Wow, it was still there. Sorry. I wanted to read it again, and it was gone, and I thought you'd deleted it. I have no idea how that happened. Anyhoo, my bad. Yours is my favorite blog, and I like revisiting certain bits like I enjoy putting the needle down on the spaces before my favorite songs. I drove through VA Beach on the way home from the Outer Banks this July...at least the part that comes before the Bay Bridge...and I looked desperately for your shop.
Ah, my shop is further inland, in what's known as "Town Center".
And where did you stay in Outer Banks? I'm going the weekend after Labor Day probably. I usually stay at a beach house in Kill Devil Hills, right on Mile Post 4 on the oceanside.
We're always around milepost 2—Kitty Hawk, as I remember, though I don't pay that much attention. There was this shop around MP 10ish, not far from the kick-ass mini-golf course that you have to take the mine-car to get to the top of, and they sold the most amazing fudge (and I HATE candy), and they had closed in the two years since I was there last, so everything was ruint. On the other hand, the weather that little further south is weirdly more temperate than it was the one year we spent in VA Beach (strangely, just a few months before I introduced myself to you)—I've never been less comfortable than I was that summer there, which is one reason I loved your heat entry. Have a great time there, Melp. Another big house with lots of friends? Hey...did you ever see the movie they made from The Dying Animal—I forget the name, but it had B Kingsley and P Cruz. Oh wait, Elegy. I thought of you the whole way through.
I'm trying to remember that fudge shop, but it escapes me. I do know the putt-putt place, because I had played there just two years ago with a group of friends. I usually stop and get fudge and fruit for the cottage at this farmer's market called Powell's on the side of the road in Coinjock, NC on the way down to Outer Banks. I'm not a big fudge eater either, but it's some of the best I've ever had.
I always wanted to ask you if you had seen "Elegy" yet. I haven't, but it's on my netflix queue. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

Why'd you get rid of the hot-day entry? That was some of your more brilliant writing, Countess.
Are you referring to the "Crazy From The Heat" post? I think that was the only hot day blog entry I can remember posting.
And thank you.
