That The Eastern Shore For Ya.... when it rains, there's a pool in everyone's front yard!

everybody's fishing but me it's not fair

That general situation with a "small business" like ESE is not uncommon.

My brother-in-law has a business with 2 storefronts, one is also production. Sales are in the millions and profit margin before taxes is pretty darn good.

It should work like 500,000 is a 10 percent return on 5 million so the business is worth 3-4 million.However most of the profit is from large contracts because he is a good salesman. When it's time to shut down and retire the value is simply the "parts" and if he wants to sell it all off within 90 days after retirement he'll be lucky to get 500,000.

If he is real lucky maybe he can sell the business intact for a million and the employees won't all lose their jobs.

need a favor from a navy guy.

Wonder how the Dock is faring this morning? To my understanding some of this has to do with the high tide? When tide goes back out, how much goes out after a rain storm like this?
I remember when husband was doing a job in Dover MD. it stunk when tide went out/in...can't remember which. Had a hard time getting use to the smell. It did go away, But during that time it was awful.

Jackie has been released!!!!! At least until she re-offends. She has an apple and candy addiction that is hard to beat.
