We hope everyone in 'our viewing area' (I guess that can even include Baku, Azerbaijan!) has a happy and safe Memorial Day weekend. But, we all need to remember that people have actually gotten hurt or killed by drunk drivers, especially during holiday periods.
One such place where folks can enjoy themselves should they live near Chapel Hill, NC, is the most fabolous Turkish restaurant Talulla's on Franklin Street (downtown). Their shish kebab dishes are 'harika' (Turkish word for excellent). One day when I'm back in Tarheel Town, I hope to try manti, a Turkish noodle dish that I haven't had in years!
Incidentally, to my knowledge, I am not sure if Tallula's does or does NOT actually have a belly dancer, but we loved this image and we couldn't think of anything else to go with our entry.
On a more somber note, the anti-drunk driving group MADD reported on its blog (maddonline.blogspot.com) that West Virginia State Patrol officer Andy Pringle was hit by a drunk driver during a traffic stop on April 24. As of May 12, he was in the ICU at a hospital in West Virginia.
WTAP-TV in Parkersburg, WVa., gave more details of the incident which I first read about on the MADD blog. They said the incident occured early in the morning near Cisco, W.Va.
The TV station in northern West Virginia also gave the address of a fund being used to assist the Pringle family, which consists of his wife and their three children:
Andrew Pringle Fund
c/o Tonja Pringle
Huntington National Bank
Star Route 80, Box 3
Harrisville, W.Va 26362
But, serious stuff aside, hope everyone has a good holiday weekend. Perhaps, you can take your family to Claytor Lake near Pulaski, Va. I would join you, but the last time I went there, it rained!
