I'd watch that. Love the clicking of the tiles. Even signed up for classes, but my library work schedule changed and could not go. My main library offers Mahjong and gets HUGE turn outs.

Watching Alysa Liu skate to MacArthur Park made me want to get up and dance and twirl with her. What Joy.

Wow just Wow. I worked for NGA for about 10 years in the 90s. What a vile, vicious man.

The venue feed for ice skating on Peacock is more enjoyable for me. No announcers and I can hear the music well. It's more of an immersive experience. #winterolympics

In Maryland, where the upper bay is more likely to freeze, the state usually operates three steel-hulled boats that patrol the estuary’s icy reaches.

Like giant snow plows, they clear critical channels for those who need to leave the harbor in frigid temperatures. buff.ly/knV22zI

Exactly. I gave up on the W.Post a couple of years ago. They want to be a national paper. Local news did not seem to matter. Now no sports? As a @thebaltimorebanner.com subscriber, I am thrilled they added a MoCo bureau. The paper just keeps getting better. Oh, and Go Os!

Who could not use a manatee today. This is a wonderful account to follow. Or watch it live at www.coralcitycamera.com. It's my Zen. I often watch it with kids at the library where I work.
