SM got an extra mention on the 4 news a few minutes ago. That I don't like, we're usually forgotten down here.

Its a changing sky in the hood right now, very dark rain clouds moving in.

I like watching Channel 7 with Doug Hill. Since he lives in Southern MD, he tends to mention us more often.

I landed already - the wind whipped up and I fell into a huge muddy area - had to strip on the deck before coming in the house due to all the mud grrr. All this time not one fall, snow, ice, etc.... and I fall in a mud pit lol.
