lights

A big smile and a firm handshake. That's how I was greeted this morning by retired Maine State Trooper Mark Nickerson. He came in to talk about a book signing he and retired Warden John Ford Sr. will do at Lithgow Library in Augusta on Saturday...

This has been out for awhile but last night was the first time I'd sat and watched it in its entirety. Pretty cool stuff. The first thirty seconds is dark so don't smack your display! Enjoy!

When I first started driving a car at 16, I was taught that when a light is yellow, you should be stopping unless you're just about at or right under it.  When your light turned red, the light in the opposite direction, simultaneously, turned green.

There really isn't much to write here, the video alone tells the story. I saw this on the news earlier today. I think it's very cool it shows the earth and what it looks like at night with city lights and the population densities, etc. Check it out...

You probably do this too. Once a year sometimes twice we as a family go checking out the lights. There are a few places that go all out when decorating their houses other people are more subtle and just line lights along the eaves.

Dr. Darryl Zeleniak in Augusta is not just a terrific orthodontist (my daughter had him and loved him) but also a great guy who is passionate about, not only his work, but also, Christmas lights that are in sync with a variety of songs. When I say he's passionate, I'm not exaggerating!

Okay, I've been having this discussion with Mac and Renee for years. White lights don't do it for me at Christmas. I want colors, lots of them, adorning the trees and streets. Otherwise, as far as I'm concerned, they're little more than tiny versions of the white lights we have all around us, like street lights.
