Thaw

Yet another day above freezing with the sun glowing down its March smile. Or some such phrasing. We seem to be heading into Mud Season, with gunk flowing down the gutters and the roads turning into buffalo wallows. No corpses thawing out of snowbanks yet (not that I've heard of, anyway) though that does occur every few years. I doubt if we'll jump overnight from winter to spring this year, though. Some years, I've skied one weekend and bicycled the next.

Meanwhile, I have The Shrew, Beowulf, The Brat, and Grendel's Mother all in one room staring at each other. This could get interesting.

I didn't know you had buffalo in Maine.
Just a bit north of Portage, actually, and twenty-some-odd miles northeast of Presque Isle:

Maine's one of those wonderful states that has more than a bit of everything.

Do you have red-headed double-breasted mattress thrashers?

Not speaking from personal research, but yes....

Hate to disappoint you, but I've been through there (on the way to a project in Fort Kent) and there is no there there. Not even a wide section of highway. There may have been a there there once, back once upon a time....
