The Daily Times Wants To Be Just Like Joe Albero

Not only is The Daily Times now posting all the crime stats, (which is a really good thing) from the SPD but now when you go to their Home Page and look at their top news stories, look what they send you to! I posted my story at 9:10 AM this morning and they decided it was so good that they better follow my lead. Click the link below and it takes you to the same story/facts. ROTFLMAO!

DATA CENTER: Maryland tax rates by county, municipality - 2:31 PM

Oh, do tell me, what does the Daily Times cost per day and what does Salisbury News cost per day? Just wondering!

Salisbury Fire Boat Sunk To Bottom Of River For 2nd Time In Two Weeks!

Click on images to enlarge.

Yes, this boat has sunk twice in two weeks and the SFD still refused to pull it out of the water. The Dock Master told me it some how got caught up under one of the piers and as the tide rose the boat kept filling with water from heavy rains and flipped and sunk. I have owned boats for many years and let me assure you, I would never tie up a boat that would have enough room to slip under another dock and get snagged!

The last time, Fire Fighters were claiming it was a total loss, (two weeks ago) and as I saw pictures, the brand new motor the City just bought last year was above the water and safe. I guess it wasn't good enough the first time since the bilge pump failed, leave it in the water again and this time DO IT RIGHT!

Everyone knows from my past articles just how desperate See & Gordy have been about getting that new Boat. This should tell each and every one of you that they are so dumb, they simply put that boat that sunk just two weeks ago BACK into the water to finish the job! I wouldn't give these guys 2 cents for anything in the future!

So let me ask you Taxpayers of Salisbury, just how much of this CRAP are you going to take?

Oh, as for those Idiots who dared me to come close to any one of them, I did just that and every single Fire Fighter that was there was VERY respectful. I got in no ones way, took up close shots right along where they were standing and left the scene. Thank you Gentlemen for being so kind.

What about FINES? I used to live on the Bay in West Ocean City and boats would sink every year. The SFD Boat has now sunk twice, were they ever fined???? Oil & Gas pollute the river and the fines are VERY steep! I want to know if they were fined the first time and this time?

It can also be seen on 47 & 16 News. I wonder how they got there? LOL

The Plaza Continues To Fall Apart

There are multiple problems with the Downtown Plaza but seriously, who designed these left over plumbing pipes and a wire going through it as a design? If you look at the last pole, it's bent and the wire is not only busted off of it, there was black electrical tape holding it together before it got ripped off here again.

The brick walls are constantly getting hit by vehicles and even the patio area in front of one of the restaurants is buckling and not safe. I know money is tight in the City, (why, I don't know) but either this is a place of pride or it's a junk yard in the making?

Perhaps Citizens can come up with their own ideas and designs of what they think the Plaza could look like and propose it to the City Council, like they did with the Rt. 50 Bridge going into Ocean City? It wouldn't cost the City anything and finally the people that pay the bills in the City could be a part of the pride with an end result.

Anything has to be better than what they did the last time with the place. What do all of you think about the Plaza and the future of it?

Who Does This Work?

I want to know who does this kind of work locally? I saw this the other day and thought, I want one done to one of my vehicles that has Barrie Tilghman all over it and says, "GOING SOON!"

Now I just need a local company to handle the idea. No, I haven't decided what picture to use but yesterday's Post with that orange colored shirt might work well, eh?

I'm Back!

It has been such a bummer lately taking pictures with my camera. If you hadn't noticed, the photos have been way off, until last night!

Last night I met up with my friend Steve at the Basketball Tournament and showed him how bad things were with my camera. He looked at it and agreed something was very wrong. With the push of a few buttons he had my pictures as sharp as the day I received the camera. As a matter of fact, it encouraged me to play with it myself and get the time and date straightened out on both of my cameras and now I'm good to go.

To see the difference, just look at the Rick Pollitt Post yesterday and then look at the pictures of the Basketball Tournament. THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

So to my friend Steve, (who is always there for me) THANK YOU!

Basketball Takes Center Stage At Wicomico County Civic Center

There is a great Basketball Tournament going on this weekend at the Civic Center this weekend. It's raining, it's a boring weekend, for $7.00 ALL DAY you can hang out and watch some great competition. I was there last night and it really was enjoyable. Snow Hill was down by 10 points their entire game and in the end, (right at the end) they came back to win by 10 points. It was an exciting game to say the least.
