You may have heard that I’m running for Maryland House of Delegates in District 38B, which is all of Worcester County and part of Wicomico, on the Lower Eastern Shore. The first [...]

They played the All-Star Game this week — I’ve been so busy I didn’t know it was coming up until the day after.
I always mark the All-Star Game as the halfway point in the Ocean City summer business season, not so much because the game’s in mid-July, but because it’s halfway between May 1 and Sept. [...]

We’re cooking in another heat wave, hotter than the last one. A distinct haze is in the air, along with the temperature. Ozone. Don’t tell me how hot it is. I don’t want to know.
I’m sorry to say there was an accident in the surf in front of my workplace today. Police and ambulance responded. [...]

Traffic Report
Yes, we have some motorcycles, here in Ocean City, Maryland, this Memorial Day weekend. How many? I really couldn’t say.
Saturday was warmer than expected, warm enough that I turned on the AC in the car. Saturday evening is cool and nice. Sunday will likely be even nicer. The Wine Rack Exxon in West OC is [...]

Cathy celebrated her birthday with flair on the Ocean City Boardwalk this week. Of course, the sun was shining in honor of her day.
Next year, perhaps, a red birthday cake and a glass of red wine? Would that go together?
And a ride on the Ferris wheel!
Good wishes to Cathy for a wonderful year!
Cathy and John.
