I think you're dramatizing his idea a little. It sounds pretty responsible to me. Probably a good way to have a semi-normal holiday gathering without putting the family and community at greater risk. How does that make him a kool-aid drinker?

"If it bleeds, it leads." I think COVID will continue to dominate the news regardless of who's in the oval office.

Nothing wrong with questioning studies, or wanting to understand methodologies. But to me that graph is just common sense at this point, regardless of validity.

Tourism didn't miss a beat in NNE this summer. In fact it felt busier in the PWM area than past years. The major outbreaks in Maine have been linked to Churches and a wedding, both where people were indoors and unmasked. I haven't heard of any outbreaks related to out of staters.

Newbury, NH 1300'

Amazing photo. Wow. I remember sitting on Ferry in June a few years ago looking over the train tracks thinking "that's a curious cloud". When it hadn't moved 20 minutes later I realized it was the snow on top of MWN.

I can walk a mile up the street and see it here in South Portland, as long as it's not shrouded in clouds.

Hillside kills the rad cooling. Yep, and I'm in a relative pit at my spot. As much of a pit you can be in for the coast.

28.2F. Too funny

I'm actually in South Portland, near the Scarborough line. I, too, am often the victim of the 7-10 split so not surprised to hear that.

0.04". Shocking .08" boo yeah. I think that pushed me over 5" since July 1 so I got that going for me.

Yeah I never bother to call as only time did an outage last more than a few seconds (3 hours). Its not just y house either, the whole street/neighborhood goes down.

Same exact thing happens here, so bizarre

Yessah, that's him. He was in Scarborough on Tuesday, in my neighborhood on the Scarborough line last night, found his way across town by morning. Wonder if he got run off his turf by a bigger bull. Certainly no mates in the area.

Moose just hanging on the beach in South Portland. Been strutting around town the past 2 days.

0.44" here, making that 0.70" for the month.

31.8 here on the coast. Our spots couldn't be more different when it comes to rad cooling.

Looking into this a bit more... are they eating your plants? Are they a green color? Apparently the green guys are beneficial.

FYP

@OceanStWx I'm not sure what might work specifically for lace bugs, but if it's possible, don't kill off any wasp nests as they're natural predators. We've let wasps "be" this summer, as well as spiders and yellow jackets, and have had fewer bug issues than any past year. It's hard to do when you have kids running around, but as long as the nest isn't on or in their play area, the wasps keep to themselves.

Apologies, I should have clarified. My statement should have read: Bodes well for other indoor weddings where people are carrying on as if times were normal. I have a friend getting married next weekend indoors - DJ, open bar, no reduction in the invitation list. No mention of masks in the invitation. So they're leaving it up to the attendees; maybe some will wear and some will won't, but unless everyone does it kind of defeats the purpose. There are plenty of weddings taking place where people have made modifications. Smaller size, outdoors, mask wearing. Agreed, you won't hear about those, and that is completely biased. Having an indoor wedding right now with no modifications is a bad idea regardless of media agenda.

Yep, and none of the deceased attended the wedding. All secondary spread. Bodes well for other indoor weddings happening over the next month. People are selfish/dumb.

I agree, after the election results are announced there will be chaos. Unless you live in a major city the best thing you can do is turn off your TV and log out of twitter/reddit/facebook. Because you're not going to see chaos in suburbantown USA. But if you sit glued to the TV/internet then yeah, you're going to think that's reality everywhere, including your backyard. Social media is poison (I understand this is social media, too) and perception is spoon fed - you can choose to keep your mouth open or not.

Hi.

As is his congregations choir......
