Tony, this place is a ghost town after the end of April - you could shoot a cannonball down US1 and you wouldn't hit anything. Everyone leaves, mistakenly believing that it's gonna get real hot and humid when summer arrives. In reality, the weather is cooler here and the humidity is lower here than it is in Baltimore, Philly, and where Donny lives in Central New Jersey. So, finding you a job would be somewhat difficult, unless you travel to Miami or Key West, those towns stay pretty active year round. Don, ain't it amazin how the press thrives on sensationalizing the weather. Now they're all pissed off and condemning everyone for gearing up for a bad story, and those bleeding-heart, liberal, reporters were the very people that started all this crap in the first place. Had it not been for them, there would not have been a run on bread, milk and toilet paper at the grocery stores, and a run on snow blowers, ice melt, plows and shovels at Home Depot and Lowes. What a bunch of supreme idiots! Sure glad I'm sitting on the dock catching fish instead of paying some kid $50 to shovel my sidewalk, Gary

Don, ain't it amazin how the press thrives on sensationalizing the weather. Now they're all pissed off and condemning everyone for gearing up for a bad story, and those bleeding-heart, liberal, reporters were the very people that started all this crap in the first place. Gary Uh Gary, I'm confused. Even if they had been "sensationalizing" the story, how does that make them "bleeding-heart liberals"? My view is that they were only reporting what the meteorologist were telling them, disseminating public service information issued by the local governments, and trying to make sure that the public got the information necessary for their safety. If being a "bleeding-heart liberal" means being someone who cares about the well-being of other people, then I would certainly be proud to wear that label. Oh well, I guess everybody needs a scapegoat. I guess hating on 'liberals' is the trending thing right now. Jeez, every time I start to warm up to someone........oh well. At least you and I and Bill Maher agree on one thing....religion . chas

Chas, keep in mind that I worked for the Washington Post, the Baltimore Sun, York Dispatch and a host of other publications. I saw some of the crap they dished out each day, claiming that if they erred, it was always on the side of protecting the citizens from various everythings in our society, including the possibility of disastrous weather. I just love it when they got in front of a TV camera and talked about dangerous lightning, as if there were some safe lightning somewhere in the universe. People spent fortunes preparing for every damned doomsday that was created and publicized by the media, and each time they were wrong, well you know what I mean. And, yes, we do agree on a lot more than you may think, especially religion, but that stuff goes in the bar, and rightfully so. It's Five O'Clock Somewhere, bottom's up! Gary
