Sammy's Sugar Shack in Milford had dark today. Not sure if it's very dark though.

Merrimack -- heavy wet snow and coming down hard. 4-5" so far. Plants and trees groaning under the weight, but no wind and power is still on.

Barred Owls hooting at night

$213 for my last visit (cleaning + dentist check)

Put 'em under your birdfeeders and break them apart (if not carved)...very healthy for squirrels and other animals to eat the pulp and seeds.

I agree -- not only are they always in campaign mode, but the expense associated with double the campaigns seems wasteful.
