Boater’s Safety Course Calvert County

There are a number of places to go for a Boater’s Safety Course. I believe the College of Southern Maryland and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources offer a course. I am partial to the Coast Guard Auxiliary courses since I belong to that organization. Regardless of who you choose consider sitting in a classroom and taking the course from a human instructor instead of taking the course online.

The courses can be taken on line and some people may prefer it.  There is however a tremendous advantage to benefiting from the personal experience of qualified instructors and other students.

Boating is not as easy as it looks. People die making bad decisions. The benefits are that in a classroom you hear anecdotal examples of safe behavior and learn from the bad behavior of others. You don’t just regurgitate facts on a test.

The Auxiliary’s course starts in February so it is well under way. Another will be given later in the year. Sign up for a classroom course if you can. It will make a difference.

Restaurant Rating Criteria – Poor Customer Service in Restaurants

We enjoy rating the places we visit. We have our own standards on our review pages that you may find entertaining. Southern Maryland has a number of very good restaurants. The good ones have been around for a long long time. We have a number on our list to visit as we have time and discretionary income.

Weather Service Sky Warn Training

This is worthwhile. I took the training last year though I am still waiting for my Sky Warn number. You learn to recognize the serious weather that we experience in Southern Maryland.  The class is taught by trained NOAA weather professionals. It is an activity the entire family would enjoy. I saw elementary grade, junior high, college age, and older folks like myself there. My hat is off to St, Mary;s County emergency planners for hosting the class I attended last year.

Economy Good News

Wouldn’t it be nice to find one place where you could read about good economic news. It would be nice to have a pleasant place to work again as well. I think I speak for quite a few folks. I’ve written one article on good news. Perhaps we need more.

Celtic Festival of Southern Maryland

Yes! Get ready. It is coming. See our calendar over in the right column. My spouse and I go every year. She goes for the fiddle music and I go for the bag pipes.

Main Street Cafe Prince Frederick

Glad to see more folks are searching for this unique little coffee/sandwich shop in Prince Frederick. We reviewed this great place. Hope you have a chance to visit. 

The912Project.com

I am a big fan of Glenn Beck. It would be nice to have a 912 group right here in Calvert County. Not a disguised group of Republicans or Democrats but a group of common-sensitives focused on finding solutions to problems and acknowledging that principles and values are needed to find solutions. The bulletin board here at DougWeb is offered as a place to meet on line.

Calvert Cliffs Public Hearings

I believe in nuclear power and support the new reactor. Local folks are concerned and rightly so. Other than pointing out public meetings I have not written on this topic but it sure can be discussed on the bulletin board.

Twitter Calvert County

There don’t appear to be too many of us. At least I have not found very many. It is a very unique service and has great potential and value at the moment. Twitter folks work very hard to keep the Twitterverse safe from spammers. I follow local news at CalvertNews.info, SOMD.com, and WUSA TV.

PopularWireless

My other two-way radio website that deals with GMRS and other radio services.

Portside Restaurant and Bar Galesville

I cannot believe how popular searching for this new restaurant is. We have not been there yet. A relative said it is very busy at night, mostly on the upper deck. We hope it is more than just a bar.

Adidas and Graffiti

Sad how Adidas marketing folks have embraced the vandalism subculture. They have lost me as a customer.
