longline 2

See that line? That’s the first-day of early voting at Berlin in Worcester County, Maryland. You can expect long lines at Maryland polling places for the Presidential Election on Tuesday. The reason: Ballot questions that voters know are important, so they take the time to read all the questions in the voting booth and make their decisions. The solution: Get familiar […]

Ocean City Survived Hurricane Sandy With Relatively Light Damage

October 30, 2012

1

PICNIC CANCELLED DUE TO HURRICANE. This is shoreline flooding at the edge of Sinepuxent Bay in West Ocean City Monday afternoon, as we experienced wind, rain and storm surge from Hurricane Sandy offshore in the Atlantic. Note, this photo was taken at LOW TIDE! Flooding was more extensive at high tide Monday morning, and again Monday evening. However, the Monday evening flooding was not as bad as I expected, due to strong wind pushing against the tide.

UPDATE — SURREAL AFTER-THE-STORM PHOTOS FROM OCEAN CITY AT WORK IN PROGRESS Today is a good day to give thanks to God. The Eastern Shore of Maryland has come through Hurricane Sandy with no reported fatalities on the Shore. The Route 50 Bridge and the Route 90 Bridge are open. Public transportation is being restored […]

A car navigates a flooded West Ocean City Street shortly after high tide Monday morning.

10 p.m. Monday. Good news: No injuries or deaths reported today in the Ocean City area. Some minor damage to buildings, but no major property damage confirmed so far, except for the large Ocean City fishing and amusement pier. I’m surprised that, at least in my neighborhood of West Ocean City, this evening’s high tide […]

In-State Tuition for Immigrant Children Is A Win-Win

March 15, 2011

The Maryland State Senate has passed a bill allowing children of “illegal immigrants” to pay the in-state tuition rate at Maryland community colleges. It’s reported that this might burden Maryland taxpayers, eventually. The concern is unnecessary, because it’s based on a  misunderstanding of the so-called costs. Just my opinion. First, seems to me a bit old-fashioned […]
