    Maryland bill would add boat luxury tax

    4 Megayachts Burn in Miami

    Had a long flight from Balt to San Diego. Picked up "Decision Points" by George W Bush. Excellent read. From his early days as a businessman, oil investor, unsuccessful attempts to run for congress, days as Governor, and of course his Presidency. I am a conservative, but I think even a...
