Hey Harry.... Here's a test.......

.... of your knowledge of the lower Pax River/Potomac River area..... I scored a really neat boy-toy on eBay and I'm gonna have to go up to get it. Sorta promised the 'ole lady some Chesapeake seafood and she's looking forward to the trip. Any knowledge of the Charlotte Hall area? Any restaurant or point-of-interest recommendations? Thanks..... Gene Charlotte Hall is landlocked, but a few miles away is Benedict, Maryland, a sleeply little village on the Pax River. Look for the east side of the Route 231 bridge there. There's a wonderful little waterfront restaurant there called Tony's. And there's a place to tie up boats. If you are coming up on the weekend, you need reservations. Wonderful view of the Pax River. |

I really think that although polycapillary optics made ppl realize the potential applications of x-ray optics, XOS has kept them so expensive that users are unable to experiment. Being unable to experiment, they have to rely on XOS for any applications. Yet, XOS complains that OEMs dont seem to realize the potential applications. Makes no sense to me. XOS has shown almost no willingness to loan PC optics. |

Thanks, Harry... it will likely be a weekend trip. We'll check out Tony's. Thanks Again... Whoops...that would be the WEST side of the Route 231 bridge... |

Momma has her rules and *that* kind of boy toy is no longer permitted. However, she doesn't complain about me playing with .... tools, boats, trains, planes, etc... so I count my blessings... It's OK, though, 'cuz at my age I can play a lot longer with a saw or drill than I can...... oh, well, anyway..... you get the idea. 10-4 :) Later, Tom S.

I bought nothing, though the fella running the new Harley-Davidson store in the mall said he would gladly take one of my credit cards in payment... My wife had...an SUV full of packages from the mall, from Michaels, and from Homestead garden shop. |

If you are coming up on the weekend, you need reservations. Wonderful view of the Pax River. Well, got back with the toy in a pretty uneventful manner, although I was nearly run over by three trailered boats at Buggs Island. I was in the right lane, there were two boats in the left lane, and the other boat decides to swoop from the right lane all the way over to the left turn lane to do (I guess) a U-turn. The predictable result was boats, trucks, and trailers flying every-which-way. I don't think there was any major damage other than to some Hanes. Only sad note to the trip was that Tony's (which was highly regarded by the locals) was a victim of Hurricane Isabel and has not been rebuilt. We settled for "Captain Billy's Crabhouse" which was not only just a couple of miles off our return route, but turned out to be a pretty decent restaurant overlooking the Potomac at the 301 bridge. Got a quick look as some Amish and a fox hunt, too.... -- Sadly, you were misinformed about Tony's, as it reopened about a month ago. My wife and I had dinner there a few weeks ago, and were delighted by the crab cakes, the delicate veggies, and the fellow playing piano. Wouldn't mind hearing more about Captain Billy's. The one time we went there it was closed (too early in the season). Aw, crap. I hate that. The machinery dealer we talked to in Charlotte Hall told us that it had not been rebuilt. Thus, the season being what it was, we elected to make the trek back home toward the Southwest. Though I haven't seen Tony's, it was described as a semi-gourmet restaurant. Captain Billy's, in contrast, is an upscale crab house. Season being what it was, they were out of live crab, but my wife got crab cakes, which I thought were excellent. I ordered oysters, which was a large order and was some of the best oysters I have had in years. There are two restaurants, side-by-side, that were owned by, the now deceased, Captain Billy. I assume they are under the same management. Both restaurants are on and over the Potomac River and afford a scenic overlook of the river... at the US 301 Bridge. The wind, through this area, can be quite stiff.... and was the day we dined. In fact, the wind can be brisk enough to cause closure of the bridge. With my one experience, though not as upscale as Tony's, I can recommend Captain Billy's as a nice place to dine and just sit, enjoying the river activity and sipping on a old one. They have access from a road leading off of US 301 via land and a couple of finger piers if you elect to take the Parker that far afield. Prices, though high to my way of thinking, were commensurate with other restaurants. Figure on about $20 per entree, plus drinks, tips, and other amenities. It was painfully obvious that the closer one gets to water, the higher the cost of living. True everywhere, I guess, but mercifully, not of such magnitude locally (yet). Anyway, here are a few pics to document some of what we saw... http://myworkshop.idleplay.net/caver...harlotte_hall/ Thanks...my wife and I drove over to Billy's once...that was the time we found it to be closed. We were attracted by the gaudy billboard on highway 301. It looked like a good place to set awhile and watch the river. Tony's is a really small restaurant in a tiny town along the Patuxent River. There's no reason for a restaurant that good to be there; I doubt many locals eat at Tony's. The town is charming, and has the color of a 19th century river town along the Missouri. The Pax River is pretty wide there, too. |
