My favorite lighthouse is on the beautiful shore of North Carolina, at least it was. Cape Hatteras is the tallest lighthouse in America, and it had to be moved inland due to eroding of the shore caused by the waves. The ensuing project was among the most difficult structure moving in history. Imagine the logistics of moving a 200 foot tall slender building, through the sand no less? When you think about relocating a lighthouse, corporate relocation seems easy.

The final stop on my trip through North Carolina and Tennessee ended at the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I have always had a fascination with lighthouses, so the Outer Banks was an absolute must on the trip. Some of the oldest functioning lighthouses, in all their glory, still stand on guard on the Outer Banks. I remember a few years ago they moved legendary Cape Hatteras lighthouse a few miles inland as waves were eroding the islands.

I recently visited the Biltmore House in Asheville, North Carolina. The estate is the largest private home in the United States! One could spend hours touring the many rooms. Everything in the house, for the most part, is original. The Vanderbilts were an extremely rich family, and they didn’t cut any corners when it came to their estate. Even the recliner was made of high quality material that was still beautiful after a hundred years. It it really worth a trip to see early examples of big spenders in America.

The Doctor, Jan Adams, who performed plastic surgery on Kanye West’s mother walked off the Larry King show abruptly, explaining he was asked by the West family to not go on. He said he would never answer questions as long as the family wasn’t comfortable. Larry King said it was one of the craziest things he had ever seen on his show in it’s many years, and probably one of the more interesting. He stayed around long enough to say a few lines, then shook Larry’s hand and removed his earpiece. Investigators are looking into whether Dr. Adams actions cost Kanye’s mom her life, and it has also stirred debate about the safety of plastic surgery.

Political correctness is running amok in the lives of celebrities and everyone else. Don Imus is out of a job. Now, you can possibly add Duane “Dog” Chapman of Dog the Bounty Hunter to that list. His network suspended new episodes of his bounty hunting program after the esteemed National Enquirer got a hold of a conversation he had where he used the “N” word many times. Oh well. At least it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person.
