James Doohan, who played Scotty in the original Star Trek series passed away this morning. Scotty set the stage for all the chief engineers on Star Fleet ships to follow. Guess now he can beam the rest of us up.

I’ve heard rumors about impossible traffic, long lines, and noise, not to mention the South Carolina heat and humidity. This being one of the last few weekends we have free before school ramps back up, we decided to head to the beach, and for some strange reason, Laura wanted Myrtle.
