Was the Snakmaster the Best Kitchen Invention of All Time?
While I'd love to argue that the '80s and '90s were the golden age of TV sitcoms, it would be a disservice not to acknowledge that it was also the era when "As Seen on TV" infomercials truly revolutionized every aspect of our lives in every room of the house. Fixing things in the garage! Cleaning the bathroom! And perhaps most of all—mastering every task in the kitchen.

Maine Wants You to Design the New State Flag, but There’s a Catch
This whole flag debate has been going on way too long. Let's be real... Haven't we all had just about enough of this? I won't lie, I think our current flag isn't that spectacular, but a pine tree and a star doesn't exactly add a "wow" factor either. But, it's been center-stage here in Maine for a hot minute as residents have haggled about our new flag for a few years.
Maine’s Wet Weather Sends These Creepy Bugs Inside – Don’t Squish Them
After screaming, I did NOT kill this freaky bug. Trust me, I get it. I am as guilty as the rest of you. I see this thing and the ONLY thing I want to do is squash it! I know they are creepy and oogy, but don't kill them. I found this little fella in my bathroom sink, scooped him up in a custard cup, and took him outside!
Flying Soon? New Englanders Have Better Travel Manners Than Most
I don't dread flying. I dread the people I am flying with. Inevitably, someone with stinky feet takes their shoes off nearby. Or a nearby passenger pulls out a sandwich laden with onions to ruin the clean air on the plane. There needs to be schooling on airplane etiquette, but...

Is Maine Now Home to One of the Most Invasive Fishes in the US?
There are invasive fish signs posted on the road near my camp. A couple years ago, I noticed some signs along the camp road, indicating that if you were to catch a Northern Pike in our lake, that you needed to kill it immediately and, under no circumstances, throw it back. You were specifically asked to kill it if you caught it. Seems harsh, but Northern Pike can decimate a small lake.
Enormous LEGO Fan Expo to Be Held in Maine Again This Year
I don't think you can name a more iconic toy than the LEGO. That was certainly a hot take, but seriously. What other toy has kids, adults, and professionals "playing" (building and crafting) for their whole life?. No toy has the longevity the LEGO has and will have. Even if...

These Massive Sunbathing Turtles on a River in Maine Look Downright Prehistoric

A ‘Heat Dome’ Arrives in Maine to Welcome Summer: Here’s What It Means

Of Maine’s 4 Types of Hummingbirds, You’ll Only See This One.
I'm kind of obsessed with hummingbirds. I'm not really sure that's a secret at this point. I talk constantly of my love for the little feathered friends, and count the days until I can put the feeder back up. I like to put one out front and one out back. I tried doubling up, but then one particular hoard-y male tried to dominate both feeders. I think it was tiring him out, so I moved the second one out front.
