Lead Lady

Frederick Marathon
This is the first woman in the marathon to pass my abode this morning. The weather is excellent for the race with a gentle mist to keep things cool

Cinqo de Mayo Celebration, etc.

Frederick.
The festivities this day have been grand. The entire downtown was in a festive mood. The runners competed tonight in the 5k and tomorrow is the marathon. Bars were alive with the Derby and what a race it was. Open houses dotted the downtown area this evening while live bands performed on the sidewalks. The weather was excellent as the overcast skies and warm breeze kept it nice all day.

Marvelous Mannequins

These lovely ladies were enjoying the open house at Vintage   They struck a pose for me -- my reply through the window. "You Look MARVELOUS!". 

Mannequin: Dumb and Live!

Noun:	A dummy used to display clothes in a store window. A young woman or man employed to show clothes to customers.

78s and old Victorlas

Hard Swimming' Fish

On the sidewalk. They sound pretty good. That is a dobro guitar he is playing and the fellow on the end with an acoustic base with a mike rigged up. Reminds me of Memphis Blues and a little of Lynard Skynard and a little Honky Tonk Good stuff

Tis the Season for Sneezin

This morning I awoke after a sound sleep and walked into another room and sat. I immediately sneezed and began to suffer from hay fever (only arrested with antihistamines.) I looked next to me and noticed the window was open and this magnificent conifer loaded with pollen filled my window. They say this year has been worse than most. I'll do without a spring breeze for a while I think.

Burger Tuesdays at OTT

Olde Towne Tavern -- Market St.
This is my favorite dinner that I get nearly every Tuesday in Frederick. It is a Blue Cheeseburger. This is discount night, and the burger is dirt cheap at $2.50 and drafts at $1.50.
