Easter Photos Up

I put some up in the gallery. I didn’t get many photos; the batteries died. The spare batteries in the camera bag were already dead. So I only got photos of the egg hunt at Grammy Nan’s; no shots were taken at Ma’s.

Friday Fill In #119

Janet says: “Last week, Anonymous left this comment: “*sighs* The last two of these have sucked royally…I love this thing, but now I’m having to go back in the archives and find ones that aren’t totally ridiculous and moronic…“. This week, I’m dedicating #1 to Anonymous :-)”

1. Anonymous… That’s the name people use on the Internet when they’re not brave enough to use their real name.

2. Riding my scooter is a total trip!

3. Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, and let me waterboard you while picking your pocket and playing the Barney theme song over and over. (Of course, I say all this in love, bless his heart.)

4. Warmer weather that allows me to ride my scooter is what I look forward to most about Spring.

5. Who needs therapy when Prozac will soon be available over the counter!

6. Cadbury Mini-Eggs MUST go into the Easter Basket!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to roasted duck legs, tomorrow my plans include house shopping with my mom, and Sunday, I want to take a nap after Easter dinner at Ma’s house!

Dunkin Donuts and Pot

I noticed something interesting on our local newepaper’s website this morning. Over in Waldoboro (about 1/2 hour south of here), a tranisent was busted for having 300 pot plants growing in a sophisticated hydroponic operation, the pot having a street value (when mature) of $350,000. Comments generated on that article? One. Then, in Camden (15 minutes north of here), there’s a plan to build a Dunkin’ Donuts on Main Street. Number of comments generated? 18!

As an aside, I hate the “We already have too many X shops/stores/whatever business.” Let the market decide. ‘There’s too much coffee already,’ they claim. ‘We don’t need another coffee place!’ What they really mean to say is ‘We don’t want a corporate business in there!’ If someone wanted to open an indepenant coffee shop, these same people would probably be thankful for the new jobs created. But it’s a chain, so snobery is ok.
