That's pretty funny...made me chuckle.

Bet it goes "SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH" for a lot of people tho....

Make an appointment with a garage for a sticker. Make it a few weeks out, maybe even a month.

Keep the number handy so that if you get stopped you can apologize, and explain that you have an appt, but the soonest they could get you in is ....

My experience is that the at-home kits show false NEG results. This has happened with a few folks I know. When they went to their Dr, they tested POS. One had tested NEG twice daily at home for 4 days.

Many people I know don't even bother testing anymore. If they get sick, they believe it's either Covid, Flu, RSV, or a bad cold, and there's not much to be done about any of them, unless they develop severe symptoms.

Good day to take a ride up to Presque Isle for lunch :)

I think it's pretty difficcult to track any of these trends at this point.

The issue becomes very complex when you consider:

1. Covid, Flu, and RSV are all circulating
2. There's a significant overlap of symptoms
3. Testing is far less accurate than it needs to be to actually determine statistics

I do know that a much larger percentage of people I know are either currrently sick or have recently been sick. Yes, I know that's a very subjective statement, but think about the people you know and how many of them have been sick in the past 2 mos.

Everyone I mention it to agrees when they think about it, and those that are sick have no idea what they were sick WITH...they just know that they're sick.

A supplier here in Maine told me that in the winter time they go to 100%. Starting April, 80%.

So you were in Bangor in Sept 2021?...Pandemic?...people were still locked up/in.

Funny...I liked it 30yrs ago.

There be monstahs there.

Door?...Fuq. I keep mine on the floor of the rear seat...

Post the other day said that 67% of home purchases were local Mainers. Only 23% out of state...

Several days, depending on how many tourists were on Rt 1.

That was at Hammond Lumber in Bucksport.Propane looking better and better. I wish I could get wood delivered "palletized" ;)

yep...we did pellets for a few years in Mass. Didn't like having to have power, and thought that offset any savings by quite a bit. Was also noisy, since it was in our great room.

Pellet prices have gone up a bit too...saw $399/ton yesterday.

I'm getting ready to switch from wood to a propane stove. I've used wood since 1983, but with prices what they are, and the work involved, it's a young man's game.

I like that propane is all stacked when they deliver it :)

They.
Don't.
Care.

So were they?

Walmart :)

Walmart usually has yellow onions for $.98/lb, Shaw's and Hanny's?...$1.49/lb

Hanny's artichokes?...$4.99/lb for smallish dried up chokes, Wally's $2.49/lb and 3 X the size.

Briskett?...Hannys regular price, not corned, $10.99lb, Wally's $3.99/lb

​

Between Shaw's and Hanny's in my area it seems to be a tie, dependent totally on the week and what you're looking for.

And still got Covid...

I'm just outside of Bucksport...tons of deer here. Guy bagged a 10pt up in the blueberry fields just off Rt 1 in East Orland on Sat. Herd came through my place at 3am the other day...grabbed what was left of my carrots on the way by.

They are literally everywhere. BUT...the further east and north you go, the cheaper acreage will be, generally.

And lawn signs...don't forget the freakin' LAWN SIGNS.

Where I live we'd PRAISE any food delivery driver...

If only.

This. There are thousands of articles discussing how difficult it is to recycle plastic. I think the current rate is somewhere around 5%-8%, depending on the source.
Think of the amount of effort put into that...for 8%.

Money/influence has dominated politics since the days of the Roman Senate...

Politics IS money and influence, and no bill/law/executive order will ever change that.

Just sayin

Many states have outlawed billboards for exactly this same reason.

I wonder how successful that effort would be regarding political signs...
