National degeneracy

Kids these days.  Handed coins to the guy behind the counter this morning, a quarter, three dimes, and a nickel, $.60 US as usual for the morning paper.  Which is the correct price.  He claimed he needed another dime...

Took him three tries to decide I had it right.

If you can't count money, you're gonna have a few problems with the modern world.

Gloomygray

Rain.  Showers.  Drizzle.  Rain.  Temperatures in the 50s F, except for an anomaly at the far northern crown of Maine where they have some Canadian sun.  Shows you where we fit on the national priorities, when we have to import sunshine from Canada...

Probably gets hassled at the border, too.

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch

Wild bird rehab center may close if a wind farm is built:

Trade-off

I've driven rehab patients from the nature center to Avian Haven.  We'll have a problem if they close or move further away.  We'll have a problem if Maine and the whole country don't develop alternative energy sources...

No easy answers.
