HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY



I hope everybody has a nice and safe Independence Day. There are not going to be any fireworks this year in Nags Head or Kill Devils Hills, if you want to see fireworks this year on the OBX you are going to have to go over to Manteo where there is going to be a traffic nightmare. If you are in CH you can go to Southpark Mall and watch the fireworks. I have posted a link below to the photos Al took on the beach yesterday, as you will notice I am not any of the photos because it was a bit cool to be on the beach yesterday. I will probably make my beach debut this afternoon as long as the temp gets above 80. I am a bit tired this morning because I stayed up an watched the end of the race which Kevin Harvick won holding of Kasey Kahne for the win. MICKEY

A COUPLE OF WAYS TO SOOTHE SUNBURN
Slather on aloe. If you’re going to buy it in a bottle, the best choice is one that contains no added colors or fragrances. (A good option is Aubrey Organics Pure Aloe Vera.) But aloe straight from the plant may be even better and possibly more effective, says Lynne C. David, ND, a naturopathic doctor at the Center for Integrative Medicine at the George Washington University Medical Center in Washington, D.C. Purchase a plant at a garden store or florist, and then just split open a spear and rub the gel on your skin.

Milk it. Soak a clean cloth in cool milk and apply it to the burned area for 20 minutes, says Hadley C. King, MD, a clinical instructor of dermatology at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York. Make sure you use whole milk; the fat content is what’s soothing. Reapply every two to four hours.
