When I was 13, I got tired of waiting for the bus in the Caribou middle school auditorium after early dismissal one day for a blizzard. It was a bad winter, we'd already had several blizzards, and it had all gotten pretty old, just so boring. So I decided to walk home about 8/10ths of a mile. NBD. Did it all the time. Oh yeah, and I'd forgot my mittens & hat that day.

I froze the tops of my ears and all my finger tips in the 10 minutes it took to run in the blowing snow to my father's office that was a little less than half way. He was closing up to go home but luckily was still there to let me in, and he got me thawed out. It was . . . painful. It took a week for all the black bits to peel off and they're still sensitive to cold 55 years later.

I think us all putting up with hearing about frostbite for 5 damn days is worth it if one dumb kid like me doesn't have that experience.

Or in this case less of a warning and more of a challenge... would be better if this was a dodge challenger...

you spent more on fireball than oil.

You don't have to believe it for it to be the truth.

Because in addition to everything else said, they are also exceeding the speed limit within a parking area by a fair margin.

You wear shorts and slippers to shovel in 20-degree weather. You've gone out barefoot in the snow to get something off the porch.

Luckily for me, one branch has been in the midcoast since the mid 1700s, another around machias since about the same.

One of my college buddies from NYC hit a deer and was freaking out. Then proceeded to freak out even more when the cop who came to the accident scene asked if he wanted to keep it🤣.

hahd.

.....go on.....

Fairly certain that deer wasn't hunted

I'm actually pretty relieved that the news cycle is so slow that all they have to report on is it's a bit chillier than normal.

...the wind chill is -40 and you think "probably should put on a sweater...maybe."

If I want to disagree, that's what my three minutes at the microphone are for. —————————————————— Look, if your expressed opinion was to zone in such a way as to racially exclude someone, then the media would happily report it. What I mean by shaming is simply reporting it.

Let people see for themselves who is causing the housing crisis. Reporting on it isn’t preventing you from expressing your opinion.

If you believe that expressing your opinion and having it appear on the 6pm news is bad, then there’s a flaw with your opinion.

We publicly shame people all the time for their opinions by simply showing it in broad daylight.

Intermodal railyard would be great. I like choo choo trains more than planes.

Fair enough

This a fuckin Jeff Foxworthy bit

I have a lot of respect for hunters who don’t drive a pickup. No frills, just get in there and do the job

You seem to have paid pretty close attention for a guy at is not interested in my opinion.

And you never throw anything salvageable away. The scrap pile has treasures in it.

They sell Kerosene at your gas station.

So.. planes landing at an airport ten feet from your front door is fine, then?

Your camp is on skids because it’s on leased land and you have to move it every few years.

I thought I had seen some kooky takes on the housing crisis, but "Eliminating all building regulations to allow homeless people to build their own log cabins will solve homelessness" is a new one. Bravo!

And anytime someone says, "The solution is simple" to a complex problem is when I stop listening.

Oh shit that one hit hard 🤣
