Guest Blogger and DBTR Kicks M$ to the curb

Okay, so many things to cover so little time. First there's the Down Town SS Photo Walk, the Fourth of July, my new guest blogger.....damn!! Okay, for starters, Dan of JUTP pointed something out to me today at the aforementioned photo walk (great thing more later). It seems that this part of East County is more or less the bastard child of MoCo. A lot goes on up here but for some reason it's like this part of the county doesn't exist in the minds of those in Rockville. That said, I have realized that I owe the few people that read this blog updates on life, news, whatever in east county. To that end, my fiance Sparow, of www.suburbangard.blogspot.com has kindly asked to be a guest blogger here on Down by the River. This is good as I have less time lately to devote to this than I like. She is also my editor because as some noted today, I can't spell. I am glad to have her here and feel that her insight and feelings on all things East County will benefit this blog (and I hope the few people that read it) well.

That said, I will post more on the Photo Walk later. Tomorrow I hope. I would also like to note that this post comes to you from Ubuntu Linux. Yes, I'm a geek. I have kicked Microsoft to the curb. It's a very liberating feeling. You should try it. As always, please leave your comments.

Happy Fourth Of July!!
