Sgt. Slaughter Comes To Salisbury Today!


The Shorebirds welcomed Sargent Slaughter to tonight's Ball Game.

With one of the most instantly recognizable monikers of any grappler in history, Sgt. Slaughter is truly one of a kind. A former U.S. Marine, he earned his famous ring name during the service. Once he began his professional career, he would certainly solidify that name, intimidating adversaries and fans alike in his trademark drill sergeant attire. He was a top contender to Bob Backlund’s WWE Championship, and faced Bruno Sammartino in the Italian legend’s final Madison Square Garden appearance prior to his 1981 retirement. He was an NWA United States Champion, as well as NWA World Tag Team Champion with Don Kernodle. Sarge experienced a popularity explosion that coincided with Hogan's in 1984. Along with Hogan and “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka, Slaughter was one of WWE’s most beloved Superstars of the mid-1980s. GO HERE for the Official Website.

After departing WWE, he became the celebrity spokesman for Hasbro’s "G.I. Joe" TV cartoon and toy line, and even appeared on screen as a "G.I. Joe" animated character, further cementing his position as an icon of popular culture. He returned to WWE in 1990, playing the controversial role of an Iraqi sympathizer. It was during this time that he captured the WWE Championship from the Ultimate Warrior at the 1991 Royal Rumble and headlined WrestleMania VII against Hogan. Following his retirement from full-time competition, he spent some time as WWE Commissioner, and then went on to become one of the company’s most trusted and respected road agents, a position he continues to hold to this day.

May I See Your License & Registration Please?


This morning, while driving on the Bypass, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this individual crossing the very busy Highway. He was in the medium cutting grass when all of a sudden he took off across the road, not in an area in which I thought he'd be cutting.

As I was driving up towards his direction he was actually driving towards me in the shoulder pavement of the road???? Are these guys a part of SHA? With all the regulations out there towards safety, this guy was NOT following any of them, including common sense!

Life And A Can Of Beer

LIFE AND A CAN OF BEER

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar........and the beer.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."

The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things--your family, your children, your health, your friends, your favorite passions--things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else--the small stuff."

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house, and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented. The professor smiled.

"I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers."

More Information On The Wicomico County Humane Society

"Dr. Mr. Albero,

I was recently (a few months ago) included in an article about the Humane Society written by Joe Gidjunis of the Daily Times. Although we like Joe and found him to be a nice person, it was more than obvious that his article had been subject to severe censorship. Needless to say, the article was very disappointing. Linda Lugo was given the last word and the article ended with her false account of what really happened in our case and casting a shadow on our reputation as "responsible animal owners."

I can tell you that we own a rabbit and two dogs, one of which was rescued locally. We spend hundreds of dollars a year on a modest income to care for our animals in vet bills and grooming. Our dogs live as family pets, sleeping indoors every night, receive heartworm and flea preventatives on schedule, never suffer a cold or hot day outside and are never subjected to abuse or neglect. Even our bunny lives indoors and runs free and interacts with our children daily.

What I find interesting about the comments written in the blogs is how many Lugo supporters use the defense of "responsible ownership," turning the table and making the complaints look like what is really happening is everyone else's fault but the Humane Society's. I can tell you that I personally was blatantly lied to by Linda Lugo herself as well as several of the other employees at the Humane Society, namely Tom (I wish I knew his last name). My interactions with Lugo were completely downhill from there. She is the rudest person I've ever had to deal with. She made several empty promises that to this day have yet to be filled. Her ability to spew lies says enough about her character.

We took our complaint to several different levels, Comegy's included. Our complaint went no where. We have gotten no closure in the matter. I guess we never will. I can only hope that the community's awareness be raised for the corruption taking place at the Humane Society. The average citizen has no idea. As avid animal lovers and supporters of rescue, I would never attempt to bash the Humane Society as an organization. We wish only that all animals that enter the doors be found loving homes. I can only hope that someday it will be run by someone with respect, compassion and a little more "people" skills than the current director. It's very sad to think about the people and funds she has lost with her poor attitude (read the blogs, there are a few!).

On one last note, I read another blog entry that discusses in detail the treatment of ringworm and other such common puppy issues. I have information about a case dealing with a litter of abandoned puppies. The litter was not caught all at once. The first half of the litter was turned into the Humane Society, under Linda Lugo's watchful eye. They were "humanely euthanized" for reasons (given by the Humane Society staff themselves) being ringworm. Interestingly enough, this was after another employee tried to lie about the puppies by saying they were nursing with their mother (note: the puppies were abandoned!). Later, Lugo tried to say that the puppies all had Parvo. At this point, it's important to discuss the second half of the litter. Though it took a few days to catch them all, the rest of the puppies were caught by a good Samaritan. One had died in the woods, most likely from anemia due to the fleas. The others were taken to the vet, treated for fleas, were taken home by the good Samaritan (who also footed the vet bill for the remaining four puppies). She kept them for a few weeks while they recovered and found them all loving homes where they still reside (she kept one "Lucky" puppy). Even more interesting, her vet informed her that if the puppies had Parvo, they would have long been dead, and since they were all together, feasting on the same thing, the litter as a whole would have perished.

My point in telling you all of this, we personally know of 4 cases (including our own) where the employees at the Humane Society have mishandled animals. We know of allegations (from others) that animals are walking out of those doors for money being pocketed by...... well, you can imagine the scandal if that were found to be true. It is my hope that there is an investigation surrounding the Humane Society. For the sake of the animals losing their lives unnecessarily, we hope there is change brought to the Wicomico County Humane Society.

Thanks for your efforts to bring the corruption and lies at the Humane Society into the light for the public to see.
Sincerely,
Rae Murphy"

Dear Rae:

First of all, thank you for sending in this message. It should be known to everyone reading this particular article that I did get permission to publish it, including Rae Murphy's name at the end. It's VERY important people put their name to messages like this for credibility. Keep them coming Folks.

It looks like Internet marketers from around the world are concerned about my weight, health, home warranty, the size and durability of my, well you know, that my wife / lover is not satisfied or that I need a new lover or that my PC may be getting slowed down by virii from spam e-mails.

Maybe we need a new home mortgage or leads of people who responded to a spam e-mail offering a home mortgage. Then there must be a gazillion sources of "discounted drugs" whose prices all seem to be 10X higher than our local City Pharmacy.

Then there are the "political messages" from all kinds of wacked out groups, the one from our State Senator somehow got tagged as spam, all the political town hall meetings, on-line of course. Then there are the people either trying to "protect me" from terrorists or who may think I am one doing something 'bad' on facebook and need to be warned about the FBI.

This came in after deleting the ones above and writing a few lines but it reminds me:

Problems with plastic money? We can help

Who does not have problems with plastic money? Heck there is no such thing unless they mean my credit cards, which brings us to the blog spams:

bad credit cash advance advance bad cash credit loan payday no fax cash advance for bad credit

I won't even get into posting the porn spam names because they are offensive to even look at while deleting them.

The drag is sometimes posts go into our spam catcher and I find about 3 to 5 legitamite posts or responses mixed in with all the garbage.

From the tone of the internet advertising one can borrow money to bet at an on-line casino to pass the time while waiting for your credit card to come in the mail along with the life and wang extending drugs to please the lady who wants a man age 18 to 53 looks not important that reminded me we chatted last night and set it all up.

If you posted a comment to the blog and did not see it or think we edited it, sorry thats not our policy. We have been getting sometimes as many as 200 spam "post responses" an hour and I just hit the delete all button.

If we missed anything, besides that offer to deposit $3 to $30 million in my bank account or winning the e-mail lottery or "Dear Blessed Child of God" whom I trust with my departed husband assistant to former president of __________... Please let me know and post your comments here, hopefully it won't get caught in our spam filter.

SPD Positive Experience

Good Morning Joe,

I just wanted to tell you a positive experience that I had with the SPD
yesterday morning. I took all my children to the Boundless Playground in
Salisbury yesterday. I know that some of my fellow Mom friends have issues
with Boundless because of the homeless, drunks and drug dealings that go on
at there and are very leery about taking their kids there to play. Although,
I have never had a run in with either of these types of people, but I have
occasionally see them walk through. I noticed a SPD car ride by and he
stopped got out and walked over to the pavilion to check out what he thought
was one of the above lying down on the bench. What he didn't know was it was
my 17yr old daughter doing what she does best, because heaven forbid she
partake in activities that involve swings or slides..lol. He came around to
speak with us and wanted to make sure there wasn't anything going on,
especially while the children were playing. We all had a good chuckle out of
the situation, but what really matters is he took the time to not just ride
by, but get out and walk over. It really meant a lot that he was checking. I
know myself and my friend feel a lot safer going over to that playground. I
really wish I had gotten his name, so I wanted to give a special thanks to
him. I will also be able to let my other friends know it's ok to play there.

Thanks,
Trish

Maryland State Trooper Todd Is A Wreck


There was a recent article in the Daily Times about a Maryland State Trooper getting in an accident around 3:00 AM two weeks ago. Considering I knew the person he hit and admitted the Trooper was at fault, the more I learned about Trooper Todd's accident history.

First of all, let me start by saying, yes, this is the Son of Worcester County States Attorney Joel Todd. Secondly, Trooper Todd has allegedly been in 7 automobile accidents in the past 14 months. Of those 7 accidents, only one was rated not preventable, he hit a deer.

OK, if you think that's a bad track record, I'm also told Trooper Todd has also been in an additional 3 accidents in his personal vehicle in the same 14 month period as the on the job accidents.

This guy needs to be driven around in a limo for the safety of the Citizens of the Eastern Shore of Maryland! I heard through the grapevine after this last accident this particular Trooper may in fact lose his job because he simply cannot drive.

Who Needs You Anyway!




While these two Ocean City Towing Company vehicles were Downtown yesterday, perhaps people are tired of the service they're receiving locally and they're now depending on service from outside the area?

What I can tell you is, when this woman broke down, two gentlemen immediately came to the rescue in what felt like 100 degree heat and helped this woman into a local parking lot some 200 yards from where she broke down.

That's what I'm talking about Folks. I no sooner looked out my side window and these guys were pushing her along almost as fast as they could run. They hit the curve and once they got around the corner, momentum took over and she was able to cruise right into the parking lot.

So here's a hat tip to two fine gentlemen assisting a woman in need!

The PAC-14 Fiasco - Part IV ...

... Why Do They Refuse to Answer Any Questions?

Put simply - They Don't Want You to Know What They're Doing!

If the public discovers their true agenda BEFORE millions of YOUR dollars are secured, this whole deal will blow up in their faces. That's why they went around the board of directors, meet in secret and refuse to answer our questions.

Do you want a PAC-14 controlled by a group of people that not only don't share your values, but want to pick your pocket? Even if they claim it's for your own good? Read more ...

Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Irrigation Water at Mexican Farm

Remember a couple of weeks ago you couldn't get any tomatoes on your burgers or in the store?
Well American Tomato Farmers remember!
The Salmonella scare brought the growing, packing, shipping, buying and selling of tomato's in North America to a stand still.
Tomato Growers across the country were punished by not being able to sell their tomato's, thus incurring a huge financial blow to their industry.
Many growers complained that the standards set forth by the Dept. of Ag. and safe food handling rules including strict irrigation policies virtually eliminated American tomato growers as being suspect. Yet their crops were also included in the lock down placed on the sales of the crop last month.
Now, it turns out that the source of the Salmonella has been traced to the irrigation water of a Mexican farm.
Globalism isn't working folks!
American Farmers suffered needlessly!
We pay millions of dollars in taxes to finance agencies to protect our health on products that this country produces, and our companies go through the extra effort to be compliant.
Yet, it doesn't take long to figure out that if they move their companies across the borders the same regulations do not apply in other countries.
Countries that we daily import our fruits and vegetables from regularly use pesticides and herbicides that were long ago banned in the US. But we expose ourselves to these chemicals each and everyday when we go to the store and purchase these picture perfect vegetables.
If you have ever had your own backyard garden, some of your vegetables and fruits will do just fine, while others just don't look like they do in the stores. The reason is because there are a lot of little critters out there that will wreak havoc on a backyard garden plot if you don't apply certain things at certain times (whether organic or chemical).

We are daily contributing to bankrupting our own country by allowing these policies brought about through NAFTA to continue.
Strawberries from God knows where in February is wonderful, however, what price are we willing to pay for this luxury.

Question of the Day, Thur 7/31

What was your first car?

Year? Make? Model? Color?

Did you buy it? Did your parents buy it? What ever happened to the car? (wreck/fire/blowup) Did you like your first car?

The Stand Pipe

The Tilghman Times continues to go on a rant for Mayor Barrie Tilghman promoting the immediate need to remove or renovate the aging structure. Notice in their article how they strongly push the urgency of having this done. Want to know why? Because it must be done before Barrie gets out of office and that's the ONLY reason why. Barrie Tilghman will push items like this and PAC 14 BEFORE her rear end hits the doors on her way out.

Perhaps every property owner with tall trees should have their trees inspected to see if it could fall onto a neighboring property and cause damage as well? Heck, one look at the Downtown Parking Garage structure would put me in more fear then this old structure possibly falling onto a parking lot!

Keep your engineer buddies in business, is Barrie Tilghman's goal. $6,000.00 to do another study? How's that study on the Downtown Plaza working for you Barrie? In my opinion, it's all about the North Prong and her ultimate goal to get everyone out of that end of the river. Buy the land cheap, throw up condos and whatever else she could have ties to and or help support her friends to rebuild yet another area of the City as cheap as humanly possible. More importantly, get rid of the expensive stuff at taxpayers expense BEFORE she leaves Office.

You tell me Folks, what's the urgency all of a sudden? Am I on the right track?

The Webster v Albero Saga Ends

As noted on Salisbury News, the lawsuit brought by Salisbury Police Chief Allan Webster against Salisbury News publisher Joe Albero has been settled hours before the trial was due to begin in Snow Hill. Albero could not comment other than to refer me to the lead of his post:

"The Parties have resolved their disagreement on non-monetary terms."
Given that the settlement is on non-monetary terms and there was no mea culpa from Albero, it is a safe conclusion that he did not initiate the agreement. We can only speculate as to why Webster would settle this late in the game.

I guess that only Albero and his ever growing army of Joeys are happy over this one.

Perhaps Webster had assumed (or been promised) that the Salisbury taxpayer would pick up his legal fees. Miles & Stockbridge doesn't come cheap.

Given the current political climate in Salisbury -
  • Tax increases
  • Water & Sewer rate increases
  • A Mayor on her last legs
  • A Councilman who is a mayoral wanna-be
it's a pretty safe bet that the taxpayers of Salisbury will be saved from this bill.

What has Webster gained? NOTHING. Albero doesn't call people "Idiot!" as much, but Albero, and tangentially, I are more responsible for that than the Webster suit.

What has Webster (and Barrie Tilghman) lost? A fair amount. This is one of the few times that someone has stood up to the bullying ways of the Tilghman administration. Albero walked away intact - minus some legal fees.

Now Tilghman and her cronies are minus on of their most important tools - INTIMIDATION. What will happen when people realize that there really isn't much that she can do to harm them?

Can we expect more outspoken opposition? I can only hope!

We need to remember that Barrie Tilghman's lawsuit is still out there. Unfortunately for the fascist ruler of Barrieland, her suit was weaker than Webster's. It will be interesting if she continues her jihad against one of those "Dirty, Rotten Bloggers". She may be in for a few surprises.

****************************
P.S. -
Can we expect an apology from Bill Duvall and the rest of the anti-Joeys? Don't hold your breath. Expect these purveyors of non-fact to continue beating the drum for Tilghman and then the real trial.

When it all goes away, you won't hear a peep from these folks. No one ever said that they were gracious.

Willie Nelson Plays Salisbury






It was an honor and a pleasure to have been invited to the Wicomico County Civic Center and take some shots of a Living Legend, Willie Nelson. Ladies & Gentlemen, I have to admit, this guy sounds exactly like he does on the Radio. For those who were fortunate enough to enjoy the show, they know what I'm talking about.

The Civic Center offers Shows like this fairly often and in many cases is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be in a smaller Arena. Man, I'll never forget some of the concerts in the old Capitol Center. Oh, some 25 years ago I went to a Steve Martin concert/performance and we had the cheap seats. He said, to all of you ALL the way in the back, it's time for my disappearing dime trick. YEAH RIGHT!

You get my point though. Here we are with incredible acts like Willie Nelson and the place wasn't fully packed? There was one hell of a crowd, don't get me wrong. Nevertheless, for those who went and enjoyed, you got your money's worth!

If the Civic Center keeps sending us the info on concerts coming up we'll keep you posted.
