Year 3 - Day 225 - August 12

As you drive around the island, there are a lot of matching houses. There used to be (and still are in some places) a zillion cape cods from the same era. Then our era (early 80's) of houses started going up on stilts. There are a whole bunch of one model, but there were only 2 of our model. I knew our house's twin was in Barnegat Light, but I didn't know where until we drove by it yesterday! (The one on the left.) The stairs to the lower deck are in a different spot but the rest is the same. 

They're painting the Surf City water towers a dark blue. Either that or they're going to be 2 toned and they are only painting the bottom...

Our house! Well, our old house. The new owners made the deck pretty. I'm thinking they spend more time there because they actually have flowers. 

Oh they made a new trash can holder too. They're currently putting in pretty pavers under the house and getting rid of some of the stones.

This house has looked like this FOREVER. "But they got new windows!" says Mike. Nope, those Anderson windows tags have been on since I was a child. They used to have a trailer in the side yard but that finally disappeared. There are also board games piled up in the bay window. So ugly.

This sign (and it's new sign friends on 95 throughout Harford county) have been driving me crazy, but I'm always driving alone so I can't snap a picture. Luckily Mike was driving today. They recently changed a lot of the signage on 95 in our area. Instead of using the names of areas that people just use in conversation, they switched to the real names of towns. (543 used to be Riverside but now it's officially Belcamp, etc) In addition, they added several "How Far Until I Get To..." signs. BUT THEY ARE ALL IN THE WRONG PLACE! All of the signs going southbound were put in a few miles off. If you do the math, they have 543 being exit 77 instead of exit 80. Every one. And one of the signs has a whole bunch of extra miles between two things. It's escaping me right now - it's either 543 and Bel Air or Bel Air and White Marsh. I don't get it. How hard is it to put the signs in the right place?!?!
