Check out my friend Alice's brother in law, Martin O'Malley, the mayor of Baltimore, who'll be speaking about the need for more local funding and involvement in homeland security issues.
Gah! I missed it! And I live in Baltimore, too. *facepalms*
O'Malley's a good guy. I emailed him last year about a few diseased (like, ready to fall down at any minute) city trees on the edge of our property, and they were cut down within a few weeks (my dad had been trying to get them removed for at least 10 years through the public works department, with no results).
O'Malley, has to deal with so much ****, running this city. I honestly didn't think I'd get anywhere with that little email. It's cool that he took me seriously. :)
