Platner drops out. Now Maine is going to let 600 Democrat party insiders pick the new candidate, replacing the guy that 156,000 people voted for. Just like the party kicked Biden to the curb and replaced him with Kamala. Tell me again which party is a threat to democracy.

Sitting on a screened-in porch somewhere in Crabapple Cove, Maine. Sipping on a very dry martini and perusing through an issue of Psychology Today: Swimsuit Edition. Life would be grand.

This amused me - a very clever promo video for the tour. I've seen Billy Idol before, and it was a great show. I've never seen Joan Jett, so that'd be cool. I almost impulsively bought a couple of tickets to the show in Maine, but hesitated due to not knowing yet what the work schedule will be like in August. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mmD75yiQj4

"But for many New England residents, the Pine Tree Flag is a well-known historic icon, and pine tree symbolism is ubiquitous. Just ask the residents of Maine, aka “The Pine Tree State.” The Pine Tree Flag waves at the annual commemorations of the 1772 Pine Tree Riot in Weare, N.H., one of the first acts of resistance against British authority by American colonists. The pine tree logo is used by the New England Revolution soccer team. There’s even a pine cone on top of the Massachusetts state house." https://dcjournal.com/the-pine-tree-flag-kerfuffle-seems-dumb-but-in-new-england-it-really-sounds-nuts/

This was my view for the first 5 hours of the drive - nonstop, heavy fog - much of it thicker than the photo depicts - the entirety of the drive from the house to and through Maine. Then once in New Brunswick, the sun came out, and it was clear the rest of the way through NB, and all of Nova Scotia. It was dark by the time I got to the hotel, so no other photos taken today.

The New England coastline - starting in southeastern Mass, from the Rhode Island border, up through New Hampshire and Maine, then up to the Canadian border, is now under a tropical storm warning. Tomorrow night / Saturday would be a fun time to drive to the beach 😃

I never thought a peroson's voice would calm me down the same way music does. I am having a majorly shieeetty day and a bad device failure in the lab which left me angry and frustrated. Tried to listen to my favourite kind of instrumental music to calm down while cleaning up the mess. Still, I remained grinding my teeth brooding over what just happened. In the end what finally calmed down was listening to his voice messages again. Guess I finally found the person that makes me feel like music does. Wonder if it's the same for him... https://youtu.be/PuYQAjeecO
