It's Mighty Horse

Hell yeah, they make one tasty burger.

You can live in Concord without a car. There are apartment complexes on "the heights" with free bus service downtown. From the bus station, you can catch a bus to Boston. A lot of shopping is within walking distance.

It correlates pretty well with pppulation age. Maine is the oldest state and NH is pretty close behind.

There's a weekly French mass at St Anthony's in Manchester.

It's very seasonal and depends on the weather. There are good years and bad years. Most of the concern should be for your pets and kids.

I walk my dog every day, and at the worst times I probably average one per day on me. They take hours before they can draw blood, so you have plenty of time to pick them off.

These are 90% dog ticks that don't carry Lyme. My dog got the monthly treatment, and it's very effective. But I still find the occasional tick on her. She had the lyme vaccine, but still tested positive for Lyme twice. She never had any symptoms.

I missed one deer tick a few years ago, and the next day it was engorged with blood. I called my doctor and got an antibiotic prescription over the phone. No issues.

I avoid walking through bushes and tall grass. If my lawn (weeds) gets too long, I'll find one occasionally. Some people spray, and it's very effective. I never felt the need.

Newell Post in Pennacook. There's also one in downtown Concord.

Funny, in English "silage" is grass that has been fermented. Cows love the stuff.

Bushel and Peck

This is my kind of cake: so many blueberries that it barely holds together.

Mass Vegas

Ninas Bistro in Concord is a good sandwich place, that always has some Serbian specialties.

Costco can be great for meat and prepared foods. If you have a few mouths to feed, the $60 can be worth it.

April can be very nice if you get decent weather. Black flies aren't out yet. The roads and sidewalks are mostly clear. It's a good time to tour the state by car.
