Forgive the headline, but if I don’t think about the beautification of May flowers, I’m not sure I can square why these April showers have lingered for so dang long.

There are a lot of Bald Mountains in Maine.

It is interesting to study how both “MAGA” and “woke” have, for some, become pejorative labels, often shouted at opponents as “You’re a *&^%# MAGA” or “You’re such a commie woke.” Such vituperative venting and divisive rhetoric would be amusing if either were not expressed with such venom. I say “amusing” because by themselves neither […]

As was true throughout most of Maine, snow was scarce in northern Penobscot County during the first several weeks of winter.

I love watching kids get on and off the bus. In the morning, they’re ready to tackle whatever challenges the day brings. Hours later, they return home with a sense of accomplishment after a day of learning. If your student rides the bus, you know how challenging it can be to get to the pick-up […]
