Here's what 40 planted cloves of Phillips garlic looks like. Boring looking now, for sure, but come spring/summer they're going to be gorgeous. Penobscot River is just off picture to the left.

Yes, my videoing ability is bad, as is the clarity of this video recorded on my Samsung phone. What is this flying over Orono, Maine at 6pm Tuesday evening, Nov 4th?? (I'm looking west, it's moving north)

Here is my latest piece about how badly national media - both left and right - have fumbled their reporting on Graham Platner and why so many of us here in Maine really like the guy.

Dave Ball of Soft Cell passed away 2 days ago at age 66. Soft Cell arrived on the scene when I was 16/17. Followed them for years and their first 3 albums/EP/remix album still get a lot of play on my turntable. SC was more than Tainted Love.

Just arrived yesterday: signed copy of @grantleephillips.bsky.social new album on smoky yellow vinyl "In The Hour of Dust". Been a fan since GrantLeeBuffalo. Never saw GLB live but saw GLP live 3 times when I lived in Philly 1995-2007: 8/19/2001; 10/30/2001; and 4/1/2003. This record]? Terrific.n

I started disc golfing in March of 1994 while living in Allentown, PA. I joined the Prof Disc Golf Assn (member # 10,515) the following year while living in Philly. Yesterday I got this in the mail at my home here in Orono, ME

Almost nobody my age or younger has a real shot at owning a home.

We need to ban hedge funds and private equity from buying homes, restore federal support for building housing, and expand VA-style home loans so working people can actually afford to own where they live.

My friend in CT, Mike Geary, sent me this video his 2 year old grandson (Kayson) who "ran" 3 stop signs in his little battery car. Kayson, trying to deflect, points out that his younger brother is eating grass. Get ready to smile. Cuteness overload ahead!

Starting the day with a round of disc golf is always a good start to a day.

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country.

I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

We DO have judges who still follow the law instead of breaking it. This is wicked awesome and worth the 20 minutes. If you do the crime, be prepared to do the time.

Separately, release the #EpsteinFiles
The Guardian reports fotus is again bawling for the release of a County Clerk who subverted her election duties & lied to include others in her scheme to help a weak prez candidate in Colorado. Best trumpy-love take down ever. This is how states courts save us⬇️
