That's a really good one.

I once saw an eagle swoop down and grab a baby merganser chick out of the lake. For some reason the eagle dropped it back into the lake and I watched it flounder around for a minute or two until a seagull came along and ate it. I was sobbing and yelling "No!" the entire time. That was more trauma than drama though.

No doubt. And when they teeter down the road falling into potholes and jumping with the frost heaves while you're either behind them or coming the other way, that'll cause some drama and trauma.

Well, not really a CMP thing here considering they only only control distribution, but a great thing to be pushing for diversified supply! In Maine we are clearly exposed to the Atlantic Ocean and high winds, we should be using it to our advantage. The more options the better, it will only help cut the reliance (and once gouging profits) from the natural gas companies.

There are women who are afraid of being misjudged as a “weak woman” and there are men afraid of seeming ‘unmanly’ because it is so horrifying to be seen as unmanly. 😂 It boils down to misogyny.

Take them to Maine wildlife park instead. While York isn’t “bad” compared to Joe Exoitc’s zoo it is run down. They have a few rides that are rusty and are legit falling apart. The animals don’t look like the are abused but the park definitely does not have the money to keep them safe or healthy compared to other zoos in New England. I’ll always assume that the owners have the animals best interest but because of how little money they might have from being open in the summer that the animals aren’t being treated the way they are supposed to.

My favorite was a local paper had a notice some fella posted looking for his lost pet raccoon. Right next to it was a notice another gentleman posted saying he had a raccoon coat for sale. The editor must have gotten a chuckle out of the placement. And yes, I am old and this was a while back.
