City Of Salisbury Horse Auction


To All Those Concerned:

After several meetings Jennifer and I came to learn from several different people that Chief Webster and Barrie Tilghman were absolutely NOT going to allow Jennifer and I to own and or even purchase "any" of these horses. "I don't care if Albero offers a million dollars for each horse, he's not getting them."

Bill & Judy Hearne respectfully asked us to step aside and not place any bid on the horses as it would simply do no good at all. We have respected that request as I wouldn't want the Chief or Pam visiting our home and seeing just how the other side lives anyway. (LOL)

It is funny to see and know they'll go to all these extremes and expenses just to keep Jennifer & I out of the Zoo, (Grandparents Membership) purchase land and even horses now from the City. That's OK Barrie, you'll be out of Office soon enough and we'll all make sure a proper Mayor replaces you.

More importantly Folks, I trust the Hearne Family and I believe these horses will in fact go to good homes. As soon as I know more information I'll let you know.

Mathias & Conway Are Off To The Races

Today at Ocean Downs Race Track they were holding/broadcasting the World Series of Horse Racing, (The Breeders Cup). Mathias & Conway knew exactly where to be as they made very sure that all the gamblers in the Club House were greeted with smiles, brochures, handshake, hugs and everything they wanted to hear from these two candidates.

It was heard throughout the Club House, "WE WANT SLOT MACHINES, WE WANT SLOT MACHINES!" Well, what you want and what you're going to get are two different things!

Since I used to live in Ocean City I thought I'd throw out some information 99% of you weren't aware of. Did you know that every Sunsations Store has an electrical outlet in the floor every 8 to 10 feet apart? I wondered why these people were buying out these locations like there was no tomorrow and building these grand stores for tee shirts? I finally asked someone who was helping build out many of the locations and he replied, they're doing it because they're banking on Slots coming to Ocean City and they want to be 100% prepared ahead of time.

That also explains why the current owner of Ocean Downs bought back the Race Track that was failing and then invested so much money rebuilding the main building. It was always well known that Jim Mathias was dead set against Slots coming into Ocean City. However, things have changed now that he's no longer there. Could he know something we don't? Could it be that Slots may be just around the corner but not under his watch as Mayor?

On the other side of the coin, could this be why he's running elsewhere because he wants to help prevent such a thing from happening? Oh, the game of politics, isn't it just grand?

County Executive Hopeful Charles Jannace & Son Worked The Salisbury WalMart Today







As Charles Jannace would hand out campaign pamphlets they'd sometimes find themselves all over the ground in WalMart and or directly in the trash can. I'm confident some actually stayed in the posession of some voters but when I asked one of the employees inside WalMart what their thoughts were they said, we've been picking these things up off the floor all day long as well as emptying the trash cans because their so full.

You gotta hand it to the guy though, he's out there giving it his best. Could it still be a day late and a dollar short though? We'll see on Tuesday. Little Charles was testing the enter/exit doors as he'd run in and out of them making sure they worked properly.
