Chris Wins Best-in-Show (again) |
|
Chris won Best-in-Show again this year at the Charles County Fair Fine Arts Exhibit with this barn picture. The barn is in the middle of the Antietam Battlefield in Maryland. The Antietam (Sharpsburg) battle during the Civil War remains the bloodiest day in American history. In twelve hours, 23000 people died on this ground.

Potomac Tides Takes a Pounding |
|
Saturday, March 8th, 2008

A combination of abnormally high tide and sustained 40 mph winds pounded Potomac Tides throughout the afternoon and evening on Saturday. The lattice work supporting Ralph and Alice's nest was ripped away along with some deck planks on the dock. A couple of large timbers that hold the sea wall in place were also snapped by the power of the surging waves. We have a bit of repair work to do. |
