There is a natural burial place in Ellsworth - I think it’s called Rainbows End - they may have info on more non- traditional burial options

Based on the title did you think Portland would be mentioned in more than one sentence? Would the article have lost anything if Portland wasn’t mentioned? Did the burrito help track the suspect to Portland, or did it help ID the suspect who happened to pass through Portland in a matter of fact manner? If OP had used the title from NPR verbatim would you have thought the article with a passing reference to Portland belonged on this sub?
Edit - leave comment about being a master of wit, then block me so I can’t respond. Love it.

Instead of one big glass, you get several smaller ones all with a different flavor. It’s typically more expensive but a flight is usually 1.5-2 regular drinks worth of drink spread across 3-5 smaller drinks
A variety pack, if you will lol

I used to take my kids there each year as a mini fun town but with animals. They have an area where you can feed the deer and the butterfly house is wonderful. After COVID they changed the price structure so that you can't get an all day ride bracelet, you have to buy tickets for each ride individually. I don't like that so we stopped going.
​
DEW kingdom seems more like a Joe Exotic type place than York's. That said, now we go to DEW or Gray instead of York's and Smiling Hill Farm for the interactive animals. (We always went to Smiling Hill Farm before, too.) DEW and Gray do not have the same variety of animals as York's.

And unlike with conventional hydro dams where the point of entry for the water powering the turbine is (relatively) small and feasible to keep clear of debris, no tidal generators have been designed yet that aren’t pretty easily fucked by a single submerged log or other significant piece of jetsam.

There are some great zoos in Massachusetts. An easy day trip or one night trip and much better.

Yes it’s like tiger king of the north and the rides are very distopian. We did it once and won’t be back.

Reply to comment by dedoubt in My mom wants a “Viking Funeral” here in Maine. How can I set that up? by Mildly_maria
It does. There's still the formalities and paperwork, but it does help. The problem is ... What happens if the family sells or loses the property?

I guess the fact that I don't drink is showing. "They come in a flight" - and all I'm picturing is a plane out of the airport, but that doesn't seem right?

Reply to Unity college by MickyW98
No, don't do it. The school is a shell of thier former selves. 100% acceptance. Poor quality programs made to look good with flashy marketing and hype. As a graduate and also former employee go ANYWHERE but Unity College.

The title is exactly in line with the story. Please do explain how the title is misleading...
Edit: The spray paint on the door in the pic has nothing to do with the article title that is typed.

Go to Dew in Mount Vernon Lions, Tigers, Bears, kangaroos, monkeys, wolves, panthers. They were on Animal Planet. My camp is in the area. Close interactive with the animals. Way better for kids. My son loves it! Animals are well taken care of

You won’t be left with nice clean ashes in an open air cremation. Are you prepared to deal with the state of the remains?

They really are everywhere now. No biggy to me, I’m just amazed that they all can exist in such close proximity to each other.

Of course a cowardly terrorist bomber couldn't finish his burrito. Pathetic in all phases of his life.
