So I want to touch on briefly something that several other commissioners talked about.

A

Last week, slow down while you're driving there's a lot of accidents happening out.

A

There it's dangerous, be careful, take your time, there's no rush, you'll get where you need to get.

A

Eventually, traffic's not as bad now, people are working from home. So take your time while.

A

You're driving and slow down watch out for motorcyclists watch out for bicyclists just.

A

Be cautious, be careful. This thursday march 25th is maryland day. There's a lot of stuff happening. We.

A

Celebrate maryland day every year, there's going to be a virtual program through saint clements.

A

Island and the museum so definitely check that out. You can get to it through facebook, but also.

A

Very exciting historic, st mary city is going to be doing some announcements.

A

They found the fort they've been looking for the fort down there for a long time.

A

You've probably seen there's some washington post articles going around that do a really good job.

A

Explaining what's going on down there, it's really exciting stuff so definitely check it.

A

Out check out what's happening at historic, st mary city we've seen recently, there's a renewed push.

A

From our federal representatives to make us a a designated historical area, um a heritage area, it's.

A

It's really exciting stuff happening here, and so finally, I want to conclude with a little bit.

A

Of history, since we're talking about since I'm talking about history today and let me get the.

A

Date march 23rd 1839 was the first time that the abbreviation okay was used in a printed newspaper.

A

Back in the day back then, um intellectual people liked to purposely misspell words.

A

And they misspelled all okay all correct and made it okay, they would abbreviate it and it became.

A

In the vernacular so 1839's when it really took off the van buren, when martin van buren.

A

Was running for re-election, he had groups of thugs that were out trying to intimidate voters.

A

And they were abbreviated, the okay boys, because of he, his initials old kinderhook.

A

So that really helped it to take off too, but the term ok dates back to 1839 today. Thank you.
