AOL says it's a security issue with Windows. But when I'm using AIM and not AOL, it never happened. Now it happens about once a minute.

I don't think the people sending this IM Messages even know that I'm on line. They have just created a way to send out a message that hits ANYONE who is online with AOL.

AOL offered to download a 'fix' but since I'm on a dial-up there is no way I could do that in the time I have available.

Anyway....

Got down to Nags Head about 4:30 PM and first stop was Lighthouse Gallery & Gifts. Very nice store (photos coming later.)

Had dinner at a restaurant Maureen at LH Gallery & Gifts recommended and it was great. It's a short hop from the Comfort Inn where I'm checked in until Sunday now.

The hotel is still showing damage from Isabel - a few boarded up room windows. Also saw trash piled along the highway, but not much.

Tomorrow early I'm going to try to find a lighthouse nearby (?) to get some 'rising sun' photos.
