Viewing a planet where life exists
This isn't a picture from a newsstand tabloid. It's a view from NASA of a planet (near center in upper portion) containing life. Whether or not it's intelligent life might be debatable by some.
The picture is of EARTH as seen from Mars.

The Time Machine is a weekly feature I've enjoyed researching and compiling on The Pocomoke Public Eye since 2011. I have fond memories of growing up in Pocomoke City and welcome reader contributions we can share about things you've read, remember, or were told relating to our Pocomoke/Eastern shore area...a sentence, a paragraph, or more all fine. Just email it.

Worcester has new logo
(Salisbury Independent)
WORCESTER COUNTY WILL BRAND ITSELF ‘MARYLAND’S COAST.’ Worcester County has launched its new brand identity, "Maryland's Coast." The County Commissioners unanimously passed the rebranding plan in August with the tagline “naturally cool,” created by Andrea Vernot of Choptank Communication. The plan focuses on the coast to attract visitors to Worcester County, not just Ocean City.

Anonymous said...Willow Street was used for many dances and other activities in the '50s, including Halloween parades and costume judging. I remember one year Kenny Pettit and Milton Rutter decided to go at the last minute but they had no costumes. They stole sheets off their parents beds, Milton put on a wig and red lipstick and Kenny put some leaves on his head and they went as Julius Caesar and wife. They won first prize.
Typical of a dance, more people watching from the sidelines then actually dancing.
