Kent Island is overlooked from local coverage, as is most of the Eastern Shore. We had a tough day digging out but I've gotten to know most of my neighbors quite well in the last 24 hours.

The power company did a great job and the people here are rock solid. As they were sweeping out most of the water from the Angler's Inn, people were asking when dinner was going to be served. Gotta' love it.

I honestly almost called The Weather Channel twice this week; one of their anchorettes CANNOT pronouce the word "Chincoteague."

I couldn't begin to even tell you how she TRIED to pronouce it, more than once even! It's darned insulting to the public when they don't do their homework and have the skills and information necessary to inform the other people in the country, much less the the locals, of what is going on.

The second time she said it, all I could think was "Didn't she read the BOOK?" I mean, I didn't know there was a young girl alive who didn't read Misty of Chincoteague!!!

That's only one of many "mistakes" they made that really irritated me. I felt like I was getting the USA TODAY version for the "unwashed masses."
