Hello from Virginia wine country!

My fantasy team name for about 10 years was the Felix Fermins. Because of the Omar Vizquel trade. We were the unabashed “other guys.”

We ran 7 miles from Rumbley to Frenchtown and back again this morning and at no time were we more than 4 feet above sea level, per Strava. Encountered about 100 feet of flooded road. Houses carved into the Delmarva saltmarsh. Beautiful and foreboding.

Another poetry reading, featuring …. this guy! If you find yourself in the Baltimore area this Saturday, drop on by the Pratt library at 3 o’clock.

Saltwater intrusion leads farmers near Chesapeake Bay to ponder ‘switch’ As winter turned to spring, Wendell Meekins planted his corn crop and prepared for the stalks to shoot up tall and green, just as they always had. That didn’t happen.

Maryland’s newest state park is poised to arrive in the last county without one. It will be called Wetipquin Creek State Park. I paddled there a few years ago. Winding, surprisingly strong tidal current. The old house is breathtaking.

Yep. That is the only non-Reagan national news the town has ever mustered.

I wish to point out an error. You said that there were two famous figures with connections to Dixon, IL: Ronald Reagan and Mike Marshall’s parents. Um, what about me? I was born there and then, although still an infant, got the hell out of there. #makeit3

Finally back from Florida visiting family over the break. As you can see, I participated in the official state sport of alligator dodging.

Got a special tour of the Salisbury University campus with my sustainability class. The green roof on the library may not look very green right now, but it lives up to the name in other ways.
