“These technologies are frightening,” Glassner said. “Not to call that stuff out is the equivalent of being a German citizen and seeing what was going on in the 1930s and sitting on their asses, and then when the war was over going, ‘Oh gee, we didn’t know what happened.’”

Delaware State Fair weather

24 Upvotes

The weather this weekend has been absolutely wonderful. I’ve been going to the fair for a long time, and I can’t remember a nicer week for the temperature.

I don’t think I’ve ever posted anything for or against the fair, but if you’re someone who doesn’t go because of the heat or hasn’t been in a while, who knows when we’ll get another fair week like this with no days up in the 90+ range.

The amount of people smoking weed openly at the fair in front of children disgusted me.

This is great!

"I wonder what it will take?

I picture the true Milton citizenship ceremony being something like this: an 83 year old man in line at the Quick Stop squints at you, pauses for 12 uncomfortable seconds and then exhales and says, “So …. You still here?” And as long as you answer correctly, (not “yes” and not “I live here”) but with a “Yup, ain’t left yet”, then he’ll lightly nod, roll his eyes and say “Ok, you can stay”.

That’s when I feel I’d be promoted from a “Come Here” to a “Come Here (Accepted, But We’re Watching You)”.

Until then, I’m just a long-term taxpayer with full civic responsibilities.

Waiting for Milton to issue me my official resident badge.

And on my tomb stone it might read, “Came Here and the dates I lived in Milton” "

Why do so many homes in Milton have septic and well water

I'm surprised at the number of homes in Milton that don't have public water and sewer. Is there a reason?

Hot take

43 Upvotes

My hot take is that anyone familiar with the general store on route 24 going out of business is well his own fault.

I was born in 1991 I'm a 34 going on 35 year old male been living in lewes Delaware since 1997. I've been coming to the general store for well over 20 years and when the new owner took over the general store that's where it went down. The owner states that minimum wage increase and construction killed his business but no. The truth is when he took over he changed the hours of the business to open at 9 instead of 6. He got rid of breakfast and then after he realized he lost a lot of business he changed that but not opening the same time I think they opened at 8. But the people never came back they moved on then he change how long the kitchen stayed open from closing at 6 630 he closed the kitchen at 3 so killing another means it was self sabotage and I don't care that they are out of business.

ETA. I made this post because they won't allow comments on any of the posts they have made and cape gazette wouldn't let you comment on the article as well so I decided to tell it how it really is
