I had an SDSU girlfriend who left me in a TJ jail.

Pretty much every class my kids have been a part of have between 12-16 kids and every class in the school I work at has the same numbers.

I taught in CA for 15 years before moving here. My first year, and most of the next, class had 34 fifth graders. 25 were at some sort of English Language Acquisition level, 10 had IEPs. It was hard, but we did it. I don't get how Maine isn't knocking it out of the park, I really don't. My class this year has 18 kids, no ELA students and 3 IEPs. HOW in the heck do CA kids outperform ours? OR...why are our kids not outperforming theirs by a massive amount? I don't get it...

I am a liberal democrat. I bet most of these aholes are Democrats too.

I taught in Stowe, lived in Hyde Park. Worked out well, kids went to Stowe, we had a sweet house in HP.

We moved here after '98 so do not know anything more than 1-3 days w/out power. Here's what we do, and our house is all electric (no basement).

1. we have a wood stove that heats the house no matter the power situation.
2. we have a pretty good dry goods storage which includes a lot of veggies we grow
3. we have two trash cans that collect roof water for flushing toilets
4. we have a couple of lanterns
5. we have a butane burner stove for camping
6. we bust out coolers for food.
7. we have no generator
8. we have 5 gallons of drinking water

So far so good, but longer than 3 days we'd certainly start feeling it.

ETA, the biggest problem we had during one of the 2 or 3 dayers was when my son had a 60 gallon salt water tank. We were really sweating that, but it is since gone.

Mosquitoes in the backyard thursday morning!

Maybe it will get below freezing by Valentine's Day and we'll get our little ice disk.

Well we lost out on best trails...to Missouri. ha

I like driving by all those lepage signs this morning.

Tell that to poor Georgia.

Los Angeles has 10000 foot mountains less than 50 miles away.

Yet Mainers calling folks flatlanders all the time.

In and Out? Is that something other than a SW burger chain?

Nice. You are who it's for, right? Someone who can enjoy themselves responsibly losing money. I don't mean that sarcastically. I'm just bummed of the stories of folks losing way more than they can.

There's a car for every person who ever went there, won some money and had a good time.

Osprey nests on those lines as well.

Usually an eagle on Long Island viewed from Casco Bay Ferry. Also, plenty of osprey all over, especially on Presumpscot River in Falmouth.
