Not Breezewood, obv.

This is the one part of the story that makes me think it is made up. Who the hell leaves their loved one in the middle of podunk over Christmas? Was she not going home to visit??

There is a difference?

Tell her to stay inside.

Coal country has lots of abandoned mines. Also, Cold Spring Township in northern Lebanon County is an abandoned resort town with a population of... zero?

Columbia, Patagonia or Bean jackets with a removable liner is an excellent purchase.

Bean boots are useless on snow, ice or in slush.

Get a really good pair of warm, water-resistant boots. Not uggs. Those ain't boots.

I've heard the stories from firefighter relatives who've worked creosote fires.

Wise choice. Skim is undrinkable.

The smell of a wood stove in winter makes the entire neighborhood happy.

omg... people burn pine indoors? seriously? chimney fire waiting to happen.

Buffalo Trace.

Organic whole or skim?

Yannooooo... a couple months ago that account asked those questions in the public sub. Then disappeared, but now wants to chat with everyone?

That one sent me a chat request this past Monday.

Can't make wine from those berries.

Was H able to finish the prep?

Look up Higgins, Gratwick and Duncan.

Just ordered 3 books on Maine history, including 2 on the maritime. Giving as gifts.

A good fishing pole.

Considering the GQp will control the House, and Ethics, come January, this is one stupid and empty gesture. Why not refer him to DOJ?

How about Camden? Has a snow bowl.

North Conway has Mt. Washington whereas Mt. K is a bit inaccessible during winter.

>you think you can do a better job operating the power grid

My initial comment was as a direct response to another's re innovation. Had nothing to do with the strawmen you continue to throw up. Power outages have been an unsolved issue for power companies for decades. Maybe CMP can detect that tree falling over the lines more quickly now than they did in the 70's but as this thread clearly shows, folks continue to be without power in the dead of winter for days on end. Wake me up when the highfaluten innovation of your blessed power companies puts an end to that.
