Well, if you know him.....and can find out if he needs anything, I'm sure everyone on here will contribute however they can.

I can find a way to get a hold of him, but do not have a direct number. We were neighbors at one time and that was about it.

Another friend of mine has a niece that worked at the Lighthouse, and she is fine...

It's great to want to help, but are these really the people who need it?

There are three types of people involved here:

1. The owners. Yes, it's sad that their business burned, but they have insurance. We can help them best by going back as soon as they rebuild.

2. The employees. There are plenty of jobs around here for good quality servers. The Lighthouse employees are as good as they get, and should have no problem finding jobs until the restaurant is rebuilt.

3. The residents. They also have insurance. The resident who was interviewed by stmarystoday.com was most concerned about losing his Ravens memoribilia. Are there any residents who actually deserve our pity? If so, we should give it, but these aren't poor people who lost everything.

It's a shame that this happened, but it really isn't something to be sad about. No people died, nobody lost their life savings, nobody lost their family heritage.

I understand that, but he is now "displaced" and probably will have a few bills he didn't expect to have.....I'm a sucker for someone in need. Figure if your place burned down, BEFORE the insurance kicked in, you've got expenses you didn't count on, i.e., clothes, food, somewhere to live. Some people don't have the cash on hand to be able to handle that kind of stuff. They live paycheck to paycheck.

I agree, and I felt the same way, but if your first concern is your Ray Lewis autograph collection do you really deserve any help?

Well, there was THAT, but that is probably the only thing he has that is irreplaceable, which, in itself, is sad. What about family photos, etc? Maybe he doesn't have that stuff for some reason. And he may have just blurted that out - you know we all say really stupid stuff when we are emotional.

Recent divorce. I wonder why?

If he lives in a condo in Solomons and doesn't have any savings, maybe he belongs in the LP city library running for delegate.

Sorry if I seem crass, but I am a verifiable a**hole.

You're forgiven. I can see both sides.

On the radio this morning, they were talking about the fire and ended the story with "charges pending," so :confused: curious if anyone knows anything about that?

Disgarded cigarette ignited dead leaves is what I heard.

That is how the one in P.G. started the same day and burned 100 acres, so they think the one in Solomons started the same way?

Careless smokers :ohwell:

Edit: Thank you Rose for the video. 5 million dollars in damage. :faint:

And I think if the ones in the condo's were renters (better then 50/50 shot I would think) there is a good chance they didn't have insurance.. Don't know of TOO many renters that actually have renters insurance on their household goods/ clothes etc..

And about the smokers.. I'm getting REAL tired of dodging burning cigarettes as I'm driving down the road.. i followed one pick up truck down 235, king cab.. I must of dodged 6 or 7 cigarettes out of the cab from Damons to gate three..

let's see if I had video, isn't it a $1000 fine for littering.. mutiplied by 6.. I don't mind people smoking, but take care of you trash.. look around at an intersection anywhere on 235, both curbs are probably 2 or 3 inches thick with cigarette butts.. friggin nasty azz people.
