Uncle Jack's Outer Banks

Uncle Jack's Outer Banks is a collection of 100 of the funniest/most trenchant of over 1000 columns the author wrote for weekly newspapers on the Outer Banks of North Carolina during the 40 years he lived in Nags Head. It is illustrated with dozens of captivating photos he took during that period of everything from storms to spectacular sunrises. Lovers of the Outer Banks will find it a rich compendium of observations on the past and present state of life on these once desolate but now crowded barrier islands. Popular Maine humorist Robert Skoglund, the Humble Farmer, thinks Uncle Jack is the funniest writer in America which is probably not entirely true but for a very modest investment readers can judge for themselves. Uncle Jack's Weblog has had over a half-million page views in the past five years so he is hoping that some of those followers might find this collection worth parking on their hard drives, too.. Here's a small sample from a piece called "Social Notes from the Mainland": Mrs. Greb Fillet and Mrs. Nettie Clayford drove to Norfolk on Wednesday in Mrs. Clayford's new Ford Siesta with optional overdrive. They got 43.6 miles to the gallon according to Mrs. Clayford's daughter Lula who is home on vacation from Central Junior Bible College in Charlotte where she is majoring in long division. Billy Frank Weddle, son of Mrs. Jimmy Joe Weddle of Drainfield, was home last week on a three-day pass from the East Carolina Correctional Center in Clam Quarter where he recently starred in an inmate production of Verd's "La Forza del Destino". And so it goes.
