Anyway, swimming is allowed there on the public part anyway. It is a gorgeous beach. Contact me at chesapeakebaywoman@gmail.com if you need more info about living here - I highly recommend it but it isn't for someone who wants the bright lights and shopping districts of the city.

We could have one big blog-a-palooza.<BR/><BR/>karen deborah - the only spray that'd work on these flies is a spray of machine gun bullets. They're bigger than rats. And that's a good idea about the name thing...I'll have to mention that to my mumma.<BR/><BR/>foolery - I have heard of the nettles that are plants, but around here they are long, tentacled creatures that prevent us from doing much swimming when the water gets a certain temperature. It isn't mint jelly.

I say it's because that's the way my grandparents talked, and I tell him to keep using it. Then he proceeds to tell me how nobody knows what he's talking about when he says it.
