Well, I certainly wouldn't take it personally, especially since I had the great misfortune to be a resident of the People's Republic of Maryland for 25 years until the socialists running the place taxed me to death....you blow your nose, they tax you in Maryland....now I'm delighted to say I live in the land of common sense and no taxes...
Emmitsburg, huh? Isn't that where people run around the streets claiming to see apparitions? Spooky town, man....I played a big bluegrass festival near there back in the early 1990s...on the same show with Bill Monroe. I used to play jazz club date around there too until the anti-business mentality screwed the club scene up too.
