Every December media outlets recap their favorite and/or biggest stories for the year. In that same tradition, I’ve decided to put up some of my favorite blog pictures of the year and 10 posts I’ve made that I feel changed the course of world history and, of course, saved all of humanity.

My Favorite Pictures of 2007

A beautiful day at Tower Road.

A Civil War Reenactment during Milton’s 200th Anniversary.

Governor Ruth Ann Minner running away from me and out of the Georgia House in Millsboro the night of the 41st District special election.

Even after his resignation from the State House for ethics issues, John Atkins’ supporters launched a failed write in campaign to send him back to Dover. His campaign signs cropped up all over the 41st.

The table where Laura Bush ate breakfast at the Royal Treat on Wilmington Avenue in Rehoboth Beach.

The Cohen brothers, they found the ill fated Rissos dolphin washed up at Tower Road.

The Rissos dolphin dying on the beach at Tower Road.

The SINKING South Side approach of the “new” Indian River Inlet bridge and the road it tried to pull down with it.

John Andretti, I met him. How cool.

The “Dic Dang” sandwich at the Corner Market Bistro in Milton.

Lighting the balloons up like lanterns during Milton’s 200th Anniversary celebration.

Joe Biden talking about Iraq at Browseabout Books on Rehoboth Avenue.

Jared Morris and Dan Gaffney having fun at the Best of Delaware celebration in Dover. (And yes, Dan always has that light shining above him, it’s the most amazing thing…).

The French invade Rehoboth Beach.

Disheveled Barbies from Washington DC spotted loitering on Columbia Avenue after their Dream House furniture was recalled.

Dr Wray and Stell Parker Selby changing seats at the Cape Henlopen School Board meeting in December after Wray resigned the Presidency.

The Rehoboth Beach Police respond to a call about a topless woman (literally) hanging around the beach in front of the Atlantic Sands Hotel

It’s even exciting in Rehoboth Beach on a Thursday afternoon. The RBPD’s finest responded to a call that a woman was enjoying the surf in front of the Atlantic Sands Hotel sans top. With children playing all around her, confused sunbathers couldn’t help wondering what the heck she was doing. As one astute beachgoer put it, “Where does she think she is, France?”

“Where does she think she is, France?”

Not that you can tell from the above, picture, but apparently the woman turned out to actually be from France, and she had no idea that you can’t wave those things around on a public beach in Delaware. According to the police, she now knows you have to keep them under wraps, for the children.

Oui, the woman turned out to be French. It would have been easier to identify the couple as French if they had been wearing traditional French beachwear, pictured above.

The officers responding were professional and polite, and let the woman go with a warning. The officers will remain anonymous, in case they didn’t tell their wives.
