Hmmm, could there be a market for a whole house water cooler? Ice cold tap water 365 days a year!

but Desean Jackson tho!

Is bunting banned in MLB these days? I'm a Phillies fan when local teams stink and couldn't believe they didn't tell the #9 hitter to bunt with 1st and 3rd, one out. The game was lost on the difference in fielding (Houston made their plays, Philly had some bobbles and errors).

Start driving!!! Maybe WVa panhandle? Definitely don't go north...

Spent an extra day in Deep Creek where it was sunny and warmish. Came home to drizzle and blah. Big difference over 150 miles.

10/10 day in Western MD. 60s and sun was actually warm while moving leaves. Needed to layer up while hiking because it was cool in the shaded areas but warm when then sun poked out..

I would also agree with Swallow Falls. It is a wide flat path and boardwalk getting to Muddy Creek Falls (with nice overlook area). The loop from Muddy Creek to Swallow is an easy hike but does have rocks and roots that you need to be able to climb over. My 70+ mom and 4 year old have done it. Swallow Falls also has a nice open area with picnic tables and a playground that we like to bring lunch and hang out. Deep Creek Lake State Park has a discovery center which is pretty cool and our kids love. There are several playgrounds, picnic tables, and a short easy hike right next to discovery center and it has a big parking lot, so easy in easy out. We will be up taking advantage of the extra long HoCo school weekend

You can "round" that to a perfect 32!

They are working out Desean Jackson LMAO. Might as well call up Jerry Rice and see if he has any gas in the tank.

Lamar will make huge money... somewhere. Look at Wilson and Watson. He is probably a notch below Mahomes and Allen, but I bet if he was playing on either of those teams he would be having the same success. If the Raven's try to cheap out, some other team will scoop him up. Did you see any of the WTF vs Bears game? There is a lack of QB talent in the NFL right now The NFL is no longer built for ground and pound. The play calling and coaching has been head scratching at times. The penalties are insane. The good news is the NFL has gotten the "parity" they so longed for, and other than the top 2/3 teams its going to come down to a bunch of 10-6, 9-7 teams figuring out who has the tie breaker for wildcards. If we get healthy and don't lose any more to injury, the end of the season might get interesting.

Easier to dig now with the ground pretty moist and not frozen. If you are digging down, check out something like this: PAVERBASE 20.04 in. x 36 in. Black Brock Paver Base Panel PVB5B - The Home Depot It saves a lot of work because you can excavate a lot less dirt, and don't need to haul in a ton of stone.

Should have brined last night! Rain soaked leaves in my yard currently. Was hoping the wind would blow them into someone else's yard

Anyone else near Ellicott City feel that rumble just now? Felt like a mini earthquake or something. Lots of reports of a rumble on twitter. Baltimore, Sykesville, Randalstown, Columbia.

Also ironic that the bungles went for it on 4th down and didn't get it, left 3 points on the field. Although I feel that superman could have scored a TD if needed on our final drive the way he was playing. I was kind of hoping they were going to run another play or two and use our timeouts to get closer, but Tucker delivered the goods regardless.

It was green until I went past Cumberland on I-68 and gained elevation. Garrett County has some nice color right now. Probably peaking in a week or two?

Sun is out in Western MD, first time I've seen it in awhile. Crisp chilly morning. Feels like fall.

"Fall" softball has been toasty this weekend and last weekend. Kiddos have been exhausted by the end of the game. Looking forward to some cooler weather.

Might be faster by boat.

@CAPEYou have any details on the oak tree disease? We've lost 8 50+ year old oaks in the past couple years and everyone is scratching their heads (had arborists out to look before we cut them down). UMD is supposedly looking into it but I can't find any new information on the net. There are at least 15 more in the neighborhood that I can tell are gonna go soon. The crown starts dying off and the only leaves are off larger branches/trunk. I do have a ton of firewood from it all, although I would rather have the trees and shade

I am in Toronto and it feels like San Juan. Crazy deluges then sun. Radar yesterday looked more like a tropical system than something you would expect up north.

Thought it was going to be cloudy today and went golfing. Walking 18 in blazing sun was a dumb idea and car said 90 when i was done. Roasted.

just sounded like a bomb went off in Ellicott City. No rain, just a deep, long, rumble.

Dang, swim team is serious bizness! Almost as serious as IMBY snow. My daughter started softball in the spring. Team was all new to the sport so we didnt win any but had a couple ties and the ladies had fun and learned a lot. Glad we were on the team we were because some of the others took it real serious.

Sunny, 72 and a light breeze in deep creek. Low humidity makes the house purchase worth every penny. Now I know why Washington vacationed out here .

55 and cloudy, great lake weather. /sarcasm
