Anybody know this guy?
This is a terrible pic to ID by, sorry.

From my friend, Kim Parent: And it helped a TON

Hi Mom,
Now that I’ve been across The Rainbow Bridge for a couple weeks, they said I should write a letter home.
Sorry, Mom but I’m so busy ‘across the bridge’ that I haven’t thought of home much. They said it’s okay and that you would understand. I hope you do. (I think you will.)
Remember that night when I wasn’t feeling very well and we were all crying?
I don’t remember much, but I do remember seeing and hearing all of you and feeling your touches and hugs…I remember hearing “we love you” and that one last command of “Go through”.
I didn’t know what you meant, so I turned around and walked through the fog that was in front of me.
I saw the biggest bridge I’ve ever seen! And so many friends on the other side of it!
They were all playing with toys and balls!
You were right to tell me to go there!
My feet kept moving forward, but my heart kept pulling me back.
Your touches became lighter and lighter and I wanted to come back and nudge your hands for more love, but I was overcome by this feeling of curiosity for the happy place over the bridge!
My feet started moving on their own, like a gentle breeze was moving them forward for me!
I can’t explain it, but I had no doubt that it was the right thing to do!
So, I walked across that big, huge bridge by myself!
I looked for you, because you’re always by my side, walking with me, but this was different.
I didn’t have a collar around my neck or a leash connecting me to you ~ I was ‘free’!
Even though you weren’t there with me, I never felt alone!
I actually felt like I had a huge cape of love wrapped around my body and the more I walked, the easier it was to breathe!
So, I kept walking!
And I would feel more warmth in the big hug, so I kept on walking!
I eventually made it over the big bridge – I did it by myself, mom. When I got here, all of my new friends greeted me and helped me walk off the bridge ~ it was so cool!
They gave me a pair of wings and said that I was now a Guardian Angel!
What I’ve learned over these past few weeks has been amazing and nothing like I’ve seen before!
We’re all the same up here ~ we all have wings and we all have Forever People to watch over ~ that’s YOU, mom !
You’re my Forever Person and I’m your Forever Dog!
We had such a great life together and I do miss you a LOT, but please know that I am so happy in my new home across The Bridge!
I’ll send you another Earth Angel so you won’t be alone.
Give them your whole heart, like you gave it to me.
I’ll check in every so often to make sure they treasure your love ~ I always did!
When you miss me, think of a rainbow and know I’m on the other side of it, waiting to walk with you again.
I’ll always be in your heart.
I love you, mom!
Time for me to go play.”

I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life. My family's dogs, friends', strays, dogs that came to stay. All with magnificent qualities and capacity for showing unconditional love. I have truly been blessed.
But it's not until God sent me a yellow dog that I really understood so much more about myself, life, what matters, how the universe is a sea of energy; She taught me how to swim it.

Jesse mixer sent me this picture, can you see the dogs in the clouds? My phone wouldn't let me flip my photos to match the angle but I did put some filters on so it was more clear. Angel is definitely part of the heavens now❤️‍🩹

Anybody work with cutting large stones? I have a beautiful chunk of pink quartz, from my Wonder twin James Willey . I would like to slice and polish and possibly engrave to make a stone for Angel's memorial. please PM me

Blast you, golden orb in the sky!! The last 48 hours of overcast and strangely unchanging quality of light seemed as though my sunshine puppy took the last nice weather with her. The inability to see the day's light change through shadows and sun, over the last 2 days, really made me feel like time and stopped and somehow I was still moving through it. It made one day of life without her feel like a week. I know you're all going to get tired of hearing this. I won't apologize for not giving a s**t. Unfriend me if you must. I feel sorry for people who can't comprehend the pain that I'm experiencing, because that means they never experienced the astounding and mind-blowing power of love when it is given unconditionally. Humans are incapable of it, our collective Ego ruins our chances at achieving existential intellect.

11 years ago, an Angel crash landed in my life.
She needed a place to stay for 2 weeks, arriving the night Before Missy's 10th bday, and just 10 days after the golden gorilla Kittay had gone missing (read: coyotes). She stayed again for 8 weeks in 2014, barely scratching the surface getting to know her.
Angel's arrival on May 8, 2015 seemed it would again be another few short weeks. At the time, we were just beginning our long journey to care for dad's cognitive issues, while my heart was busy breaking for Queen Missy, who was in cancer and siesures end-of- life care. I had no more bandwidth in my brain or heart for anyone. Missy passed just 2 months later. Angel was still there, making sure I had a reason to get out of bed. She stayed by my side, this dutiful doodle becoming "legally ours" on Thanksgiving 2015 (forever thankful to Karla Schwarz). Her Doodle magic made my ornery dementia dad laugh and smile when little else would. God sent his warrior Angel to keep me upright, focused, and hovering just above a growing wave of depression, as I lost Tiny Cat in '17, Lulu in '20, and dad in '21.
No other creature, and I have been blessed to share my life with some AMAZING ones, will ever come close to her emotional intelligence. She really should have taught puppy etiquette classes. She is flat- out psychic, could have easily been a stellar service animal. I hope these genes have passed to her offspring, so her legacy endures (she also holds the land speed record for a domesticated canine Brad Paradis ).
Dogs get dementia and Alzheimer's and it can be treated if you catch it early enough, so please don't pass their changing behaviors as "just being old."
Her time is close, the wake of her loss will be massive. She's made hundreds of friends from Maine to Florida, and changed the lives and minds of so many, it's become obvious I was here to help her do the work. There seems little reason for my heart to survive the crater she will leave, as I know the resentment I will project toward any wayward soul that lands on my stoop.
I ask for your patience as her family navigates what is building to be a profound loss, and your deepest blessings for her passing to be peaceful. She truly is an Angel that crash landed my life, and I'm so grateful, even for the pain.
Also, would it be weird to taxidermy? She's just the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen.

Look at this tree budding even though it's technically "down."

I think we need to go fwd with only building yurts... Only real tough-guy-yankees could stand to live in one year round. This would cut down on all the second homes for sure!

The vandalization of a sign with a Massachusetts phone number has lit up the internet today. The real issue is affordable housing and the loss of Green space, clearly causing angst for us woodsy locals. I hope at least with this new construction, a local company with local employees is hired for the work!
I would really like to see a property study done by someone with the means to gather said information. How many of these formerly affordable, albeit in desperate need of renovation which is why they were affordable (because a lot of them were kind of nasty), apartments that have since been purchased by people from out of town or out of state? Of those properties, how many became no longer long-term rentals (air's, VRBO, etc)or tripled the rent overnight?
Are no landlords taking into consideration that we do not have industries here where people earn enough money to qualify for these high rents? Average server pay is $3/hr! Nh min wage is still $7.25! Family-owned businesses with one store front cannot afford to pay employees what they require to live in the valley area! When I worked in the apartment industry in Georgia, the standard was: the rent should be 25% of your income to qualify. Some of these rents suggest you have to make $12,000 a month! Since legalization has put drug dealers out of business, who makes that kind of money?
Look into HUD'S First time buyers programs... Mortgages are often less than these OBSCENE rents. Even if only for a decade, you will build equity in yourself and not pay someone else to live.
We can all only afford to live out of town, and now with the price of gas, driving back into town to work for pennies is not tenable.

The hype around coconut oil is overblown, use it sparingly like butter or bacon fat. coconut oil contains over 50 percent more saturated fat per serving than butter. the American Heart Association released an advisory statement citing the link w cardiovascular disease. Harvard epidemiology professor called the oil “pure poison” better for cooking oils include: olive, avocado, hazelnut, macadamia nut, and cannola.

Coconut oil's health benefits are overblown, at best. Here are five healthy alternatives.

CMP
AKA : Canada's Manipulation of People.
No doubt they are servicing all of their Canadian customers first (as Canadian company Versant owns CMP), and then they're going to service everybody down in Massachusetts and then maybe someday they'll get to us Mainers.
Really wish everyone had voted for pine tree same grid, locally owned and therefore quicker service restoration. Also when are we going to smarten up and bury all of our power cables so they're not subject to wind and trees??

6pm
Me: "woohoo! I shoveled the deck, about a foot of snow, in fewer than 10 minutes! Easy to slide off the edge under the balusters. I deserve a heavy dinner!"
*Binges all EPS of "the Regime" on HBO*
11:30pm
Me, letting the dogs out onto the 'shoveled' deck:
"WHAT IN THE SAM HAIN! 14 MORE INCHES??"
Now the snow has a depth higher than the deck and there's no where to put this.
At least it's sugar consistency.

Happy first day of spring everyone! 10:00 p.m. tonight the equinox. In my studies this week covered it's not equal parts day and night 12 hours even but actually 8 more minutes of daylight on the equinox. So there are some fodder if you're doing Tuesday trivia today. And in other news even though it's blustery cold out, I think I just saw a family of loons,including babies on that little pond on Rocky knoll road for it turns to dirt I guess spring has sprung? Snow expected tomorrow though. This poor planet is so confused

your doctor tells you to get a lawyer for the egregious, health threatening attacks committed upon me by multiple utility companies! At least there's some validation to the madness. Other tracks on Brownfield's greatest hits album: "oh good! Not only is the chimney leaking, (and the 7th person who's come to look at it says the same as the six before him, "I am baffled")but by all accounts so is the roof." Bonus tracks on the album include: "sub paneling soaking wet" and "mold growing." Purchase now before it's too late!!
I need Mennonites
