I'm Just Curious?

Also on my way into the City Council Work Session I saw a Fire Truck pulling onto Rt. 50 from Hebron. As I got closer, (my camera was in the bag) I realized this wasn't a Hebron Fire Truck at all?

It was a Salisbury Fire Truck. Now recently I've watched City of Salisbury Police Cars traveling out of the City and heading West on Rt. 50 past Sasafras and West towards Hebron with their lights on and racing down the road and now I see a Salisbury Fire Truck out of place.

Is there something I don't know about a shared Police & Fire Department into the Hebron territory? I'm not kidding here Folks, I see this quite often.

Oh, you gotta admit, this is a pretty cool shot of the Fire Truck in the rear view mirror, isn't it? I wanted to prove I was heading into Salisbury just before the Bypass.

Do You Know Where Your Children Are?



As I was driving into tonight's City Council Meeting I was on the Bypass doing my usual driving over the speed limit, (it's one of my biggest faults) when three cars came upon me so fast I couldn't believe my eyes. They were doing at least 120 mph and flew past me like I was standing still.

I was able to catch up to them on the Rt. 50 exit ramp and snapped off a few shots. Look, I know if one of my kids were driving as fast as these kids were, I'd want to know. SO, that being said, if you recognize these cars and or their tag numbers, know they were in excess of 100 mph, no doubt about that. Also know there was less than 1 car length between them while driving at that speed.

The car with the DE Tags had two teenage girls in the car and as soon as they saw my camera they knew they were in for it right then and there. One can only hope it scared them half to death and they'll learn from this experience.

The Bypass is a very dangerous place for racing and I can only hope the Police start Policing that stretch of roadway more often, please? They'll save a lot of lives.

Oh, since I gave the Police a tip I get a free pas from any speeding tickets too!

Fall Is In The Air In Delmar

Barrie Tilghman Has Been The Biggest Supporter Of The Charles Jannace Campaign!

"If" it were not for Barrie Tilghman begging the public in a Press Conference to go visit reallifejustice.blogspot.com and duvafiles.blogspot.com, I doubt very seriously Charles Jannace would have ever considered running for Office.

Now there's a new player in the field and without any question, in the very least, Charles Jannace will assure that Ron Alessi, (a good friend of the Mayors) will not succeed.

Tomorrow final numbers will actually show just how powerful the Blog Sites are to this Community as the local media and Committees have somewhat blackballed the Jannace Campaign and he has fought tooth and nail to get his message out to the Public.

There's no question that Charles Jannace has forced the other Candidates to at least adopt some of his platform issues and it has created an awareness to the public in which they are better informed and can expect far more from this new position of County Executive.

So my hat is certainly tipped to Charles Jannace for making Wicomico County a better place to live as well as do business! Remember that when you go to vote Folks.

You can't ask for a better platform than the Jannace platform, no matter what anyone says. Achieving those goals might be a whole different subject but no matter, they "all" make sense and it creates a fantastic guideline for the future.

Once again, Thanks Barrie for all your help and support.

Hey, Sucker, Look What You Can't See Any More!


Before I demolished the illegal tree stand on my property I climbed up into it and took a few shots of 1/3 of our property there. As you can see, this was a perfect spot to spot deer and other wild animals. I'll go back every other day and see if these Idiots return?

Here's To Barrie Tilghman & Chief Webster

Trends In News Distribution


Has anyone else noticed how the main stream media sources are almost begging for news tips, story idea's, and newsworthy photographs?

Just take a look at the front page of the disgrace and you'll see an item called "Contact Us" which is nothing more than a request for you to send in any juicy story or tip. No credit, no pay, no free paper, nothing.

Then you have WMDT TV47 with their "Newswatcher" banner at the top of their website and 30 second TV ads. Their motto is "See it, shoot it, send it in"!

And finally WBOC.com with a dedicated menu item on their website called "Your Story Idea's"

All of these ploys are meant to get the best possible, breaking news stories to the news outlet in a timely fashion simply so they can "run" with it as if it were their own staff and hard work bringing you the latest. You might say "What's wrong with that, don't you even ask for people to call you with their tips?" And I can only say there is one BIG difference between the local blog sites and the media sources mentioned above. They are out to make a PROFIT with your free contribution. The sell advertising space and in the case of the disgrace they even have the nerve to sell the rag they call daily news.

The face of news as we know will change in the near future. Blog sites are fast becoming a reliable means of legitimate news and is able to distribute the information in a fast and efficient manner.
