Maine’s Night of Destruction: Why Would Anybody Attack These Cars With Cinderblocks Like This?
This comes as a complete and utter mystery to me. I guess the whole point of this blog is to see if anyone out there was a witness. I understand that people do stupid things, but this is ignorantly unnecessary. I mean, why would anybody find satisfaction in vandalizing someone's property, especially when it's completely unwarranted?

No matter how far I've ever gone away, Maine has been home.
“Alternative” Swear Words To Learn Before Summer Break
Let's be honest, swearing, although frowned upon by most, feels really good sometimes. For many of us, spouting off at the mouth helps relieve a little stress when we're frustrated. But there are some instances where that's just not the most appropriate thing to do, like when there are kids...
Hey Maine, Can I Interest You In A Refreshing ‘Pickle Pop’ This Summer?
When we were little, it was the second best thing (or maybe the first in your book, it all depends) next to an ice-cold cup of water on a hot day. I'm talking about the syrupy-sweet, frustratingly near-impossible-to-open, freezer pop, or ice pop, or flavor ice. No matter what you called it, if you didn't consume your body weight in that unnaturally colored frozen sugar water, your summer was not complete.

Old Town Police Invite Kids to Fish at Casting With a Cop Event
In a creative twist on the Coffee with a Cop events, Old Town Police are inviting kids to go fishing, or Casting with a Cop. I have personal reasons for loving this event just announced by the Old Town Police Department. I came to fishing late in life, when I decided to learn so that I would occasionally see my bass-fishing-obsessed husband. He guaranteed I'd catch a fish on my first trip and he was right. Third cast and I had a beaut. I was hooked. (pun intended)
WARNING! These Purple Flowers in Maine are not What You Think
Maine wild flowers can be so pretty. I try not to show my sensitive side very often, but I do appreciate life's pretty and beautiful things. I enjoy a killer sunset. I love a good mountain view.

I'll be honest, back in California, I assumed all blueberries were the same when it came to making my protein (peanut butter counts as protein) smoothies.

It makes sense this education would occur here considering over 95% of wild blueberries in the U.S. are produced in Maine.
