And that's not even its best quality.<br>
<br>
When you buy this candle, 100% of the proceeds go to the Anne Arundel County Food Bank. You get a sweet smelling house (or a great gift). Our less fortunate neighbors get nutritious food for the holidays. That's what I call a win-win.<br>
<br>
Local designer Lee Snead created the handsome, reusable jar as an ode to the iconic Hemlock Christmas Tree Farm in Edgewater. 8 ounces of hand-poured, natural vegetable wax burns for 40 hours, filling your house with woodsy notes of juniper, gin, and cypress needles.<br>

<br>
Inflation is higher than it's been in 40 years, <a href="https://www.westbourneinvadvisors.com/_files/ugd/000a8c_677dfc9308244e74a75bbd4edd997759.pdf" target="_blank" style="border-bottom: 2px solid #5182ff;text-decoration: none;color: inherit;">as discussed here</a>. Money in savings accounts and low-yield bonds is eroding purchasing power faster than you can say, "I can't get no satisfaction." And yes, the market's down thus far this year. But check this out.<br>
<br>
Over the last 100 years, the probability of negative returns in the S&P 500 over any 20-year period was only 3%. That hundred-year period includes the Great Depression, the Great Recession, the Cold War, and the Altamont Speedway Festival.<br>

Midnight Madness.</p> <ul style="line-height: 1.5;"> <li>On the first three Thursdays of December (aka starting tomorrow), downtown Annapolis shops stay open late (some as late as midnight), bring in musicians and free booze, and some even have sales.</li>
</ul> <p style="display: block;margin: 13px 0;font-size: 16px;line-height: 1.5;margin-bottom: 10px;margin-top: 0;">It's the most fun holiday shopping you'll do this season guaranteed. My suggestion: grab dinner with friends then hit the streets. These Thursdays truly are some of the best of the year downtown. Live entertainment starts at 6 PM. Don't miss the alpacas on Main Street!<br>

It's pretty cool. Especially since the 1st Armored Division nicknamed themselves "Old Ironsides" after they saw a picture of... a Navy ship.</p> <ul style="line-height: 1.5;"> <li><strong>Fun fact</strong>: the aforementioned ship, Old Ironsides aka the <em style="line-height: 1.5;">USS Constitution</em>,<em style="line-height: 1.5;"> </em>is the oldest ship still afloat today. She was launched in 1797.</li>
