Thanks for fitting my call in @juliemason.bsky.social

Been a hard 2024. Along with my Father (The young Marine in Viet Nam) we lost my Father-in-law (CBS cameraman in DC - photo of him with Kissinger) two dear friends - and a dog.

You MUST watch the Hudsucker Proxy @juliemason.bsky.social …you know…for kids!

Ok @juliemason.bsky.social - how about the Father Ted version of “Speed”?

Thanks for this segment with Jason J Dick @juliemason.bsky.social
My second son was born in ‘94. This year (2024) has been “Four Funerals and a Wedding”. High point was officiating at the wedding of the 2nd son!

@juliemason.bsky.social what a great organization! I can really appreciate the issues - born into the Marine Corps - 13 schools in 12 years (3 in a year twice). It’s very hard. I’m glad they do what they do.

Have to share this @juliemason.bsky.social from the Flight 93 Memorial - bee in flight among the thistles in the wildflowers- you can see the wall of names on the left.

Sorry I couldn’t share this earlier - driving home with you @juliemason.bsky.social

Thanks @juliemason.bsky.social - it was your bumper music that drew me in many years ago - love to hear The Boomtown Rats in honor of Sir Bob Geldalf - who likes Mondays anyway?

Update from OBX @juliemason.bsky.social the Red and the Blue are just fine. We kept discussions brief and fishing long. Their take - “ I hope he doesn’t do anything stupid” - our response - “no chance of that!” We all laughed. And then there’s this…

@juliemason.bsky.social I have decided to Facebook head-on. Having mailed in my straight D ticket - I’m heading for the Outer Banks with my longtime friend - who flys an “F* Biden” flag at his home.

No politics in fishing.

I’ll check in from time to time.

@juliemason.bsky.social first job was picking cantaloupes here on the shore - I was 12. So much for child labor laws - evidence is hard find.

@juliemason.bsky.social I voted for Alsobrooks but would not be upset if Hogan wins - my vote was for Dem control.

@juliemason.bsky.social I ran the gauntlet of Trump signs and Confederate flags in Caroline County MD to place my little blue vote. No such thing as an October surprise!

You know @juliemason.bsky.social - as an 18th generation Marylander - I’m still an immigrant. (1667 on the shore)

@juliemason.bsky.social so glad to have you back!

On this Remembrance Day…here’s my contribution from Shanksville.

Thistle, Wildflower Meadow, Flight 93 Memorial…

@oknox.bsky.social good to hear you in for @juliemason.bsky.social

Wasn’t James Earl Jones in Dr. Strangelove before Apocalypse Now?

@juliemason.bsky.social Dick Cheney was a frequent diner at a restaurant in Easton Maryland - Rumsfeld joined him from time to time. I don’t think the secret service worried to much about him - they let me serve. Goes to show.

@juliemason.bsky.social I put my name on the ballot for Town Commissioner of Preston Maryland on Friday. Election is Monday. Any thoughts on a rush campaign?

@juliemason.bsky.social

Think of those containers as trucks…
Each one locked to the one below on all 4 corners and then by steel rods diagonally to the deck.
The Dali is twice as long and twice as wide as the 2.5 football fields long container ship I sailed on.

@juliemason.bsky.social thanks for my day! Son of a Vet, born in North Carolina on Flag Day!

Once had to take a Steak au Poivre back to the kitchen because it was coated in pepper. Hard to explain to the customer so we just scraped it off.

@juliemason.bsky.social - my go to when I can get it!
June 4, 2024 at 7:59 PM
@juliemason.bsky.social my son Rev Josh tells me the FBI has confiscated the phones from the crew of the Dali. Shut down their banking ability and, having found nothing, are continuing the lockdown as a “training operation”. Can you imagine that unnecessary isolation? #keybridge
May 10, 2024 at 9:35 PM
Hey @juliemason.bsky.social that was my son Rev Josh on that news break talking about #keybridge and the Dali!!
May 10, 2024 at 9:03 PM
Wow! Banner Day! I actually didn’t mind listening to Rep Andy Harris on @juliemason.bsky.social today. Nice update on #keybridge

@juliemason.bsky.social & Sen. Van Hollen…Went out in the Harbor yesterday with the Baltimore International Seafarers Center. BISC’s mission is to serve the seafarers from around the world who find themselves in B’more. They gave Wi-Fi hotspots to the Dali- FBI took them.
My shot of Key Bridge…
