There's that place you drive by when you're coming home with a bag of crabs. It's called "Pop's" or "Pete's" or "Pop 'n' Pete's" and while you'd never dare park and stop in for a cold one, you wonder a little what goes on inside that door with the big "All Who Enter Must Be 21 This Means YOU" sign. This is what goes on there. Go on home.
There is something interesting about an abandoned house. Meals were cooked and eaten. homework was done, people had their hearts broken and then filled with joy, and the parade of life continued until they all moved out. If those walls could talk...
The Aurora Borealis did not appear over the sky in Baltimore this time; it was cloudy and rainy, and so we got to see and share photos from those who did see it live and in color.
This purple lake in Iraq would be a perfect place for Ravens fans to celebrate winning the Super Bowl this coming season, except for the part about it being in Iraq.
A field in the early evening. Might be a good screen saver, no?
Proving that commerce knows no boundaries, a Chinese man has set up a mountainside supply store 100 meters in the air for climbers to buy what climbers need to buy.
Baltimore took a big step this week toward reopening the shipping channel that leads to our harbor. Since the crash of the great container vessel Dali that knocked down our bridge on March 26, we've gotten love and support from all over. The other evening, explosives were set off, breaking the bridge into manageable pieces, allowing salvors to raise and remove the damaged ship. By the end of the month, shipping activities should be back to normal. Replacing the bridge will take years, and billions of dollars.
When the city of Seaside California pulled a zoning regulation and ordered local resident Etienne Constable to conceal the boat in his driveway, he built a fence and showed them all how to park their regulations!
This is either a) a fur coat from South Siberia from the 3rd or 4th century, or the latest in the fall line from Urban Outfitters. Answer is a) but we could believe b).
We call Maryland "America in Miniature" because we have everything except a desert. But looking at a flat map, we don't envision the topography of our wonderful state. It's flat down by the ocean and the bay, and then the farther west you go, it's rather mountainous out where the Steeler fans live.

What do you suppose makes the water purple? And the topographical sculpture is fascinating.
I always think the same thing about abandoned houses. The stories they could tell….
Same thoughts when walking through an old abandoned barn. Nostalgic, a little sad, maybe? As to the store for mountain climbers….oh, hell no!
