Remember Nina Blackwood? She was one of the very first VJs on MTV. I knew she had a syndicated 80's show but I didn’t know this about her; she lives on the mid-coast in Maine. Her home is somewhere in the Rockland-Camden area and she runs the show out of her 'at home studio.'
November 11, 2013 Today is Veteran's Day. Today is a day we remember and reflect on all of who served and all the sacrifices our military have gone through to keep us free. We remember those lost in Vietnam, the two world wars, Korea and more recently in Iraq and Afghanistan.
November 10, 2013 On this day 43 years ago, November 10, 1970 'The Great Wall of China' opened to tourists. I would some day like to visit and say, "Yes this is the greatest thing 'made in China.'" Here are a few of the other landmarks I'd like to visit.
November 8, 2013 Nothing breaks your heart like a missing person's case whether it’s an elderly person, baby, adult or teenager. It has been about a month since 15 year old Abigail (Abby) Hernandez was last seen on October 9, 2013 leaving Kennett High School in North Conway.
November 8, 2013 If there is one thing I'm impatient about and quite honestly horrible at is cooking meals beyond Shake n' Bake, spaghetti and burgers on the grill. So for Day 8 in the line of November 'Thank Yous' I am thankful for a wife who likes to cook.
November 7, 2013 What would you do with $10,000 if you couldn’t use it to pay bills? Would you buy a car? Would you take a trip somewhere fancy?
November 7, 2013 Better late than never I suppose. My November, ‘Thank You’ for day number seven is I am thankful for living in a fairly safe part of the country and for that matter the world. Little old Auburn, Maine may not be the most exciting or coolest place to be but I can pretty much go anywhere in town without looking over my shoulder for someone to mug me or worse.
November 7, 2013 Here is another example of Government vs. the free will and choice of the people and private business. We all know trans fats are bad for you and most foods now no longer include them just by way of companies deciding on their own not to include them.

Blockbuster has closed has their doors. The video store era is the biggest industry that I can think of that in my living memory began, thrived and faded. There a few smaller mom and pop stores still going like Alpha Video in Augusta who in my opinion should be supported as often as possible.
November 6, 2013 Lewiston-Auburn’s bus service is being spread thin due to needed maintenance on the buses. The cities’ Citylink bus system is now running on just four buses for seven of nine routes. This story got me thinking about public transportation. I’m speaking to those who live in Bangor, Lewiston-Auburn (L/A), Portland or really any other smaller city. Have you ever ridden a city bus to get from one place to another either out of necessity or convenience?
