Double Whammy? (Baltimore, Woodlawn: house, to buy, store)

[Calvert Hall '62]

Having completed arrangements to have his home repaired/restored at Marco Island FL which took a direct hit from Hurricane Irma, my brother returns tomorrow to Md. .... which could receive a visit from her sister Maria.

Maria? She'll be okay. She was just angry that Chino killed
Tony. She even tried to destroy his house in Puerto Rico
but couldn't find it so she trashed the whole country.

[Calvert Hall '62]

Oh, it's that Maria.

Yep, that is the one.

When you get old, maybe you'll understand. Md. got nailed hard by Hazel in 1954 as well as Connie and Diane in 1955 -- look them up if you don't believe me -- the last two within a few weeks of each other, and one of those two was in October which was unusual. But as a youngun', they were fun. . Shucks, a Baltimore Oriole utility first baseman, Bob Hazle (sic) was nicknamed "Hurricane Hazel."


Hell, even when Isabella hit circa 2003, I took it in stride and that was prior to getting a house generator. Had to run up to the store everyday to buy bottled H2O.


But now, even when a regular T-storm is rockin' overhead, I don the old football helmet and get in the basement underneath the upstairs bathroom as they recommend.

Yeah, Aggie and she was a June 'cane as I recall!


SSA HQ in Woodlawn was closed two days and when they reopened, driving to work, I recall a small river running down Gwynns Falls Parkway.
