Sad news! The Wye Oak, 460+ year old state tree of Maryland, located in
Talbot County, was toppled yesterday by a storm. The full story can be seen
on the Sun newspaper's site:

We stopped just about every year to visit this grand old tree on our way to
Ocean City. I feel like I've lost a friend . . .
