I’ve made about 3 quarts and counting…and use the exact same glass bottles. I have two taps in one big tree and it gives me all the sap I can possibly handle without an actual evaporator. I use a turkey fryer in my garage. My syrup is very light early in the year and gets darker over the course of the season. I live at 1900 feet elevation, so mine finishes at around 216. It’s a fun hobby.

Over the years, some have escaped and started a small, but sustaining population outside of the reserve. Even though these escaped boar are both invasive and destructive, you’re not allowed to shoot them without Corbin Park’s permission because they are “escaped private property.”

I’m sure the asphalt plant in Lebanon smells bad. But, I can’t tell because all I can smell is hot, rotting garbage anywhere within about 2 miles of that landfill.

The person they arrested is 67, not the chief.

The article says she was one of the Union Leader’s “40 under 40” in 2020. So, at most, she’s in her early 40s today…many years away from collecting her pension. She’ll be back.

Spoiler Alert: None of these clowns will be held accountable for this abuse of power, and 6-12 months from now the chief who just “retired” will quietly be hired by another police department in a different part of the state to continue her career as if nothing happened.

So, the most cosmopolitan French speaking city in North America is about three hours away, and you’d rather travel 1500 miles south to a city that spoke creole 200 years ago?

These tax dollars are going to be flushed down the toilet so Sununu can try to convince Republican primary voters that he’s “tough on border issues.” Fucking ridiculous.

Possibly over a cheese pizza.

Your safety utopia will become a reality when CAVs become ubiquitous and humans are taken out of the equation. I’m not an engineer, but it seems like the Chuck Marohns of the world have convinced bike/ped advocates that engineers are inept, hate bike/ped infrastructure, and can prevent bad driver behavior by uniformly implementing a certain set of design guidelines (like NACTO). The reality is that there are about 5-6 communities in NH where those sort of design guidelines make any sense whatsoever. The rest of the State is rural and sparsely populated, and will always be automobile oriented.

Engineers could design every road in New Hampshire like a bumper car track and there would still be lots of crashes. Next time you are out and about, take a look at how many drivers are looking at the phone in their lap rather than the road, or how many drivers cross the centerline, or how many drivers tailgate at unsafe distances, or how many drivers cut people off at turns, or how many drivers are traveling at excessive speeds, or how many drivers don’t understand the right-of-way rules at stop signs, or how many drivers speed up to go through the yellow light at an intersection. You’d need to find one hell of a team of engineers to develop designs that preemptively avoid all of that behavior.

There are a couple of areas on 93 near Concord where you can see a decent view of Mt. Kearsarge to the northwest.

You load 16 tons and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt. St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go, I owe my soul to the company store.

If you drive prudently for the conditions, you’ll be fine. A few tips: 1) Heading northbound, there is a long downhill section between Exit 11 and Exit 12. Cops are always waiting at the bottom to bust northbound drivers coming down that hill. 2) Heading northbound, there is a steep downhill section into a curve immediately after the Springfield Rest Area. Be very careful in this section in the winter. 3) Heading southbound, there is a steep climb to Exit 16. This section is prone to icing winter conditions. Don’t follow any trucks in this section in the winter, because they often can’t make the climb and they don’t realize it until it’s too late.

The stretch from Exit 10 in Sutton to the Springfield Rest Area is a microclimate. It snows there when it’s not snowing anywhere else. The section in the Enfield notch (Exit 15-16) can also be tricky. The section from Exit 9 in Warner to Concord is usually fine in the winter.

IMO, preschool should involve lots of group activities and dramatic play to encourage creativity and build social skills. Every child is different though, and it’s OK for kids to explore their own interests too. On some days at preschool, my daughter would be “running an ice cream shop” with other kids during dramatic play. On other days, she’d spend time by herself completely focused on doing puzzles.

Good luck to you and your son (whether in preschool or kindergarten this year)!

My daughter missed by three weeks last year. I inquired about the cutoff date with the school district just out of curiosity and didn’t get any sense that it was negotiable. The extra year of daycare was expensive, and she was bored as hell (being the oldest kid in pre-school when all of your friends are going to kindergarten sucks). But, it wasn’t all bad. In the end, she was much more ready for kindergarten.

Good luck getting people on this sub to approach an issue with nuance rather than making broad generalizations presented as statements of fact.

What happened to Senno and his various alternate accounts?

Yup, that’s the one. Fortunately, we were able to escape to greener pastures a few months ago. The constant drama was just too much…not good for the staff, the kids, or the families.

Stay in school and learn how to do hair properly. I tried to cut my son’s hair once and thought to myself, “this can’t be that hard.” He ended up looking like Jim Carrey’s character in Dumb and Dumber.

Just FYI, Amtrak actually has four stops in NH. The Vermonter route stops in Claremont.

You’re not going to want to send anything to that address.

You really haven’t googled that address, have you?

Make sure you put your return address on it, so they know where to find you.
