Downtown Baltimore with apple

Helen and I, and her family went to the beach yesterday near Assateague islands. It was my first experience on an ocean front beach with real sounds and big waves. I did attempt to take on a wave ot two, only to be thrown about. Let's just say I now know what it feels like to be washed up on a beach.

Did anyone see the youtube debates? I thought it was a welcoming change of debate forum, and I'm excited to upload my own questions for the Republican youtube debates in September. It's too bad viewers couldn't vote on which ones the politicians would have to answer.

I believe that most politicians are so removed from the common folk that the fail to fight for what really matters to americans. I.E Healthcare reform. The politician all have excellent heathcare so I'm sure they've never been faced with that fear of a medical bill. I read in Newsweek an article titled "The Down and Out Tour" by Jonathon Darman which highlights John Edwards recent poverty tour. Apparently he lives in a 28,000 square foot home and recently sported a 400$ haircut. Hmmmm.....even though his poverty tour is noble, is certainly hard to connect 100% if you are living the priveledged life.
