'Swim to Work' day

System

Look at your map. See that little dot at the top of the Chesapeake Bay? The last time I looked, Jeanne was heading for it. Think of me, y'all !(I can say that since we're South of the Mason-Dixon line.)

Not to worry Sam. Trade in your stilettos for swim fins and get your mayor to buy you a boat. Now that would be money well spent. You could even boatpool.

System

Great idea, Rita! But I'll probably have to get behind the boat and paddle - with the mayor in it.

Shouldn't one speak with a Southern accent to legitimately use the contraction, "y'all"?

Don D

I don't have a knob on my computer that allows me to hear who speaks with what accent Raymond. How do you manage that?

System

I'm multi-lingual with lots of accents. You should hear the Serbian one. Vait a minit! Vertz my nife?!

Or get out your Spanish flash cards and teach them a lesson!

Usted va encima del río sin una paleta!

Whatever

As it stands now, I'll be swimming home. Thank heaven I live on the 15th floor. At least I don't have to worry about the basement being flooded.

SMoll...where in MD do you live? We were looking at a few houses in the Crisfield, Delmar, Queen Anne areas.

System

You're looking in the Southern part of the state. Crisfield is an old, developing and a very pleasant small community on the water. It's known for boating, fishing, and Tangier Island. Anyway, Elkton is located in the North Eastern most part of the state. Minutes from Delaware and Pennsylvania. We are the midpoint between Philadelphia and Baltimore.

Don D

The 'Silk Stocking District'. Youse guys gotta have a pass to come through here.

SMoll--
If it makes you feel any better, my family keeps asking if I'm water-logged yet from what northeast Florida has gotten from the storms. I keep telling them it's a real good thing I grew up on the good old Eastern Shore so my feet are already webbed. My children have now experienced the Florida equivalent of snow days.

System

Yeah, silk stockings over webbed feet. We've always had it tough here.
