Moving to Allegany

Just curious. I'm local MD native looking to move westward in the state. I currently live in Baltimore County and was considering moving to Cumberland/LaVale/Frostburg area. I am a high school teacher by trade with the ability to teach college if I so choose. I was looking for a county with a slightly more rural/sparse suburban feel and smaller schools. Any advice?

Does anyone near Severn have little goats or donkeys I can play with?

I love hoofed animals, but the only hoofed animal I've ever touched is deer because I feed a family of deer near me almost every day, and one of them lets me pet her.

I have been near horses, never touched one though. And I have never even seen a donkey or a goat but I've always wanted to.

Someone around here has to have some, right? I really want to visit some hoofed animals!

Pepco Energy Bill Broke 1K

So anyone's energy bill last month break 1K? We just got an energy bill for $1,100. I keep it at 68, I didn't think that was insane, but maybe it was too high. I know January was freaking cold.

SWAT raid predawn in Carroll County

A dozen keystone cops woke me up at 5am with their shields, rams, tank, and endless shouting.

I've now officially seen more SWAT raids on my Carroll County neighbors than I did on my West Philly neighbors (2-1).

What in the heck is this place (New Glatz)?

Is it, like, a development district? A paper town? One of those smaller towns that got subsumed by its post office city? I have had no luck whatsoever finding anything about it, except on an unarticled wikipedia hyperlink.

BGE supplier

Has anyone changed their BGE supplier to a retail electricity supplier? If so, has this actually decreased your electric bill? Who is your retail electric supplier. I’m thinking of switching but want to know if this is actually worth the hassle.

Home Energy Rebate Program still happening in Maryland?

I have very old (and broken!) appliances, including a gas stove I was looking to switch for an electric one, and was waiting for Maryland to implement the Home Energy Rebate Program. I’m assuming the new administration will be putting an end to funding for this, but I’m unclear if Maryland will be able to promote this program with the funds they’ve probably already received but not allocated yet. Anybody else been following this? (Or also planning on buying new appliances?)
