Notice how warm the ocean is right now compared to a few decades ago? The temp off Hampton Beach is 42 degrees. That's insane. It used to be 33 degrees when I was growing up in the 1970s, right on through the 1990s. Then pond hockey tournaments started getting canceled because the ice wasn't thick enough, the ice races on Milton Three Ponds got canceled year after year and can't happen now because they don't freeze enough to have them, no rime ice at the shores now. In about 20 more years or so, we'll be experiencing Southern winters of 50s-60s through the winter and zero snow at all at this rate.

People who complain about the cold and snow and talk about moving South and I tell them hang in there, it's coming this way. So, enjoy beautiful scenes like this while we still can because they aren't going to be around forever. Global warming is accelerating at a rapid clip.

Same with rural parts of Florida. I met someone from northern rural FL one time and could not understand what in the world he was talking about.

True of Cornish accents as well. I remember when I was a teenager and waitressing at my home town's HoJo's. A few English people had come over to do a foreign exchange thing, maybe through UNH, and one of them was from Cornwall. I swear, I could not understand a single word he said. Fortunately, he had a girlfriend who "translated" for me and they all had a good laugh about it all, thankfully.

That's total bullshit. They just tore down the old high school a few years ago and built a brand new one and it's Voc school, so Dover gets taxpayer dollars from Barrington, too. Also, Durham sends their kids there for voc trades, Nottingham and Northwood kids got there, too, because Coe-Brown is so bad.

LOL, what a major drag! I had no idea those places flooded out so badly. However, with the acceleration of global warming since the 90's, I guess it doesn't surprise me. I'm sure the city building inspectors told them to shut down those units b/c you know Corporate America would have just kept renting them out...

LOL, I grew up in Dover and had a friend who lived there in the 90s, his grandmother lived there in a different apartment during the same time frame, and my dad lived there in the 70s. Definitely has not been updated since they were built in the early 70s - same crappy little weed choked "pond" out front and the world's smallest community swimming pool, lol. The studios were decently laid out with privacy area for the bedroom but yeah, I can see how the creek wold flood the place although I never knew anyone who had to deal with that.

Really? In the "We refuse to pay taxes to properly fund our government" state? It's pathetic how archaic our governmental services are. I moved to freaking SC in 2005 and you could electronically update a change of address on their DMV website. NH finally allowed us just a few short years ago to download, fill/print out a fucking paper form that has to be snail mailed in order to update a change of address. How sad is that?
