ROTFFLMFAO for you "City Slickers!!!"

Population, shmopulation, what about density??? Onancock has a denser population than Bath!!

Onancock, VA: 1300 folks living in 1.05 sq. miles = 1238 folks per square mile. That's living azzhole to elbow!!

Bath, ME: 8042 folks in 13.22 sq. miles = 608 folks per square mile, twice as much breathing space as crowded Onancock...

You city dwellers!! My town, Bristol, has 35 folks per square mile, 2755 folks spread over 78.23 square miles, which translates to 0.05 peeps per acre. Now that's true small town boonies living!!

Rut-Roh, there goes the neighborhood...

[SIZE=7]Data confirms growing dead zone in Chesapeake Bay[/SIZE]

Associated PressAugust 20, 2019

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Maryland scientists have been warning of a growing “dead zone” in the Chesapeake Bay. Now the numbers are in, confirming their dire warnings were correct.

Natural Resources Department [data]('https://news.maryland.gov/dnr/2019/08/02/july-2019-hypoxia-report/') shows an area with little to no oxygen spread to 2 cubic miles by late July, making it one of the worst in decades. By comparison, July dead zones averaged about 1.35 cubic miles for the past 35 years.

The worst section includes the lower Potomac and Patuxent rivers and much of the Bay, from Baltimore to the mouth of the York River.

University of Maryland environmental scientists say heavy rains washed wastewater and agricultural runoff into the bay and produced oxygen-stealing algae.

Scientists fear it could harm crabs, oysters and the state’s seafood industry.

The tree usually wins all the time. :)

Unnerving to see things like that...

Over here on Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, 60mph driver T boned a car and killed a cyclist waiting at the crosswalk... cellie...

That’s terrible.

The tree usually wins all the time. :)

it was the way it was worded "versus a tree" that cracked my up

I know when I was down in MD this past spring they were having huge problems with all of the debris being washed down the rivers and into the upper bay. The Susquehanna looked like you could walk across it on all of the debris.

Well that was a nice truck,probably dropped his phone,that's all it takes..
