Clams are commercially harvested on the #Chesapeakebay. Razor clams are primarily used as bait for blue crabs in the Chesapeake Bay. Historically, softshell clams were the most abundant clam species in the Chesapeake. The clams are dredged onto the conveyor where two people pick the clams to keep and the rest are sent back into the bay.

Spent this beautiful morning running out to Bloody Point #lighthouse. Located just off the tip of Kent Island, it marks the entrance to Eastern Bay. The lighthouse stands in about seven feet of water. Close to one of the Chesapeake Bay’s deepest spots. Sometimes called Bloody Point Hole, at 174 feet deep and about 1 mile west-SW off the southern tip of #kentisland The lighthouse interior originally consisted of five rooms, one of which was located below the water’s surface. The first lighting was October 1, 1882.
According to legend it has been the scene of a number of violent events throughout #history. In the late 17th and early 18th centuries an attack happened between native Americans and British colonists.
It is also rumored that a French pirate was hung at Bloody Point. The lighthouse was destroyed by a tragic fire that nearly killed two crewman and left behind the hollow shell of iron that remains today. The lighthouse leans after a storm washed out the sand below. Despite a few unsuccessful attempts to fix the lean.
In the distance I can see the lighthouse from my little beach.

DMVs get demonized a lot as poster children for an inefficient, uncaring government bureaucracy, but I have to say that my last two visits to the DMV here in Madison have been really good. Today, I went there without an appointment to get a Real ID compliant driver's license, and despite the crush of people who waited to the last minute to get one (like me), I was in and out of there in about 30 minutes.

Are you coming to DC for World Pride? Do you dance tango? (Or want to give it a try?) We will be hosting a milonga the night before the Pride Parade.

Be Here Queer! Tango Milonga
Friday, June 6th, 2025
8 to 11:30pm

Join the DC Queer Tango Collective and the Cultural Arts Center and Visual and Performing Arts Department of Montgomery College for a night of social tango dancing, with live tango music! We'll get started with a beginners' queer tango dance class at 7pm, followed by dancing from 8 to 11:30pm. Everyone is welcome to our queer-centered space. We gather to celebrate, in joy and community, and we dance to honor those who have fought for, and continue to fight for, safe and inclusive dance spaces. DJ Alicia Michelle will spin the tango tunes, and we will be joined by tango music duo Arco & Aire, Heyni Solera on bandoneon and Max Wollam-Fisher on the cello.

Everything is free of charge and will take place at the beautiful Dance Studio (CU205) of the Montgomery College Takoma Park Campus, 7995 Georgia Avenue, Silver Spring, Maryland.

See you there!
