Gay affair?

[Verginius Rufus]

Supposedly the killer is a father who was mad because the judge ruled against him in a custody battle, so very unlikely there is a gay angle to the story. I don’t know how they know who the killer is.

“ Where does Western MD start?”

At the West Virginia Eastern border, near Morgantown. The question should be, "Where does it end?"

Anyone that can read a map can 100% verify where Western MD begins, how far East is still considered "Western MD"?

I’m not into the whole murdering people I disagree with thing.

Except communists, Nazis, Muzloids, Jacobins etc.

History has proven over and over that societal ghouls need to either be killed or live in fear of being killed - or the cancer kills the community at large.

Frederick has been the canonical answer for half a century. But 270 is bringing MoCo north and northwest.

Hagerstown is just far enough out that it would be a very formidable commute to DC. I don’t have a sense of how many people may do that. I’ve known people who commuted from Winchester and Harrisburg (just one, to be fair), so I assume there must be a few.

For all its faults, Montgomery County is still holding the line on development through its “Agricultural Reserve” in western MoCo. Preservation and anti-sprawl groups are also still blocking another Potomac River bridge, which the Fairfax and Rockville carheads desperately want.

As you know, the world here is divided between people who think DC is too big already vs. those who there’s money to be made in feeding the cancer.

Those kind of activities don’t remain in the headlines for long. If you want to see more of that activity just read a history of WW2 which covers the spies, espionage, assassinations, and sabotage which went on in WW2.

I lived in Hagerstown/Funkstown/Sharpsburg for 15 years then bought property outside of Martinsburg and lived there another 15 or so years. I commuted to the southern MD, DC and even Baltimore, the entire time.

She is going through a very rough patch.

word...

South Mountain is generally considered the line where The Wilderness starts.

Every time some liberal “army” swears they’re coming out to the rural areas I instantly think “ they’ll never make it over South Mountain “.

Western Maryland is less about geography than a state of mind.

Pedro.

Now there’s a nice native hillbilly name.

[Salamander]

Salamander is comfortably west of that wretched liberal infested pockmark of a town.

Ironically we call Hagerstown ‘Baltimore West’.

Hancock is where West Virginia begins.

Gundog wins this round.

Ya freaked me out.

Pedro...Jethro...close enough.

You misspelled “ ninth circle of Hell”.

They’re searching for a man named Argote who appeared before the judge that morning in a divorce case, with his estranged wife. Sounds like he didn’t like the way the case was going.
