Ocean City

90-year-old Ocean City man tallies 10,000 beach days

2026-03-19

Affectionately known as Ocean City's 'Number One Beach Bum,' 90-year-old Earl Paul has counted more than 10,000 visits to the beach.

Paul and his wife, Catherine, had moved to Ocean City in the 1990s following his four-decade career as a pipe fitter. Unfortunately, Catherine passed away just a couple years later.

Paul visited the beach to find healing. After some time, he became determined to visit each and every day possible.

Nearly three decades later, Paul has counted more than 10,000 days on the beach. He says it's easy to make the trip, only being a short walk from his home in Ocean City.

And he has no plans to stop visiting.

Watch the video above to see his story.

Before you put some butter in your grocery cart, here are 5 brands that I think you need to know about. It may seem at first that butter is just butter. I think for the most part, people just buy the cheapest butter in the store, which is often the store brand. But if you want a more fulfilling butter experience, here are 5 brands that I think are worth buying.

This Backyard Weed Heals Cuts Faster Than Neosporin

If you've got plantain growing in your yard, you're basically sitting on a first aid kit and don't even know it. It's one of those "weeds" most people pull and toss without a second thought, but it's actually one of the best skin healing herbs out there. I started using it on scrapes and cuts a few years ago and never looked back. 😊

Florida Man’s Poop Fight Goes Completely Off the Rails.

Folks, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Florida is the only place where a disagreement over dog poop can apparently escalate into a felony case, an assault with a scooter, and enough body-cam footage to make Netflix start taking notes.

My Grandma Always Added This To Her Scrambled Eggs, Turns Out She Shouldn't Have

My grandma always added a splash of milk to her scrambled eggs before they hit the pan. It's how she taught me to make them, and it's how I made them for years without ever questioning it.

The Microwave Baked Potato Trick That Gets Dinner on the Table Before the Oven Even Heats Up

A fluffy baked potato does not have to mean waiting nearly an hour for the oven. With the microwave, a humble russet can turn soft, steamy, and fork-tender in minutes, ready to split open and soak up melting butter. The inside stays light and fluffy, while salt, cheese, sour cream, bacon, or whatever toppings are hiding in the refrigerator turn it into something far more satisfying than its short cooking time suggests. It is simple pantry cooking at its most useful—the kind of kitchen trick worth knowing when everyone is hungry and dinner needs to happen now.

Someone Poured Root Beer Into Baked Beans—and the Cookout Side Dish Got Seriously Interesting

Sweet, smoky baked beans get an unexpected upgrade from root beer, which brings deep caramel notes and a little old-fashioned soda-shop sweetness to the sauce. As the beans bake, everything turns thick, glossy, and bubbling, with savory seasoning balancing the sweetness and crisp-edged bacon adding smoky richness if you pile it in. The result is familiar enough to belong beside burgers and barbecue, but different enough to make people stop after the first spoonful and wonder what gives the sauce that extra depth. It is sticky, saucy, sweet-savory comfort food with just enough surprise to keep the serving spoon moving.

The One Mistake People Make When Bringing Home Tomatoes

Let me share why putting your tomatoes directly into the fridge when you bring them home might be a mistake. Years ago I learned from Alton Brown that putting tomatoes in the fridge was a no-no. The reason being that the flavor of the tomato will forever be changed once they have gone below a certain temperature. Alton says that.

The Steak Cut Most People Have Never Heard Of (But Butchers Love)

Have you ever heard of a Teres Major steak? Learn why if you find these butcher cuts you will want to give one a try. Steaks are all about location. Where on the cow does it come from? This steak is cut from the chuck primal of the cow. This is at the front of the animal, near the head. The best pot roast comes from chuck. I also like to use ground chuck for burgers.

This Tiny Puppy Doesn’t Know He’s “Different”, He Just Knows He Wants Someone to Love

PAWS New England reports that Sazerac, an 11-week-old male puppy currently in New England, is still waiting for a home after the rest of their litter, and even their mama, were adopted. According to PAWS New England, Sazerac has vision loss in one eye and diminished vision in the other, a condition the rescue says has likely contributed to being overlooked despite otherwise typical puppy behavior.

Mama’s American Goulash Is the Kind of One-Pot Supper That Makes the Whole House Smell Like Home

Savory ground beef, tender macaroni, tomatoes, and simple pantry seasonings come together in the kind of old-fashioned goulash that feels familiar from the very first spoonful. The beef cooks down rich and hearty, the pasta soaks up the tomatoey sauce, and everything simmers together until the whole pot turns thick, saucy, and deeply comforting. A little garlic, onion, and seasoning bring that classic family-dinner flavor, while the soft macaroni keeps every bite satisfying without making the dish complicated. It is practical, budget-friendly, and exactly the kind of meal that feels like something Mama could stretch to feed everybody at the table and still have enough left for tomorrow.

Grandma’s 5-Ingredient Potato Soup Was So Cozy, Fancy Recipes Never Stood a Chance

There is something almost unfair about how much comfort can come from just five simple ingredients. This old-fashioned potato soup is creamy, steamy, and full of soft, buttery potato pieces that practically melt into the broth. It has the kind of humble flavor that feels instantly familiar, like something simmering on Grandma’s stove while biscuits warmed nearby. No complicated seasonings, no mile-long shopping list, no unnecessary fuss—just a bowl that tastes rich, cozy, and deeply satisfying. The beauty is in its simplicity, and that is exactly why recipes like this never really disappear.
