Understanding Beaufort: August 2008
http://beaufortbay.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 25, 2008. Growing prize leeks and potatoes as a solution to the world's problems. Think globally, act locally." "Be a part of the solution, not a part of the problem." "Don’t let the %#@%&%#@ get you down; don’t get hassled to a frazzle.". I really have considered living by all those important sayings and song lyrics of the late Sixties, but I also believe in "Forgive them that hate you," "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," and "Love thy neighbor as thyself.". I kept think...

Understanding Beaufort: April 2009
http://beaufortbay.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 13, 2009. The Etiquette of a Lowcountry Oyster Roast. Conscientious oyster cooks use power washers to get the pluff mud off the local oysters. The oysters are often steamed in steam-tables that look like stainless barrels with moving parts; but sometimes they are just thrown on barbecue grates and the wet-down burlap sacks thrown on top. That washes in and out of the beds. An oyster boat is still called a "bateau," but bateaux are now in competition with some models of the Carolina Skif...

Understanding Beaufort: Puppy Love
http://beaufortbay.blogspot.com/2008/09/puppy-love.html
Thursday, September 4, 2008. I hate it when people write about small, fuzzy, loveable things. It is almost as bad as "Have a nice day" said insincerely, or happy faces pasted on the wall (Mr. Yuck was better, some days). Danny lives with my ex-wife exclusively, by cruel decree, but he still nuzzles me and sticks his nose in my neck on those rare occasions when I see him. He even makes an exception in my case and gives me a little lick when he greets me. We are still that close. A friend who is a dog-love...

Understanding Beaufort: July 2008
http://beaufortbay.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 23, 2008. The Beaufort Marine Institute. The physical plant is not unlike a Boy Scout camp–intentionally Spartan, utilitarian, without frills. Signs along the vehicle path in the grounds of the BMI name such virtues as "Loyalty," "Family," "Honesty," "Integrity,". The BMI aims to be a successful home for wayward boys, taking kids with budding criminal careers and setting a strict rule over them, trying to help with what is called the unified approach–concentrating on their education...

Understanding Beaufort: June 2008
http://beaufortbay.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 26, 2008. Crabs, Crabbing, and Crabby Old Men. You have to numb LIVE crabs with ice, pull off their limbs, crack open their backs. Now I know exactly why crabmeat costs so much. I start to feel sorry for the crabs at this point, and I think of becoming a vegan. And my friend Maria, who fishes and cleans fish for a living, thinks that claw meat is the best part of the crab. When I told her about the Crab-o-Matic, she said "When are you going to ask for your money back? What happens to the C...

Understanding Beaufort: No-see-ums
http://beaufortbay.blogspot.com/2008/07/no-see-ums.html
Friday, July 18, 2008. I am faint: my gashes cry for help.". No real-estate agent tells you about the no-see-ums unless you ask a pointed question. No Chamber of Commerce pamphlet tells you not to go near the marshes when the gnats are out. Quietly, the natives of this area say no-see-ums are placed here by God to keep the Yankees out. How can you tell you are becoming a native? You will pay for foggers, for aerosol cans, for creams, for lotions. They all stink and sting. Skin-So-Soft costs about...300 a...

Understanding Beaufort: Frank
http://beaufortbay.blogspot.com/2008/09/frank.html
Thursday, September 4, 2008. I was thinking last night, while walking meditatively at bedtime, that I would have followed Frank into battle willingly, if he were my commanding officer, but then I thought of how ridiculous an idea that might be, except in an age of onward Christian soldiers.
