    235/Hollywood Rd.

    Yeah... I couldn't find anything about this terrible accident in the papers, nor did I hear anything on the radio. It happened right as snow flurries started falling prior to last weekend. A friend at St. Mary's ER said that there were two with very severe head injuries, but they could not...

    Volunteerism - CRE style

    CRE should hold the musuem responsible for the damage that they caused. The musuem was just stupid. I don't care if they are cash strapped. Those on the board who support the musuem have a conflict of interest and should step down. The CRE board is supposed to represent CRE residents and not...

    Sobriety Checkpoints and Saturation Patrols

    I'll gladly wait in traffic for you to do whatever you need to do. We use the designated driver approach and have found the cops to be really courteous when we've been stopped. It is really sad to see those tagged with a violation standing along the side of the road in tears. Lots of time and...

    PAX getting ready for budget cuts?

    The issue is that... ... in prior years the cost of prosecuting the war in Iraq and Afgan was supplementary to the military budget. The proposed budget has the cost of those wars in the base budget... So... even though Gates has proposed a 4.5% increase to the exisiting 540 (approx) billion...

    CRE Are you ready for this?

    Lets see... based on the post immediately above, low turnout at prior meetings, etc., only the 10 people who regularly post on these threads care. Not surprising. Gee... I don't suppose it could be the typical nut-job faction present in every HOA, could it? Naw. No way. These are people...

    CRE Are you ready for this?

    Exnodak... I think it is more than being on the deck of the Titanic. It is laziness and apathy. There are numerous reasons for this and is endemic in society. People have to care to run for the positions. People have to care to vote. Those running have to communicate their positions. Your...

    Sorry... one more thing... central monitoring through their preferred provider is $6.99 a month.

    Burglar Alarm for the home

    The HomeSecurityStore dot com source has... ... stuff that will provide all of the remote monitoring features that you are looking for. However, that sort of functionality is quite expensive, and is not a trivial DIY installation (although the staff at the HSS is quite switched on and was...

    CRE Are you ready for this?

    "I still beleive we don't have bad people in these positions, but they are poorly served by their advisors and the documents we have given them." Yep EXNODAK... you nailed it... and I agree with your other quote... "There is also a whole lot of homework that needs to be done by anyone...

    Got this off the Baynet

    Hmmm... I see a big fancy building... in Leonardtown for administrators. I see administrators that make more money than almighty God. And yet, I meet teachers that are frustrated in their work, can't get the materials that they need for their classrooms, etc. And now, students post above...

    Recycling at transfer stations - changes?

    Curbside collection in all areas of the county... does not make financial sense. I researched this as part of a project for UMD, and it comes down to population density. Clearly, some areas of the county have the density for curbside recyc collection, but not all. At the time I did the...

    I told you not to butt heads with Dyson!

    I love the building. The disabled sailors that come to St. Mary's College every year to compete in the Special Olympics will definitely love the building. I always wondered if the stink related to the building was related to keeping handicapped kids out of the area.

    I told you not to butt heads with Dyson!

    The resignation is not effective until after the school year in 2010. I am sorry to see her go.

    It's a shame The problem for the deceedants family is that a criminal finding would have really helped them in the civil proceedings. They have a higher hurdle now.
