Granny's gone and done it again

Is this one of the side effects from that new medicine?
I would love to say no , its not. That it is muscle and the more I think about it I wonder if I fell in the hospital including the big bruise but, it wasnt hurting when I woke up and 30 min after that pill it was.
 
Whites, what is MD like ? I have heard it is beautiful country. I never hear you fuss about the weather .
Just like any other state, MD has some really beautiful country, and some just the opposite. The southern end is like IN (or all I've ever seen of IN); flat as a table. Lots of farming on that flat land. Closer to the Chesapeake Bay, you have the watermen; guys that make a living from the water. They're truly a breed apart, but great people once you've gained their trust & friendship.

Coming further north, you run into the most heavily populated, commercialized, and IMO, screwed-up part of the state. Worst of all is its proximity to D.C., with the slums, drugs, killings, corruption, prostitution; just about anything you would expect to find wherever transient people are crammed into close quarters for too long. It's a lot like giving a chicken 3 square feet to live in when he really needs 8-10. That's where I grew up, about 15 mils from the heart of D.C. That's where I couldn't get away from fast enough, and once I did, I never looked back.
The northern & western parts of MD have the scenic views you've heard about....mountains, rolling terrain, farms large & small, spectacular views; the area I've called home since 1973. To the immediate north there is the land of Sally Sunshine; Pennsylvania. The Gettysburg battleground is about 1/2 hour north of here. The Presidential retreat, Camp David, is about 20 miles to the NW.
Further west are the mountains; beautiful, wild, & not many ways to make a living. You farm, go north into PA, east to this area, or do without.
Winter temps are all over the map. I've seen 60s one day & 6" of snow the next. I've seen schools closed for forecast snow that never happened. Anything over a 4" accumulation calls for a run on the grocery stores for a run on bread, milk, tp, & cigarettes. It drops below 0* once or twice, but usually runs 20*-40*
March usually breaks winter's stranglehold, & by April we're mowing grass (or spring onions). April & May are normally the rainy season; June-September can be hot as the hinges of H3LL, but not constantly. 80s to 90s are pretty common. The killer is the humidity; it can be terrible; 80%-95% terrible during the day. By the end of September it's almost bearable again, & stays that way through mid-November.
