy is such a boor,
another thing that I abhor!

I feel bad, mocking those who can't defend themselves.
I also feel bad not pinging Holwin to this :-)

True, but you don't surf fish from a boat. You have to get on the island.
