 The Hill: Dems push leaders to talk less about Russia |
| June 24, 2017 Frustrated Democrats hoping to elevate their election fortunes have a resounding message for party leaders: Stop talking so much about Russia. |
| Democratic leaders have been beating the drum this year over the ongoing probes into the Trump administration’s potential ties to Moscow, taking every opportunity to highlight the saga and forcing floor votes designed to uncover any business dealings the president might have with Russian figures. |
| But rank-and-file Democrats say the Russia-Trump narrative is simply a non-issue with district voters, who are much more worried about bread-and-butter economic concerns like jobs, wages and the cost of education and healthcare. |

For dinner on Wed., on our eating tour of Ocean City Md., we ate at Huggins Crab House www.higginscrabhouse.com at 31st St. 410-289-2581
We choose to eat outside on the rooftop, which worked out well because it gave us a great view of the sunset.
I ordered the Seafood Pasta, which includes over ½ pound of shrimp, scallops, clams, and mussels sauteed, and served with a choice of Alfredo or marinara sauce $25.99.
Caroline ordered Seafood Tacos, with Mahi Mahi. It included two tacos with a fresh vegetable blend that has been infused with a special Asian sauce. $15.49.
Our dinners were wonderful. The service was great. The restaurant was nicely appointed and decorated and quite appealing.
If you go, ask for our server, Sherwood, he was friendly and very good. We liked him.
Or ask for Emily Mitrovich. Emily is a Winter's Mill High School graduate from Westminster, who recently graduated from Salisbury University. She has a teacher's certificate in early childhood education and is currently looking for work in Carroll and Baltimore County public schools. Of course we encouraged her to to come back to Carroll County.

We are excited to bring this packet of information to you about
the upcoming 125th Annual Convention and Conference of the Maryland State Firemen’s
Association (MSFA) and the Ladies Auxiliary. The 125th Celebration has been taking
place all year long throughout the Great State of Maryland and will climax with
the Convention in Ocean City, Maryland, on Saturday, June 17, 2017 and continue
through Friday, June 23, 2017. This year the Convention Committee has been working
extremely hard to create more family participation activities as a part of the week-long
schedule of events. We encourage you to bring the family to the beach and experience
a unique Ocean City Family Memory.
We hope that you take advantage of the many opportunities for
informative presentations, networking with your peers from around the state, getting
additional training and education by attending one of the many conference seminars
offered, and getting hands-on-opportunities to view new product/technology at our
two exhibit halls. In addition, take some time to attend our Sunday Joint Memorial
Service and our Awards Presentation on Tuesday morning as we recognize the
achievement, accomplishments, and dedication of many departments and individuals
within the MSFA and the Ladies Auxiliary. Look for events marked “NEW” to see what
has been added or changed.
For lunch Sat, June 10, 2017, Grammy, Caroline and I ate at local Korean Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich in Newport News, Virginia.
We got off 64 at Rte 17 north, exit 259a. At the intersection of Rte 17 and Old Oyster Point Road, we found "Straight Outta Philly," at 12:15. Lunch took an hour. We left at 1:15 and resumed driving up Rte 17.
I got a Philly Cheese Steak Pizza. I am not kidding. Grammy actually got a Philly Cheese Steak. Caroline got the Korean Beef Bolgogi, with three Mondoos and no Kimchi. All of our food was quite good.
The restaurant was clean, well-lit and nicely decorated in a vinyl record musical theme. I especially appreciated several home-made signs that the server explained, were made by a local regular customer.
One sign explained that 'Tipping' was not a faraway Chinese city… We sat under a very large neon sign with the restaurant's name.
We always take a great deal of pride in finding locally-owned restaurants for eating when we are on the road. We like supporting local small businesses. More often than not, they have a story to tell, the food is great and the restaurant employees and servers are fun.
Straight Outta Philly was great. Our server was a local girl, who wants to go to school to be an ultrasound technician. While we were there a number of local folks came to eat, including two post office employees.
