    When those programs stopped in the 70s and 80s. ...those that left those offices knew this was coming.   It's just a lesser known perspective that mainstream media doesn't elaborate upon because there's no profit in news that exposes us to our ancient faults.

    This all this. 

    I'm a Massachusetts gun owner. I had to give my left nut with training and background checks to have what I have. My guns are locked up 25 ways to sunday with separate biometric ammo safes so it's a 2 step process to put all the pieces together. I have zero problem with every gun owner having to go through the same process.  

    I will go to the grave saying that the 5k lb large black SUVs with Zanac'ed up soccer moms or dad in my kids school pick up line are just as/if not more dangerous than my large capacity inanimate objects I have in my possession.  

    Uvalde is one giant political football with the media ignoring a whole lot of factors that goes into this.  Stop giving these people 3 weeks of fame. I refuse to watch the news to perpetuate this endless cycle. 

    This country has a mental health problem disguised as a gun problem and a tyranny problem disguised as a security problem - Rogan

    Kids and lululemon shorts dropping.

    Lacrosse tournament mom uniform: $100k SUV and lululemon . Some times the games are hard to watch because gaze is diverted elsewhere.

    Ugh Saturday we have a boy scout hike of Mt Monadnock in the morning followed by lacrosse tournament in Fitchburg on turf.   Furnace.

  4. There are 2.5 months where it absolutely sucks living on the coast.  March - May 15th.  57 yesterday with a ripping wind.  Played golf at pine hills in a jacket and pants.

    I was thinking about that and what happened in the Feb 2013 blizz over the Marshfield area. There are two sections where trees were just mowed down. I was thinking maybe more of a domino effect with wet snow and wind, but who knows. @amarshall can vouch for me.

     

    In any case, I have vague memories of March '84. I do remember some tree damage. That storm pummeled the whole NE coast. We haven't had many of those.

    It looks like a freight train ran through route 3A.

    Oscar's and Hollywood is a joke. Who watches that garbage anymore

    lowest ratings ever .  Who cares?  I think the slap was staged.  Hollywood tries to remain relevant.  Hardly anyone goes to the movies.

    I think it’s also somewhat the younger generation is wising up to the ridiculous labor culture in this country.

    There is nothing wrong with hard work. I have done landscaping etc etc, and my position now is somewhat physical, but I think the younger generation is questioning work practices 

    When I was 22 years old, we'd have a blizzard, 24" of snow, the owner would be screaming for us to get into the office. Literal state of emergency, owner had me on the phone at 6am "where are you" That was a dumb labor practice.  

    Now 2" of snow forecasted.  Millenials calling out the day before. Can't make it. Cancel all production.   Absolutely infuriating.  They all drive beefed up subarus with snow tires. They can be damn sure they're driving in whiteout for first tracks.

    Younger generation isn't like that in New England from what I can tell. Even for someone like me, I'm amazed at the comments I hear. Many think they're gonna go viral on Tiktok and make a fortune off that. Good luck. 

    I hire people on Cape Cod and Seacoast Maine.  What a tremendous difference in workers. Cape Cod is gritty, work 10 hrs a day in all conditions.  Very blue collar background.  Maine is millenials on millenials. Need to talk about feelings and celebrate everything.  Its agonizing.  We burn through employees in Maine.  Wanted to find themselves in a tremendously difficult job and said nah I'll go back to mom and dads trust fund.

    That's funny because I have the opposite reaction, it's too steep and wide - too much speed and the crowd it attracts. Much prefer Bubblecuffer, Winter's Way or even White Nitro (and the terrain in between them)to Gondi Line. I think I still have nightmares of hitting the now dismantled mid-station. I still have my 5 ticket pack to Boyne's three NE ski areas that I'm planning to use at SLoaf over the next 5-6 weeks.

    Ha I was arguing with my watch . No way that was only 48 mph.  Had to be 50 plus.
