Bristol Mills: May 2007
http://bristolmills.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Semi-Humorous Commentary From a Transplanted Michigander Living in Maine. Wednesday, May 16, 2007. A Celebration of Alewives. I just read in this week's Lincoln County News. Thursday, May 10, 2007. Another Reason I Dont Miss Michigan. I have to say, sometimes the news stories around here in the papers are so boring. Some days the biggest news statewide is about birdwatchers. So I read that, and think, "And this is news? So with that, I present to you a video of "Cops: Camden/Rockport Style.". The farmer ...

Bristol Mills: Has the Round Pond Independence Day Parade Gone Poli-tick-ly Correct?
http://bristolmills.blogspot.com/2007/07/has-round-pond-independence-day-parade.html
Semi-Humorous Commentary From a Transplanted Michigander Living in Maine. Wednesday, July 4, 2007. Has the Round Pond Independence Day Parade Gone Poli-tick-ly Correct? I did have to laugh at the poli-ticks group, though. It was good, but not really poking fun at anything, it was just a general statement about politics sucking you dry. Most of the parade was pretty much old cars, which while nice to see, weren't really decorated or anything. Come on people! And where was the Bristol Fire Department?

Bristol Mills: June 2007
http://bristolmills.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Semi-Humorous Commentary From a Transplanted Michigander Living in Maine. Monday, June 11, 2007. Newcomers to become the majority in midcoast region. Saw this on the Boston.Com site. Huh, why doesn't this surprise me. Although I'm a newcomer and transplant, I certainly relate more with native Mainahs than this group, the over educated, over wealthy, the "quality of life" people. These are the ones giving transplants a bad name. I have to shop at Cant-afford (Hannaford) with their high prices (it's all or...

Bristol Mills: Osprey Causes Power Outage
http://bristolmills.blogspot.com/2007/06/osprey-causes-power-outage.html
Semi-Humorous Commentary From a Transplanted Michigander Living in Maine. Saturday, June 2, 2007. Osprey Causes Power Outage. I had to laugh when I read that headline in last week's Lincoln County News. Actually, I laughed more at this photo of the osprey that ran with the story. Sure does look like he was "electrified," doesn't he? A friend of mine back in Michigan, who used to lose her power very often, claimed a "dog must have peed on a telephone pole again" whenever it happened. It wasn't even contig...

Semi-Humorous Commentary From a Transplanted Michigander Living in Maine. Monday, April 30, 2007. You Can't Get There From Here. But just exactly where is there? Keg), Mattawamkeag (Mad Uh Wum Keg), Carrabassett (Care Ah Bass. Ette) Valley and Damariscotta (Dam A Riss Cot. Ah) Of course, anyone that's grown up with place names like Tittabawasee, Quanicassee, Ontonagon and Shiawassee shouldn't have too much trouble with those names. Those were my favorite "tongue rollers" in Michigan. One time in Michigan...

Bristol Mills: March 2007
http://bristolmills.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Semi-Humorous Commentary From a Transplanted Michigander Living in Maine. Friday, March 30, 2007. The Way Life Should Be? Why do so many Michiganders that move to Maine stay for only a little while and then move back? So how does one successfully adapt to Maine? I hang out with many Mainers, who forget I'm "from away." I'll catch them asking me, "do you remember when such and such was there in Rockland? Talk about idiots. But driving in Maine, especially on Route 1, is a whole 'nother topic. Well, yeah, ...
