So the British could never find Jonathan Eddy's secret treasure.

Legend has it, that the one who finds the treasure would hold the power to overpower the Atlantic Canadian Provinces. A power that was rumored to have played a role in the Aroostok War of 1839, which was really a ploy by the French-Canadian immigrants to take revenge against English Crown. However, after witnessing this power, the founder of the treasure buried it where it still remains hidden to this day.

Some believe the former Governor Percival Baxter was once told of the location by overhearing a discussion between his father (Mayor James Baxter of Portland) and none other than Joshua Chamberlain himself, who believed the treasure caused the Gubernatorial Dispute of 1880 that would have resulted in a takeover of the Maine State House that would push for another war with Canada. Chamberlain confided into Mayor Baxter his reasoning to hide the treasure to avoid more atrocious war and destruction, and how he prays no one would dig in the area he placed it. Percival, a young man who idolized Chamberlain, made it his life's work to ensure the treasure was never found, thus Baxter State Park. Or so the story goes.

And the Waldoboro Democrat is being indicted and told to step down by the Democrat majority house within hours of the indictment being announced.

Im still waiting for you to show me a BDN front page story of the Sanford guy being caught like you said would have happened, or any other case of his case being overblown.

In your opinion, when did Colm say anything that was interesting not associated with the plot that you would want to have a long conversation about? That was the whole point that Colm will talk about things that don't matter. When Colm was drunk and talking about nice vs memorable, that was the time he said something that made people think and create an interesting discussion.

The cop at least might be talking about his job or raising his son (though we know how that ended).

Edit: I mixed the two up.

And CMP/the State wont do shit about it.

When i tried to get solar, I was told CMP needs to upgrade their substation. Fine. Call CMP. They wont upgrade the substation unless I help pay the cost.

When that solar bill passed in 2018, commercial solar companies from New York and Massachusetts took as much land as they could, rushed as many permits as they could, and they took up the majority of the capacity.

It's great that we reduced our carbon footprint. But considering all the farmland that has been lost for 15% savings, compared to residents who will get 70-90% savings by hooking up to their roofs, we got a raw deal. I wish the State would do some legislation that caps the amount of commercial solar farms on a single transmission line before the substations inevitably get upgraded. But I doubt it.

Wish I could claim credit for it.

However, it is a movie quote from Canadian Bacon. A delightful 90s film where America accidentally goes to nuclear war with Canada so an unpopular president can try to gain popularity from factory workers who used to make military weapons in a post Cold War.
