Pyrrhic victories

   


     This weekend many liberals like myself will feel like we did the morning after Trump's election.  We lost the presidency and now we feel like we have lost the Supreme Court the second branch of government.  My reaction was comforted when I remembered the impact of Pyrrhic victories.
      So as most conservative Republicans now feel they can undo many progressive measures they maybe celebrating prematurely.  Future elections may move the needle in the other direction.  For every action there is an equal opposite reaction.

Everything you didn't know about private school parties

   Since Trump has come on the political scene we have had to learn more about sexual behaviors than most of us cared to know.  So it might not be surprising that his appointee to the Supreme Court has introduced us to some fairly extreme juvenile behaviors practiced by students at private schools.  Boofing and the Devil's Triangle are now terms that has many of searching the Urban Dictionary for an explanation.  Kavanaugh's efforts to clean up the meanings certainly leads one to question his honesty.

Columbia Association cutting down local Ash trees

      Disease has taken a toll on our ash trees locally.  The Columbia Association has started to cut ash trees down.  The Emerald Ash Borer is the cause of the problem.

The areas impacted by this problem are many in Columbia.  These pictures were taken along the path that parallels Dobbin Rd.  

Trees around Lake Elkhorn are also affected.

Got my Presidential alert--Oh nuts!!

Silly me I thought maybe he was calling it quits.  Now that should be what was announced.

LA Mart to move into Weis old location in Oakland Mills Village Center

LA Mart announced its 4th location in the space in Oakland Mills Village Center where the Weis store was.  LA Mart is an international grocer with foods from around the World.  Hope it lasts longer than the one that was in the Long Reach Village Center.  Plan to open is Spring of 2019. Dunkin Donuts is also mentioned as taking the space next to the Mart.
