RiverFest Was A Flop!!!

No mater how much everyone will try to say this event was a huge success, pictures never lie!

As I went from booth to booth and talked to people till I was blue in the face, people explained to me how this was a much bigger event than last year because the draw bridge was closed last year. I'd then turn my head and look around and all I could think was, DEE, DEE, DEEEEE!

People were selling themselves at this thing, things were so slow! I spent hours seeing old friends and even new friends in the Political Arena but all in all the first impression, (honest to God) was the severe smell/stench/odor coming from the Wicomico River! I was informed today that they released the no fishing, no swimming on the Wicomoico River TODAY! This Mayor will stop at nothing!

Anyhow, you wanted to know how the event went, the photos should tell it all.

Can I Have A Little Fries With My Salt Please?

All I want to know is, what kind of Health Insurance Policy does the Sheriffs Department have as well as a Life Insurance Policy?

Secondly, is there a Dunkin Donuts anywhere near their main office as well? If not, I'm opening a franchise there immediately because I happen to know there's a piece of property For Sale right next to the Sheriffs Office!

Forgive me for saying so but why does this guy remind me of that Cop on the Simpsons? ;-)

Please Help Me Understand This!

Yesterday I visited Delmar Elementary School to pick up my Grandson. Yes, I too am on the fringe of being called "ELDERLY."

Here's what I don't get. All too often I'd drive around the City of Salisbury and see these signs posted freely around Ben's Red Swings and I'd write the City Council and Mayor and a few weeks later and a few letters later they would eventually disappear.

Now I'm seeing them on Public School grounds and I have a VERY serious problem with that. The abuse this company continues to take advantage of illegally is just unbelievable. Now I don't know the owners of this company and I'm sure they're good people but this abuse has to stop!

I too have owned retail sports businesses like this and I could just see getting sued and fined for ever thinking of placing a sign up somewhere and not having a permit! Who are these people that can constantly get away with this?

Oh, by the way, it's NOT my camera, the sign is upside down. So you also know, I visited the "Crown Sports Center" and I didn't see one of these signs posted anywhere! Should the Crown Sports Center start making up their own signs and post them on Public School Property for free? After all, they're providing unbelievable services for the community and probably deserve free advertisement for taking such HUGE risks!

Does Mr. Sharma Ever Get Out Of The Office?

This is West Gordy Road, between Northwood Dr. and Bus. Rt. 13. Wicomico County. A concerned Citizen said, "I haven't seen a bushhog go down this road in over 2 complete summers. I've lost count of how many times I've almost been creamed by a Sysco truck. (they have a warehouse on this road as well)."

Hide & Go Seek!

I was wondering what they have been doing day after day just off Rt. 50. I finally stopped the other day and played a little game of Hide & Go Seek and look what I found. An unending supply of fresh trees for the picking. I had NO IDEA the State of Maryland allows a loading and unloading zone right on the side of Rt. 50. Seems safe to me. Just pull over to the side of the road and for a good 8 to 10 hours a day load and unload trees all day long while cars pass you at 65 miles per hour.

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions!

I have held numerous recent conversations with people referencing Ron Alessi signs and what you're about to hear is quite interesting and 100% truth.

I have a neighbor who has a friend who asked if they could put Ron Alessi signs on their property and under pressure she agreed but insisted to this person she wasn't voting for him.

I spoke to another friend who explained that on a business location on Rt. 13 he walked into the business to say hello to this friend and unfortunately the friend wasn't there at the time but their son was. While speaking to the son my friend asked what the deal was on the Ron Alessi sign and the son said, Mom and Dad aren't voting for him. A friend of Dad's in the Chamber of Commerce put pressure on him to put the sign out here and he did so but they're not voting for him.

Each and every time I have this conversation with someone they tell me they've heard the same exact kind of story from the people they talk to. So be careful about being fooled folks. Alessi is using all the slick pressure moves politicians seem to abuse.

Knowing his mathematical skills from the Zoo, if they bought 500 signs and posted them he'd tell you there are 1,000 of them around the City. I guess if you count both sides he wouldn't be lying though, right? Say Goodnight Gracy.
