Great Snow 1717

Much needed rain in parts of So Nh and the Methuen area.

Right on cue the smell of smoke has returned to methuen. Not as strong as yesterday but still noticeable.

They thought it stood for Gulf of Europe...

https://www.bu.edu/articles/2025/public-school-enrollment-down/ Prep schools have become very popular especially for athletes. Home schooling has also become an excellent option. The pandemic exposed what was going in the public school systems. Parents at home got a front row view of what was going on. And they did not like what they were seeing. That led to a lot of parents exploring education options for their children.

Those are great books especially the Early American series.

Not kidding ..when the issue came up in 2022 the comments section in the Globe was filled people thinking there was going to be an extra hour of daylight lol

Some people think they will be gaining an hour of daylight lol

74-75...downright awful...just another in a long line of stupidity..

I doubt it...

Would take all 6 new england states and at least the state of New York for that to happen...

During my hs years there was a year where the clocks remained on Daylight Savings Time...it was awful. Kids falling asleep in class. Stayed mostly dark till late morning on stormy days.....kids waiting at the bus stops in complete darkness..at the far western end of the eastern time zone it will be worse with sunrise not occurring till 9AM ish.. Another brilliant decision by the band of idiots who have damaged the country

Back in college I said the exact same thing to a prof...he said in my case it wasn't helpful for me to ask questions..

Yes it does...

Getting tested takes a short amount of time. Around the 4th of July 2025 I was bitten by "something" on the back of my right leg. By pure chance I touched the back of my leg and it felt sore...I had my wife take a look and she told me there was about a 3 inch area of redness. I knew instantly it was cellulitis. I went to a walk in center and I was on antibiotics within 2 hours. I did ask the doctor on the 1-10 scale what was the level of the cellulitis and she said it was a 3...then she added that cellulitis can quickly progress and it is good you came in.. Do yourself a favor...get seen today ASAP by a medical professional..early treatment is always the best treatment..

Walk in centers are a good choice too
