You should stick to the girls on the ‘burg. Good Maine women there, Bub. Warmth in the wintah and shade in the summah. Finest kind, Bub.

If a dog escapes in Bath, 40+ people will not only know the dog, but have strong opinions on whether he’s the goodest boy or a menace and also everything the dog’s owner has done wrong since kindergarten.

While Susan Collin’s has done much for BIW, the Yahd workers are going to suffer much more under the Trump policies she’s endorsed. This was her carrot on a stick.

My mega MAGA Mom is mistaken for Janet Mills on a monthly basis. Proud of Janet Mills for standing up to a tyrant and excited for my Mom to find out how horrible Maine MAGA people can be when it’s targeted at her.

Hamilton Sanctuary, in Bath Maine. An excellent place to either disassociate or fully embrace the overwhelming feeling of dread.

1854 the Know Nothing Party sent a message to the Irish and French immigrants in Bath by burning down the South Church. My, how times haven’t changed.
