Found this well deserved shout out to recognize the great work of the Westminster Police Dept.
Every week I hear great stories about the work of the local public safety agencies; the Westminster Police, and the local Manchester, Taneytown, and Sykesville police departments, the Carroll County Sheriff's Office, the Md State Police, the Westminster Vol. Fire Dept. and all the local volunteer fire departments.
We are very fortunate to work with such great men and women in Carroll County. We should not take them for granted.

Uncle Kevin and Linus, the cattle dog, are having a quiet conversation about Brown Swiss versus Jersey versus Holstein. According to Linus, "Brown Swiss and Holstein are two of the best known cattle breeds in the world. ... Holstein and Brown Swiss actually came from Europe. Originating in the Netherlands, the Holstein cow is the best cow in terms of dairy or milk production..."
We added another grocery store visit, to our worldwide tour of grocery stores. www.buehlers.com
According to its company website, "Buehler's is ... a leading provider of high-quality food in Northern Ohio."
A company history reports, "Buehler's has been an independent grocer since 1929…
Buehler's Fresh Foods grocery store was founded in 1929 by E.L. (Ed) Buehler and his wife, Helen. ... Today, Buehler's Fresh Foods is still owned by the Buehler family and operated by its "third generation" from the store's Wooster headquarters." Nov. 25, 2016

It is a fascinating store that manufactures and sell woodworking products; much of which is of a patriotic, agricultural, arts and crafty, and religious theme.
The customers are predominantly Mennonite and some Amish - complete with horse and buggies outside. Another great bonus is that the clientele actually dresses appropriately to be out in public. And folks are respectful and polite. Just saying.
It is a really neat store. Almost like an art gallery... Perfect place to visit for someone who maintained his woodworking workshop and radial arm saw in the living room for fifteen years.

We had Thanksgiving dinner at the home of our neice Marnie and nephew Louis. They are rock stars. Dinner was awesome. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Be safe out there.
A shout out to those working today. Thank you. God Bless you for your service. 24Nov2016
Yesterday we picked-up our Thanksgiving turkey. Too funny - it says that it was "vegetarian fed." I, for one, am glad that we did not purchase a predator carnivorous blood-thirsty killer turkey.
It also says that it was a "free-range" turkey. Whenever I think of free-range chickens and turkeys, I think of the June 19, 1967 classic movie, "King of Hearts."
According to one media source, "This quirky comedic war film focuses on Scottish soldier Charles Plumpick (Alan Bates), who is sent to a French town on a mission to disarm a bomb left behind by the retreating German army. Plumpick discovers that the area is deserted except for the inmates of the local asylum.
The mental patients playfully take over the town and pronounce the soldier their king. While Plumpick is intrigued by the antics of the former inmates, he must stay on task and find the bomb before it detonates..."

Hats off to Hannah Brewer. Ms. Brewer, in her role as Miss Maryland, has done an incredbly great job of representing Carroll County and Maryland. We are so proud of her.
According to this well-written article by awesome Carroll County Times writer, Jacob deNobel, in addition to "her duties as Miss Maryland, the holiday season provides Hannah Brewer with another series of tasks. The nonprofit she runs, Hannah's Heroes, increases production of holiday cards, gifts and care packages to be sent to military members overseas..."
Hannah Brewer attended and made a great presentation for a meeting of the Maryland Troopers Association Lodge # 20. We were quite impressed with her poise, presence and enthusiasm

Grammy, Caroline, and I went to dinner at Asian Sakae in the Cranberry Square Shopping Center. I had vegetable fried rice. Caroline had Chinese vegetables, and Grammy had the Moo Shu Pork. Clay was not our server. Our server was Rachelle. She is da bomb. Asian Sakae was very busy. And it was epic to see Theresa, Tom, and Thomas Bethune at the restaurant. Fri. Nov. 18, 2016.
Uncle Kevin and Kenai Grace Babylon have not seen each for awhile and are excited to have a conversation. Wed. Nov. 16, 2016. Since we are both sick of the election, we talked about string theory. At least we understand string theory.
