This birder is pretty excited that Maine’s standard-issue license plates feature two of her favorite things:
pine trees and chickadees.

Two short weeks ago; but considering the now-established hard frost and bare trees, feels like it happened last year.

I’m reading about EPA Superfund sites (large, hazardous areas being cleaned up through federal- & state efforts).
Knowing this whole place can ruin your health forever, tell me this small segment of one such site (Kittery/Portsmouth Naval Shipyard) isn’t straight out of a horror script:

I’ve seen some weird eBay shit over the years, but finding fragile ornaments SHIPPED in just a Kirkland tissue box is a new one.
They… they really just jammed the ornaments through the slot, stuffed a supermarket flyer on top, taped it up and then affixed their CUSTOMIZED ADDRESS LABEL 😭

Seven years ago:
Went on a RIDICULOUS 30h journey on a whim (three planes, four trains, six buses, two taxis, one lighting strike, one cow on the tracks), because life felt dead-ended.
I have since switched continents, lives, careers and gotten married to the reason for that journey.
Life: wild.

Were you aware that pet groomers have an incredible new tool

Family nap time after a night of shoring up culverts and sandbagging the brook (well, the dogs slept through the whole thing, but y’know…).

After hurricane Lee recently, nobody really worried about last night’s tropical storm.
Holy shit.
Roads flooded, culverts overflowing, our midcoast lifeline Rt1 and its arteries washed out in places.
This is so much worse than the inches fallen would indicate.
