Normally I don’t pay attention to what is on the tv, unless of course I picked the show. However, the other day something on it caught my attention. There was a person saying, “Don’t dress for the job you have. Dress for the job you want.” This got me thinking, what if this applied to […]
Dear Mother Nature, I am applying to be your new Snowmaking Engineer and Distribution Manager. As we both know, snowmaking is an intricate process that combines science and art, skill and imagination. Well look no further! I’m the right canine candidate for the job! As you will see by my resume, I have extensive experience […]
Don’t be so quick to put away your orange clothing, now that Halloween is over. Deer hunting season in Maine has officially begun, and it is allowed on many of the dog friendly trails that we review. Therefore, here is our annual reminder to wear blaze-orange and other safety precautions to take when hiking with […]
Asa here. I decided to write a song to summarize the first leg of Asa’s World Tour of Maine and the summer of 2023. After looking through the photos and swapping tour memories with Chuck Billy, one theme became readily apparent. It rained…a lot! Every weekend with very few exceptions, in fact. So it is […]

Around here the first real sign of spring is when we hear the Spring Peepers chirping all night. These tiny little frogs live in the woods near ponds, streams and swamps, and emerge each spring from hibernation singing their happy song. Rehearsals for their special nightly concerts began off and on about a week or […]
Yesterday my friend Clover reminded me how magical the world in spring can sound to a winter puppy. I was just 5 months old when I experienced my first sounds of spring with Chuck Billy. Now that I’m older, although I’ve grown to take these sounds for granted, there’s still something special about hearing them […]
Over the weekend, parts of the country experienced a “once in a generation cold snap.” The subfreezing temperatures tested even the hardiest of Mainers, weather records were broken, and scientists at the Mount Washington Observatory in New Hampshire recorded it as the coldest place in the world. Thankfully temperatures have since warmed up and are […]
