> I keep thinking about those ferry trips between islands on the Outer Banks. You drive your car onto a big boat and it hauls you to another island and the 40 minute trip is free. Zip. No charge. I suppose it is cheaper than building and maintaining bridges in hurricane alley, but it must be costing the state a bundle to provide that service. It's a really pleasant boat trip, too.

To Cedar Island it was $15 for a car and all of its people, but pedestrians ride for a dollar. If you have a bicycle, I think they charge $3 and a motorcycle pays $8. There are still some real bargains around.

How much do they charge for the fudge? Or is it that the fudge is free and the songs they sing while they make it cost a little?

I used to work for that company, both in Ohio and Texas. I still sing "fudge words" to every day songs.
