There's something about the combination of the deer and that license plate that's just hilarious.
Like it's a magic trick gone awry.
"Hey, Rocky...watch me pull a deer out of this guy's trunk!"
TA-DAA!!!

As a mom who is always needed, I get this. Being in the car by myself is the closest thing to a get away that I get to take alone. People may need me to stop fights, find a charge cord, make dinner, but I can't hear you, I'm in the car.

I heard there's an ice cream place in Portland that gives you a discount for every degree it is below 0.

Idk man. Might wanna go to the store, buy up all the bread, milk and toilet paper. Then remove your battery from your car and sleep with it to ensure it starts. Then panic that it's cold outside in winter while you're inside with working heat and power. Don't forget to go outside and bitch about it being cold in winter in Maine too, at least once during this totally normal cold snap we experience every year.

The lack of housing currently isn’t like it’s always been, controlled by the rental industry.
2008 crash left a multimillion unit hole that was never filled.
Combined with a lot of people leaving the building industry and never returning back then and a shortage of new blood entering the industry there isn’t enough labor power to keep up, let alone catch up.

When I was at Job Corps, they offered Building Maintenance and Plumbing as one of the options to train in. This is what I was referring to, specifically.

Getting into the trades here is kind of a crap-shoot… You never know whether you will work for someone responsible and organized or whether you will be treated as just a casual laborer with no hope of advancement or even the most basic training about anything. (From experience) Edit - a formal program would be a better bet for success

Never an exit? It was exit 5. You can still see the old ramps. The survey from the turnpike even uses the words "reconnect"

There are hundreds of examples of states with high density, low income housing. Market forces abound, it’s in the rental industries best interest to keep supply just below demand. They also don’t want regular housing, condos, or upward mobility reducing their share of the market. Guaranteed housing, like guaranteed UBI may be the future, but it’s going to be four walls, a ceiling, and a door. That may be fine for some but it will drive others insane.

Or you have heritage here, even more rare. So many come and go with the seasons.
