An Untitled Mess

Okay, so tonight is the night of nights.  It's THE night...the night where I catch you up.  Most of this will be new, some of it might be leftovers reheated for you to gag down once again.  But hey, this is what you signed up for. Ever see an alpaca in the nude? We have naked alpacas.  Those poor things.  There are these people who come to the states once a year to shear sheep, alpacas, and I'm sure various other woolly animals.  So, since we are proud owners of alpacas (Al Pocalypse and Al Paccino), my parents had these people over to the farm to give the good old buzz cut...the "zero against the grain", as it is called in some places.  A Navajo warrior couldn't have scalped these guys in any finer fashion.  I was actually at home when I got the call that they were about to start.  I had to wrap up some things I was involved in and grab my camera but by the time I made it out to the farm, they were already packing up to leave.  Sa...

So my dad's parents have been in town since Friday.  I've been working pretty much non-stop since they got in and tonight I did not have to work.  So we went out for dinner together.  We went down to the waterfront to the place formerly known as Captain Bill's .  It's called Southern Salt now.  To be honest, the food was pretty good, the service not so much.  Maybe our waitress was new, or maybe it was a bad night in the kitchen, but our food took so long to get to us that the manager even asked us what was up.  When the order came, it was missing side items and was not very hot.  What was hot was the bar tender.  And she had on these jean shorts...oh my.  Anyways, got a few shots off the deck before the sun fully set.  I was disappointed that the sun actually set behind a bunch of buildings and not behind the island like I hoped it would. Besides the short comings of Southern Salt, we had a pretty good evening.  We lau...

I spent nearly the entire afternoon at the doctor's office and the pharmacy.  Waking up this morning, my eye hurt and was burning and itching.  I wanted to rip it out of my eye and feed it to my pet raven.  Okay, I don't have a pet raven but that would be pretty bad ass.  I did the whole hot rag on the eye thing plus drowned it in Clear Eyes but by time lunch rolled around I was miserable and just went to the urgent care. Not pleased to waste my day here... The up side was that I was off work today anyways so I didn't technically lose any money in that way.  Beach Care in Morehead City was not busy.  What I mean by that is that I was one of two people sitting in the waiting area.  I saw the nurse rather quickly, which was a plus.  I did the whole eye chart thing.  Spoiler alert, the eye that I came in for them to look at had worse vision than the other.  Never would have guessed.  I got kind of worried when the nurse brought ...
