Here's part 3 of of the list of 45 ways You Know You're From Baltimore!
19. You say "wuder", not "water". H - Two - OHHHHHHH!
20. On September 11, when you heard terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center, you thought they meant the tower by the Harbor. I first heard about it while listening to Howard Stern, so not in this case.
21. You know where to get the best crabs, crab cakes, and crab soup. Obrycki’s, Friendly Farm, Schultz’s.
22. You eat snowballs, not throw them. You might call ‘em sno-cones in your town...but the snowball machine was invented here and we know our Egg Custard from our Sky Blue.
23. Cal Ripken was your childhood hero. And I was 30, his rookie year, yet this is still quite true.
24. You're considered a Southerner when visiting New England, and you're a Yankee when visiting the South. I remember a pizza waitress, down for the summer from New Hampshire, saying she liked it here “down South.” I said, “Where do you think you are, Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Natchez?”
25. Distance is measured in minutes. We’re not much for miles and directions, but get me to the Beltway and I can take you to Arbutus and back again in 45 minutes.
26. You know when to avoid the Bay Bridge. Memorial Day to Labor Day, take an alternate route from Sunday morning through Saturday night.
27. Every one of your parents' childhood memories revolves around a Colts game. We used to see Johnny Unitas pushing his cart around the A&P. You Hoosiers see much of Peyton Manning in grocery stores?
Tomorrow, hon!

Thanks for the new picture of the sand. I remember writing our names and you quickly took a picture! Nice touch.
