Before & After



Randy Taylors Building has become even worse than before. Maybe someone should ask if Barrie Tilghman has had the Taylor's fined yet or not because they're not doing anything to fix the window. I even mentioned to Art Webster that he better watch out while he was walking outside with the high winds today, this material could fall on someone's head!

Before & After

Poll Question #6


Do you think the chief of police and other emergency personnel should live
within city limits
within county limits
outside county limits
  

Global Warming?



Here it is, 11-16-06 and I'm still growing and picking tamateras, (tomatoes) off the vines?

Another Murder In Salisbury


I'm not going to get into the complete story on the most recent murder in the City of Salisbury but I am going to direct everyone back to the photos in the Daily Times and the Crime Scene photos of the Detectives there the following morning.

What I find most interesting is, where was Chief Webster? My money says he was enjoying his residence, a place called Ocean City, Maryland. Did he make the drive back to Salisbury that evening to be a part of a very serious crime? Where was he the following morning?

The infamous suit and tie man, (IMO) can't play a respected roll in the Salisbury Police Department when he's never around when the "serious" crimes are going on. In all honesty, I'm really not trying to pick on the man. I simply find it ironic that he lives more than 30 miles away and I'll simply assume he responds with, I have full confidence in my Detectives and Officers.

That's why the City of Salisbury is the 20th most dangerous City in AMERICA! Let me see now, has there even been a murder in the past year in Delmar? We are right next door to Salisbury! You build the apartments, condos and so forth and criminals will come, it's just a proven fact.

What do you call it Barrie Tilghman, Mike Dunn & Gary Comegys, "Smart Growth?" I call it tax greed and Idiots.

What's Wrong With This Picture?


Buryvoter was heading into work this morning when he came across this irresistible opportunity to take this photo.

Please do NOT do this at home, or in your car. LOL

The Very First Sassafras City Council Meeting

http://www.sbynews.com/video/sassy2.wmv Ladies & Gentlemen, this is a must see! We have gone through great lengths to present this video for you and I am asking that you take the time and see just how corrupt the City of Salisbury truly is.

You can blame things on the past Council or you can realize this Council was very aware of the deals made to go forward with this illegal project. Either way, this video will prove there will NOT be any annexation, (not legally anyway) if the citizens take them to task on it.

Please note that this was an "EMERGENCY MEETING" that was completely unnecessary. Enjoy!

Two Adult Eagles & Two Baby Eagles In Delmar


























It doesn't get any better than this Folks! Yesterday I was blessed enough to have the opportunity to take numerous pictures of this family of Eagles less than a mile from my home in Delmar. We played a game of cat and mouse for hours as I could tell I wasn't welcome but they could tell I wasn't there to hurt them.

This is the reason some pictures are better than others. I do have more to share if Blogger doesn't keep giving me a hard time? I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them. Have a great day!

Git-R-Dun

Hello, is this the Sheriff's Office?"

"Yes. What can I do for you?"

"I'm calling to report 'bout my neighbor Virgil Smith.... He's hidin' marijuana inside his firewood! Don't quite know how he gets it inside them logs, but he's hidin' it there."

"Thank you very much for the call, sir."

The next day, the Sheriff's Deputies descend on Virgil's house. They search the shed where the firewood is kept. Using axes, they bust open every piece of wood, but find no marijuana. They sneer at Virgil and leave.

Shortly, the phone rings at Virgil's house.

"Hey, Virgil! This here's Floyd.... did the Sheriff come?"

"Yeah!"

"Did they chop your firewood?"

"Yep!"

"Happy Birthday, buddy!"

(Rednecks know how to Git-R-Dun)

East Salisbury Park & Ride















Although last night was slow in this Parking Lot, I've had to travel into that end of Salisbury in the evening fairly often lately and there have been 8 to 10 cars parked there at night.

They seem to have people sitting in these cars and I don't care what anyone thinks, no one belongs in that parking lot after 7:00 p.m. period.

I've passed by there at 9:00 p.m. and seen quite a few vehicles and not one Police Officer. One can only guess as to what is actually going on in that parking lot but it ain't good!

If the Salisbury Police Department actually wanted to make changes for the better in Salisbury you'd see an Officer parking there and writing up their daily reports from that location. That will cut out the criminal activities that have been known to go on there.

Oh, then again, wasn't it a Police Officer/Spouce that was nailed there one time for having sex with a partner? I thought I heard his spouse was the radio dispatcher too and that's how she found out her husband was cheating on her? The Officer actually called it in not realizing the suspect was the Dispatchers husband.

The Old Salisbury Mall Meeting Last Night





















Although the crowd was slim last night, many good questions were asked and answered as well as many good suggestions were made to the developers.

Unlike ANY City Council Meeting, you could ask a question and it would have an immediate answer. If only the City cared about its taxpayers like the Mall Owners care about what you think, Salisbury might just become a better place to live?

And then I woke up!

A Great Place For Black Friday Shopping!

Beach Boy Or Council President?















It seems to me that anyone is this position would hold enough respect for the Citizens of Salisbury, (especially those who voted for him) would respect this position enough to get a haircut and certainly wear a tie.

Gary Comegys comes to each and every Council Meeting setting a fine example of how to dress as a Gentleman and respects his position to such a level.

Mike Dunn is more like the Randy Taylor Beach Boy look, even to the point he wears shorts and sandals to these meetings because he knows he can get away with anything he wants, he's a FOB.

I would like to see Mike Dunn, (I'll use the term Mr. Dunn when he starts showing some class) dress the part and show some respect. If you as a Council are demanding anyone who wants a tax exemption from a manufacturing company actually show up to these meetings physically, then wear a suit and tie, (even if it only cost you $4.00) and earn that respect. In the mean time, you're #1 Mikey.

By the way Mike, if you need a Hairdresser, I hear Charles Jannace has one available with a new opening.

911 Camden Avenue





















The Forbes Family simply can't take it any more. "Please just buy us out and we'll move on peacefully."

With all the out of control developing going on, 911 Camden Ave. became subjected to very poor planning and the runoff from every property around ends on this property. Most of the water that ends up there is what they call, "black water." This is water run off from the roads and is very unhealthy. It kills all the grass and plants very quickly. Their Insurance Company refuses to cover anything any more because of the massive damage it causes in flooding some 4 times a year.

"No Real Estate Company will touch our property, it's worthless." The City Council put on their smiley faces and because they knew this was in fact televised, they couldn't treat this poor family as harsh as they have off camera.

The Forbes produced photographs proving the water had gone up some 8 feet high into their garage, which they finally had to tear down because it became so rotted. The mold and mildew levels are so bad that the black mold has grown all the way into their attic! That's bad Folks!

If you see ANY black mold in your home I strongly suggest you get your Insurance Company in there right away before it spreads too far. I believe the Insurance Companies in Maryland will only cover up to $5,000.00 in repairs and trust me, that mold can grow so fast it isn't funny! Once it gets started it's very difficult to stop.

Most people who have mold in their home can't seem to smell it unless they get away from that property for several days and when they return it becomes very evident. Then they get used to it all over again and forget it's there. This mold can kill people, especially the elderly. It attacks the immunity system and it's down hill from there. People can get respiratory problems, nasal passage problems and can get colds and other illnesses very easily.

My suggestion to the Forbes Family is, expose this to the Press as often as possible and let it go to the Court of Public Opinion! If the City would have to spend some $2,000,000.00 for pipes that won't work anyway, the City should buy their home at a fair market value and tear the home down and put a park/playground there.

As Soon As Kim Hudson Left, Look What Happened!


This is pitiful! This is exactly what Barrie Tilghman, Mike Dunn, Gary Comegys & Lynn Cathcart want, an empty room with people who not only don't care, they want less and less public comment so they can rubber stamp anything and everything without looking bad.

They'll come back every time and say, well, if you were so concerned, why weren't you at the meeting? I'll have to agree with them.

Kim Hudson Day















I must admit, there are days, (rare as they may be) when I attend a City Council Meeting and walk away thinking, that was really cool. Kim Hudson, (Mother of 2 children) took it upon herself to make a difference in Salisbury and made sure the Winter Wonderland of Lights were turned on and paid for.

Although the Mayor was supposed to present this Proclamation, she was conveniently on the Western Shore and never did make the meeting at all. I'm sure the egg in her face for slamming down the Winter Wonderland of Lights last year, (hoping it would never return) was enough for her to probably sit in Brew River slamming several drinks and watching PAC 14 from a Bar Stool like she used to do.

Mike Dunn said, I believe the Mayor is on the Western Shore for a legitimate business meeting. Nevertheless, thank you Kim, you're a fine woman/citizen/mother/wife and Salisbury can use quite a few more just like you.

Folks, on November 25th at 4:00 p.m. they will officially turn on the lights. Don't miss it.

You're #1 Joe


I remember taking speech class back in High School where they taught you to stop saying, ummmm, a, a, a, a, know what I mean, things along that line.

I don't think it took any class to teach us NOT to use our middle finger ANYWHERE but this Council and Mayor get a real kick out of using it on a regular basis.

The question is, rather than a speech class, is there such a thing to teach "CLASS" and not use the middle finger?

Obviously I've not needed it and or been referred to it but I'm reaching out for help here.

Thanksgiving


Where will you be this Thanksgiving?
