We go to the Rocky Run Tap & Grill near our house once a week for lunch or dinner. It's a kid-friendly place where little customers are called the Rocky Runts. This local chain of restaurants is known for its themed-ephemera booths (Elvis, Sponge Bob, Far Side), free buckets of peanuts and large collection of bottled hot sauces. A few of the wackier sauce labels are pictured here.

In Baltimore City, we're only seeing some heavy rain as the once-deadly Hurricane Charley passes east of us over the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Though we aren't going to have serious flooding here, Cianna just pulled a 20 oz. cup of ice water into mommy's lap for the second time this month. We should have the name Hurricane Cianna added to the national list.
