  • Other weekly staples include boardwalk strolls, beach time, amusement parks, and free family fun events hosted by the town.

Weather

Expect warm summer conditions: highs in the mid-70s to low 80s°F (around 24–28°C), lows in the 60s°F, with possible scattered thunderstorms. Beach and ocean should be pleasant for swimming.

For the latest details, check official sites like:



Funny Poop

A man walks into a bar and sees a good-looking woman sitting on a stool. He walks up to her and says, "Hi there, how’s it going?"

She turns to him, looks deep into his eyes and says, "I’ll screw anybody, any time, anywhere, your place, my place, it doesn’t matter."

He says, "No kidding! I'm a lawyer too. What law firm are you with?"



Etcetera

  • Got Poop? Let me know! I’m going to try to get this out every Wednesday so if you get it to me by Tuesday, I’ll try to include it. Your input is appreciated.






Frank



Baltimore Ravens, let’s go

And put that ball across the line

So, fly with talons spread wide

Go in and strike with Ravens pride

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Dive in and show them your might

For Baltimore and Maryland

You will fly on to victory

Funny Poop

        Joe passed away.  His will provided $30,000 for an         elaborate funeral.  As the last guests departed the         affair, his wife, Helen, turned to her oldest friend.         "Well, I'm sure Joe would be pleased," she said.
        "I'm sure you're right," replied Jody, who lowered             her voice and leaned in close.  "How much did this         really cost?"

        "All of it," said Helen. "Thirty thousand."

        "No!" Jody exclaimed. "I mean, it was very nice, but         $30,000?"

        Helen answered. "The funeral was $6,500.  I                 donated $500 to the church.  The wake, food and         drinks were another $500. The rest went for the         memorial stone."

        Jody computed quickly. "$22,500 for a memorial             stone? My God, how big is it?!"

        "Two and a half carats."
