This and That

Down to the last few days of February and that feels both good and bad. Another month has flown by which always bothers me. On the good side the cold is starting to abate and the 3 seasons I love are around the corner.

Also, right around the corner is BaseBall. Little league fields to Major League ballparks. I need to practice shooting some sports/action shots, so maybe I’ll start with a few trips to Wallace Park.


Sunrise Inspired

Another beautiful sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean this morning. The water looked so calm. I can’t wait to be down there in person for that feeling. Most day trips to the ocean, I leave about an hour before sunrise so I can see it come up as I cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.

I think I’m going to pick a warm night and leave around 2:30am and get to the ocean before sunrise. Take some photos as I like to do at that time of day and then take a nap on the beach in the warm morning sun.

Wake and wander over to Happy Jacks Pancake house and get some calories. Cruise from Ocean City up to Bethany Beach for some DB Fries and more sunning before heading back to Ocean City for a light lunch at Saltwater 75 for a crispy shrimp po boy.

Back to the beach for a few hours and watch people on the boardwalk. I’ll catch a shower and change someplace and head to Fagers Island for sunset on the deck there while a light dinner is had. Listen to the band for a while and then head west towards home again.


Politics

With the US voting with Russia again the latest UN Resolution condemning Russia for invading Ukraine. It gives a whole new meaning to the Red States in America, doesn’t it?

I have friends and family on Medicaid. And they are the people who can least afford cuts to their healthcare. Giving tax cuts to the rich and cutting benefits to the poor, seems ass backwards to me.

Cuts to medical research and people who protect our food supply seem short sighted to me.

Control the media, control the message.

So many thresholds, guardrails and boundaries are gone that we have crossed over into uncharted waters.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
