When we went to Dom Rep we took a trip out to a place called Paradise Island (a medium sized sand bar actually) & had to leave our shoes & even beach towels on the boat as not to accidentally remove sand.

"A truck with a police escort stopped in Back Bay at 7:32 a.m. Monday to deliver the final stones to complete the memorial at the Boston Marathon finish line for the three victims of the 2013 terror bombing that rocked the city and the nation. The truck bore chunks of granite, weighing hundreds of pounds each, taken from sentimental places in the three bombing victims’ lives."

I had sweet local blue crab and salty country ham in Virgnia once, served in a black skillet.

It definitely kicked ass.

Not so sure about spam.

We only ate spam when I was a kid a couple days before my dad's payday. When the fridge was empty. Lol. Last resort kind of thing.
