Tonight I took a long walk around the village, and noticed lights on at your place. Oh no, I thought. I'd better go home and study up! <br /><br />I think I'll be ready for you by Friday.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572532603071469799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-31159425144475943432011-01-26T19:34:22.178-05:002011-01-26T19:34:22.178-05:00We are looking forward to the concert.

And...we also have plenty of opportunity to just "sit and pick." The variety is one of the reasons we like Ocracoke living so much...and even when it's Vivaldi we don't feel compelled to dress up...unless we want to!Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572532603071469799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-51713604859075121892011-01-26T15:36:57.971-05:002011-01-26T15:36:57.971-05:00Just in case you thought WE THOUGHT you were a bu...Just in case you thought WE THOUGHT you were a bunch of country bumpkins-not so! In fact, being so remote, I think, gives you more incentive to find more cultural and social outlets, which we in the big city take for granted & rarely if ever use. And besides, what's so bad about country bumpkins-don't you ever miss the days when folks found entertainment just "settin' & pickin'?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-89434627512656613752011-01-26T15:26:32.524-05:002011-01-26T15:26:32.524-05:00I hadn't seen the Google map images, and I had...I hadn't seen the Google map images, and I had not heard anything about when or how they were made. However, they were made before mid-March of 2010 because a building I had demolished at that time is shown in the images. Also, there are only two vehicles in the public parking area at the "Lifeguard Beach" walk over ramp. And there is no lifeguard stand, swimmers, or any people at all on the beach there. Clearly these photos were not made during the busy tourist season. It must have been a wintertime project.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572532603071469799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-56804704863257977992011-01-26T13:38:44.729-05:002011-01-26T13:38:44.729-05:00Speaking of so far removed from the mainland I go...Speaking of so far removed from the mainland I googled the post office on OI to find a picture and the street view images from the google map search engine allowed me to travel the Garish highway. My question to you did everyone know when the Google street cam was capturing images for the site? And have you enjoyed a virtual tour as anyone can and if you did could you speculate as to the time of year it was documented?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-68227424692265343892011-01-26T09:42:11.100-05:002011-01-26T09:42:11.100-05:00Philip, your report about this outstanding, upcomi...Philip, your report about this outstanding, upcoming cultural "Basso in Concert" event encourages me to find my classical piano sheet music on this cold, dreary, rainy day in Piedmont NC and play some Mozart, Bach or Strauss! <br /><br />Very impressive opportunity for the locals (and any visitors on the island) to enjoy!<br /><br />Once again, I am green with envy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
