Could be but I'd start asking at the library.

Shit thanks for the hack. Much appreciated.

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.

There is no doubt that just because it's not "deadliest catch" it's not dangerous.
RIP to the dude and peace to his fam.
Edit// a good reminder to everyone about life jackets.

I'm not familiar with a lot of the town area, but this was at the wilderness park campground! We followed a lot of the trails up and down the river, beautiful location.

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.

Why do they do there? Multiple departments?

USPS
Starting pay may jump up to ~$25 an hour later this year. Get paid to exercise and enjoy the fresh air.

Would this be a call to town hall? I've been wondering the same as OP

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.

If you figure it out let me know. I dislike my job in healthcare too but if I switch jobs I would make probably half of what I do now.

Reply to comment by CosmicJackalop in My mom wants a “Viking Funeral” here in Maine. How can I set that up? by Mildly_maria
Before I saw the suggestions to burn the already cremated ashes instead of the whole body, I was expecting a follow up post in a few weeks asking "I found a partially burnt body while out fishing, who do I call?"

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.

Reply to Is Yorks wild Kingdom bad news? by SameProfession254
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.

Dealers screw them into your bumper or designated plate location if they get shipped to states that require them

Somewhere I have a photo of the Magalloway River up in the woods that looks almost identical to this. Very nice work.

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.

They skyrocket. What do you think their plan is? If you're going to shop around be prepared to keep shopping, and keep an eye on the calendar.

it's a cheap little trick but works rather nicely, outside of not delivering the comment section
