We have worked our way up to visiting India, a vast, intimidating place for outside visitors, but also full of fascinating experiences, rich cultures, and of course, the unexpected.
One of the things I admire most about India is its utter frankness and inability to dissemble. India is what it is, all mass of humanity, colorful celebrations, crowded buses, dirty streets, polished temples, lonely beggars, spicy food, and hazy landscapes, and we are here to see it all.

Among the many odd treasures my house has yielded over the years is a copy of the Schenectady Gazette from V-J Day, August 15, 1945. Less interesting to me than the war stories are the ads, a real snapshot of culture and business as it was then. In the same issue with a story that said that most women surveyed wanted to continue working (as if that were going to happen), we have these ads for "girls" needed to work in such exciting careers as baseball stitchery! (There was also an article on how the end of the war could mean there'd be a world series that year -- so those baseballs were definitely going to be in demand.)
More to come. I've left this one in its original dingy newsprint color, but others will be retouched.
My name is John and I am the organizer for Clean Bread and Cheese Creek. Thank you for contacting me and your interest in volunteering to help clean up Bread and Cheese Creek. Please allow me to tell you a little more about our organization, anyone who is familiar with Bread and Cheese Creek thinks of it as a polluted eyesore. A stream that breaches above ground just East of Eastern Avenue then meanders a path roughly along Old North Point Road until it empties into Back River which in turn flows into the Chesapeake Bay. We are all aware of the importance the health of the Chesapeake Bay hold to all Maryland Residents. Those who grew up in this area remember a different creek entirely, one teeming with frogs, crayfish, and minnows – a place where many a child spent long summer days happily playing. It is my goal to bring back that stream, not for me, not just for the residents that live along it, but for everyone who reaps the benefits of the Chesapeake Bay. We are a group of volunteers working with the community, Baltimore County Environmental Protection and Resource Management and the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay as well as other organizations to clean up Bread and Cheese Creek.
We have scheduled a maintenance clean-up for the section of Bread and Cheese Creek between Merritt Boulevard and Plainfield Road for Saturday, November 6th from 8 AM - 2 PM.
Please mark your calendars! We have confirmed Saturday, April 2, 2011 at 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM, Rain or Shine, as the day and time we clean up the stream in the section just before Old North Point Road and continuing eastward. ANY time you can give to helping us out is more than appreciated. We are continuing with this section since it has many elderly residents along the stream in this section who are not capable doing it themselves. We are also investigating the possibility of holding a September “maintenance” clean-up on the section we cleaned last year (Merritt Boulevard to Plainfield Road). We are currently trying to secure a donation of dumpsters for this date
The Final Tidal Back River Stakeholder Meeting was held on January 27th and the Small Watershed Action Plan (SWAP) for Tidal Back River was presented. The engineering firm of Parsons Brinkerhoff who performed the watershed survey for DEPRM noted Bread and Cheese Creek as one of the most polluted tributaries draining into Back River and the Chesapeake Bay! This should be a call to action for everyone as to how badly the stream needs our help!
Remember, there plenty of ways for volunteers to participate. We will need every type of person of every ability level to contribute and assist with the Clean Up. Though it is true we will need people to dig out shopping carts and haul trash to the dumpsters, we can use people to run water, food, tools, and trash bags (both empty and full) to individuals in the creek. People to sort recyclables from the debris removed. People will be needed to work the grills as well as many other less strenuous activities. We are also authorized to sign-off on Community Service and Service Learning Hours for students. The more people we have, the easier the work will be for everyone. Please feel free to pass this information on to other who might be interesting in helping as well. As my grandfather always said, “Many hands makes the work light”
We had a great start to getting the stream cleaned up over the past two years and I am sure we can continue with our momentum in 2010 and 2011!

Our Second Clean-up took place on Saturday, April 10, 2010. We had a great turn out and removed on heck of a lot of trash and debris from the creek! We all know giving up part of one’s weekend is a big sacrifice, and it is truly appreciated. It is appreciated not only by me, but the residents along the section of Bread and Cheese Creek we cleaned, by Back River where the stream empties, and by the Chesapeake Bay were all these waters eventually flow.
Everyone worked hard, they put their backs in to it and dug out shopping carts, they used their personal vehicles to haul trash from the shopping center area, the pushed wheel barrels full of junk, they waded into the chilly waters and the entire time everyone laughed and smiled. Some people were only able to stay for a few hours, others arrived before 7 AM and left after 5 PM, but everyone was wonderful help, and all help was appreciated.
I cannot say enough good things about this fantastic group of people. I hope to see them all at the next stream clean –up because I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to work with.
Anyone can see the huge difference before and after the cleanup. Four thirty yard dumpsters were filled, two with trash, two with metal and huge stacks of natural debris were all removed from the creek. Some of the more noteworthy debris included three hundred and two bags of trash, twenty-two shopping carts, seventeen tires, six bicycles, four skateboards, two porcelain sinks, a bath tub, an industrial cable spool, a swing set, and a boogie board...

The third image of my latest project. This was taken at the conclusion of today's work. As you can see, the ship is continuing to grow in length and now has its large frigate bay doors installed. Next step involves extending the sidewalls and anchoring the doors on the other side. Stay tuned for more details and progress.
Bridget wanted to get some food and I confidently informed her that the Buttery was open 24 hours.
We got there and it was closed.
Ended happily, though, 'cause we went to the little chicken & fish place next door and it was delicious. Since then, I've noticed that the Buttery hasn't been lighting the '24 hrs' part of their sign, so maybe they're just not open 24 hours anymore?

What is there that is so confusing about creating jobs in America? While there seems to be a shared agreement between both parties that it is politics that is keeping America in a state of economic regression, it is not true. The truth about the economy is that Americans have been suffering from economic depression because of the mainstream media's constant lies. There is nothing wrong with America that a job application could not remedy. The problem, however, is that most Americans have bought the B.S. spooned out in medical-size doses about the "sad shape" of America, discouraging the majority of unemployed Americans from even getting dressed in the morning to hit the pavement in search of a job.
One of the boots made for walking is in sight--the other will be in view in November when millions of Democrats will be walking...toward a Conservative plan for economic success and lower taxes. Boots, made for walking toward a new American spirit
