Unexpected Jake Brakes is a traumatic condition

That would mean the last of the swinging bridges

I see your user name and I really hope you’ve heard the song+album Minelli did with PSB. A hidden gem of Pop music.

Looking forward to reading the book (— before it’s a tv show)

There was an even bigger proposal vaguely discussed 15+ years ago of a park stretching from Baxter across northern NH & VT to the NY Adidirondacks

Gotta be Skow-town. Or maybe Rumford. If there ain’t a paper mill then there’s nothing to talk about and not worth doin a show.

I still miss the Cosmic Muffin

This. Bumpers are the equivalent of a blind man’s cane. tap tap

Needhams are kinda like a Mounds bar— chocolate covered, coconut, but the sweet white part is just potato & powdered sugar instead of monosodoguckitymuckcrose

Yes indeed! Maine Potato candy is unique. Grew up eating Seavey’s, now we make our own for the holidays.

… and our spectacular sunsets 🌄

To add: many newcomers are also looking a simpler lifestyle with more remote-work options available. And for Medical needs, Maine is the equivalent of This Old House. As far as location, the further north or west of Portland you go, housing will be more affordable. And definitely a need for You, whatever you decide on. Welcome, and good luck!

One fact to remember with the variety of responses to the healthcare field: Maine has THE oldest population in the country. A higher percentage of old folks than FL, AZ or anywhere else. That won’t change, even with the post-pandemic influx looking for cheaper real estate (which is why building trades is mentioned here so much)

Hey Sis, how about YOU send some of your tanks to Russia to use in Ukraine and see how they do

This. Saves a lot of shoveling too. And too hard to re-train to use a different door twice a year.

Wow, flashback. Very prevalent around me in 60’s/70’s and only in Maine. Also assumed Fr/Can from va . Older me saw Oi Vey connection, which doesn’t make much sense for Maine. So I just looked up the German equivalent for the Yiddish word. And… Germans use O weh (which is of Dutch origin) and means “Ouch!” Which…. is exactly what I often heard in France. Ai is for sharp pain, A-wah for anything irritating. The Dutch Weh word lives on in English: a half-century ago in Maine when my big sister told me ”Ah-Vah!” she was actually saying ”Woe is You!”

Oh, Safety, not because it’s too up-scale. Last year, there was an Ollie’s store somewhere that had to briefly close because mice were dropping out of the ceiling.

South Thomaston? It’s been maaany years. Remember trying to time it to catch the reversing falls

Blistered Fingers bluegrass festival. I went when it was in Sidney(?) Now in Litchfield June 15-18 & also August 24-27.

My first reaction. Hope he’s not an Uber driver…

A Squirrel call. Not to hunt them; just to be able to talk to somebody.

So You can’t get he-ah from they-ah??

Sadly, too late for York Steak House. The original restaurant inside the mall. Cafeteria line set-up. For steak.
