Firetruck Friday

Baltimore County Fire Department Fullerton Station, Truck 8 Aerial Ladder.  This picture was taken at the 2006 4th of July Parade in Kingsville, Maryland.  I couldn't get much (any?) information on the truck as they don't have a website with apparatus descriptions.

On a side note, this is also the parade where I first got to meet Maryland Governor Bob Ehrlich and his lovely wife Kendel.

You know the idiots that think they must be in the fast lane at all times.  Heck, you may be one of those idiots!

Eldersburg Throwback Thursday

Remember S&N Katz Jewelers in the Carrolltown Mall?  Obviously this picture was taken after they had closed.  I got into the mall while it was being demolished, with permission, of course.

I sure am glad the mall is being replaced with a Super Wal-Mart.  Which font is the sarcasm font?

Closing in Eldersburg - Radio Shack

I heard from a good source that the Radio Shack in the Carroll Station will be closing.  I am not sure of the date, and neither was my source.

As you may know, the store is in financial disarray.  They expanded rapidly, then didn't generate enough money to sustain that growth or to justify keeping them all open.  To make matters worse, they found that they didn't even have enough money to break the leases on enough stores in order to downsize.

Along comes Sprint.  The Sprint Corporation is buying up a lot of the stores and the Eldersburg store is one of those locations.

I don't know what they plan to do with the store other than sell Sprint phone-related items.  Now I don't know where one will get higher quality electronics, speaker wires, connectors, etc...  Wal-Mart?  Ha!  I said high quality.  Higher quality products are becoming a thing of the past as the lemmings of our brain-washed society shop at stores like Wal-Mart and purchase mass-produced low-quality items that are made with near slave-like labor by communists in China.

Firetruck Friday

Here's something you don't see that often.  The cab up on a fire truck.  This is Reese Fire Department near Westminster on Route 140 in Carroll County.  Rescue Squad 9.

Throwback Thursday in Eldersburg

Remember Romeo's Italian Bistro in Princess Plaza in Eldersburg?

Maryland Teacher of the Year and Someone From Maryland General Assembly

Maryland teacher of the year Jody Zepp, Howard County Executive Allan Kittleman, and an unidentified member from the Maryland General Assembly, possibly Michael Busch or Mike Miller.

Martin O'Malley: The Bland Guy

Check out these lines from an article in the Boston Herald:

"If you want to know what life without Hillary looks like, drive up to a tiny coffee shop in 
Concord, N.H., tonight and look for the bland guy speaking awkwardly to a handful of curious customers.

That would be Martin O’Malley, the former governor of Maryland. Chances are you wouldn’t know him if you tripped over him, yet he could become the accidental front-runner if Hillary Clinton’s campaign continues to implode."

Hahahahaha!
