Early start, I’d like to give that a check mark but the job that pays the bills got in the way. But I’m off and running now. Thursday afternoons are the greatest. It’s the beginning of MY TIME and LIFE. So let’s get this day rolling. Time to get my behind out of this chair and go snap some frames. Of course I’ll have to have the top down and tunes up along the way to various destinations around the county on this warm day.
I haven’t been down Ellicott City in a while. I left there the last time feeling down. Yeah its great to see it still standing but half the town is boarded up. That is sad and depressing when you’ve known this town for a long time. Almost like you have a close friend on life support. You go, you try to make it better by in this case supporting the few merchants remaining and plans for the future. But it’s also touch and go with this patient.
A brighter outlook.

But on my visit today I’m seeing signs of improvement in EC. Lots of hard work has taken place. People were on the streets. Few but some people. The place should have been bustling though on a day like today. My heart and support goes out to the merchants trying to make a run of it there. You are the foundation.
Step up and support the town.

I was also reminded that no matter the event, this place always seems to bounce back.

Yes the town is twisted. It always was thought.

Please remember to support the town on Small Business Saturday Nov. 24.
A town under perpetual construction. The human spirit on display.

Well, back to living and getting out from behind this station. Have a great evening everyone.
Random Thoughts of the Day
Its incumbent in all of us with our beliefs to only deal in truths. Publishing extreme material that is inaccurate or lies on either side or any perspective is wrong no matter how much you might disagree with the other person perspective. It just perpetuates till it ends with endless violence because people get polarized against one another with untruths.
You know when I’m much older and bored out of my skull I’ll have to go back and see if I’ve ever repeated a post title.
I got to speak to my Daughter today. And I get to see my Son tomorrow. Hey, it doesn’t get any better. Well it does when were all together but I’ll take what I can get each day.
Well, time for laughter and football and a few fist bumps.
