As usual, I’m taking a short break from Maryland On My Mind in August. This year, the reason is the 2010 election campaign. 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 [...]

This is the week Ocean City, Maryland, businesses have been waiting for . . . for the last three summers.
A banner weekend, probably more people than July 4 weekend. Saturday was the hottest day of the summer (I hope we don’t get any more 110-degree heat index days), and the moon was full in a cloudless [...]

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. [...]

Since when do U.S. generals give interviews to Rolling Stone?
Double-dip recession? There was never any real question of that. You can see bigger storm clouds on the horizon. Of course, they could blow over. You never know.
BP lies. So which big corporation can you trust?
What about government? Everyone turns to the federal government. But what [...]

Classic weather in Ocean City. Late Winter or early Spring. Take your pick.
After sunny days during the week, the weekend was a little . . . wet. But not really cold.
What more could you possibly want from an off-season beach weekend? We had it all. Pea-soup fog, howling wind, spectacular high surf, driving rain. (Not [...]
