If you can't bet 'em, join 'em! I'm gonna apply for a position to supplement my retirement, when that time comes. I can almost walk that far.
Help for Pier 450……

I wonder if the employee benefit package includes any organic compensation?

You may be able to walk to work but can you walk home?

I made a high water mark in my workshop on the workbench leg, which used to be a carport, and is at ground level. It got flooded last October during that storm just before Halloween. We had about 10" in there..our flooding was exacerbated by poor drainage issues, that I wish the County (Calvert) would address better than they have. In our case the easterly gale crashing over the seawall across the street coupled with the torrential rain filled up our fishbowl faster than the one 10" drain pipe could handle...even though the abnormally high tide from the easterly wind was probably a factor too. However, the water levels on NOAA's site reported to be only 6" higher than our driveway level, rather than the 13-14" we actually had in the driveway & house. But, if the pipe worked fast enough, at least some would have drained in between high tides. I hope that is a 100 year occurrence, and if so, I won't ever have to deal with it again. We've had the driveway flood before from the slow drain pipe...October was the first time I had standing water over the threshold inside the house though. Our driveway & street is 4 feet above sea level if I remember the elevation cert numbers.
As for the Pier450, we went to a wedding up the street in the Woodlawn barn last fall, and stayed in the little strip of rooms (The Quarters, I think??) with some other wedding guests at Pier450. We only hung out at the bar later on in the evening after the wedding but we had a fabulous time. Glad to hear they are able to continue operations as they hoped to.
Nothing can be done about the flooding we deal with...we're on a low-lying island and the flooding is always tidal.
We see differences, sometimes significant ones, between our NOAA-installed tide gauge and the predictions NOAA makes for our immediate area. But its better now than it was before they conducted the local studies and installed the local tidal gauges.

I am close to the Chesapeake Bio Lab..I use station SLIM2 frequently. We have figured out we can still get our buddy's sailboat off the lift at 0.91 above MLLW.
We have had both tidal flooding and rain flooding here...it back fills up the drain pipe and our street & driveway floods at 4.1 feet on the SLIM2 meter.

Looks like another one may be going in at the old Greenery on Mervell Dean Road in Hollywood.
I did run into Kom yesterday.
Is he hurt bad? ;-pI did run into Kom yesterday.
No.
He must have been let out to roam....I doubt you ventured that far in to the wilderness area of 7D...No.
In fact I did. Went to the Art and Wine Festival at the museum at Colton's Point.
I noticed that the razor wire is up today.
