A couple of us wanted to find a place today to watch the game. We haven't been here before. Is it any good?

Well, you made me laugh too. It's been a very long, bad week in Calvert with several fatalities and serious crashes. We all need to keep a sense of humor nowadays.

A teen driver Car Control Clinic will be held at Patuxent High School during the August 12-14th weekend, just before the beginning of the new school year when many teens will begin driving themselves to and from classes for the first time. The program consists of a 1 ½ hour orientation session...
