This is the week Ocean City, Maryland, businesses have been waiting for . . . for the last three summers.

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. [...]

We had quite a show of flash lightening around midnight. Very little thunder. Possibility of scattered thunderstorms [...]

Finally, I’ve found two other good Ocean City local blogs, besides my own. (There are a number of “blogs” by Realtors. They tend to be updated rarely. Not really what I consider community blogs.)

This snazzy roadster is the sportiest way to go on the boardwalk. Ray says it can be rented for $25 an hour at Dandy Don’s Bike Rentals, @ 12th Street in Ocean City. It comes complete with AM/FM radio, but of course, zero horsepower. It’s the original “green” car. You provide the energy. [...]
