The unofficial start of the summer season is still a month away, but things are already heating up -- literally and figuratively -- as May proves to be a busy time at the Jersey Shore.

Ocean City's famed weather-predicting hermit crab, Martin Z. Mollusk, will venture onto the city's beach at Moorlyn Terrace 11 a.m. Thursday and attempt to see his shadow for the 31st time.

If he does, summer comes one week early to Ocean City, much to the delight of vacationers and the business community. If not, no big deal, the season arrives on time according to Martin Mollusk expert and creator, city Public Relations Manager Mark Soifer.

"Martin has a phenomenal record," Soifer says jokingly. "To date, he has seen his shadow 29 times and once cast a partial shadow. That year, summer was not a week early, but came three-and-half-days early -- in Ocean City only. No other shore town actually benefits from him seeing his shadow, but we do."

The event, which Soifer says has been passed "from claw to claw" over the years, originated as a parody of Groundhog Day, and is traditionally held the second Thursday of May.

"It's a very fun thing and a part of our gearing up for the summer season," he said.

Highlights of Martin's career are plentiful: he was the first hermit crab in space, flying in a tiny gondola attached to a kite. He was accompanied to the beach by a chimp once. His wedding announcement to Molly Shellfish was reprinted in the New York Times. He twice visited the groundhog at the Philadelphia Zoo and presented the rodent with an array of vegetables shaped like a heart.

Tip #18

Home Selling Tip, Targeting Out Of State:
When you sell your home you sometimes have to put yourself in the potential buyers’ shoes. In New Jersey many home buyers are from the surrounding area, like New York or Pennsylvania.

Knowing this can allow your agent to market your house more effectively. If he/she will advertise in a New York publication they can describe the proximity to NY. This allows your potential Buyer Base to expand.
