Lived 20 years near a RR and never knew that. A kid did lose his leg trying to hop a train. He was always a kid doing stupid stuff like that but even after that no one ever mentioned walking the tracks was illegal I used the side from riding my horse thru town.

My grandma had a cat carved on their back fence gate post because after she fed her family and workers she fed the rest to people during the depression. She also tried to help with sick animals and took in my Uncle Bill from the streets of Philly during the Depression. My dad brought him home to feed him and Gram just took him in. I never knew he wasn't blood kin until he died. I am so proud she was like that. Gives you something to aspire to.

Oops. I birdwatch a bog off of the tracks. I had no clue and grew up with trains running thru my town. We always hung out by the old train stations.

That's good, hope more salaries increase. Pay them as professionals and then demand good performance. They live local, so money stays in the local economy, pay people what they are worth. The various workers I dealt with were competent so I pay for that. Maines salaries need to catch up some to the cost of housing. Flowing money into an area via education where teachers, support staff, janitors, bus drivers .ears it all stays local, I see that as opposite of zero sum. It primes the pump some. Tax dollars that come back to the district or county really make a difference in quality of life in an area. I am a woodsy loner and yet admit that.

Try the blueberry cake, those lowbush berries are so much better than the big marble sized ones.

I cooked under the name Butterhead, which do you think I prefer? Wrong! Cream cheese. My D also votes cc. And coffee in the cake batter. Maine WPs are better than Pennsylvania's. They use shortening mostly.

I worry about forest fires as there will be drought and trees will die that can't take heat like the boreal areas in the County.

Yes I am one. I can't take summer with constant 90.s . I came here and hide in the water under a bridge in the bad days. I rather brave leaches than heat stroke.

We camped on a peninsula there and explored low tide and saw dawns that looked like the ocean was on fire. So beautiful. Sadly this year I couldn't score a water view.

Gotcha, I thought maybe sugar fraction was low. But I would be only guessing I never even tapped one tree. Some nearby people do it in very small scale. I am happy to buy from the road stands.
