For thousands of years humans have been asking questions about the Universe. Apparently the Universe has a few questions for Earth too! Recently the James Webb Space Telescope photographed a giant question mark in space. But what does it mean? According to an interview with the European Space Agency in Space.com, the photo shows two […]
This gray and rainy day here in Maine, at the end of another long week, has got me feeling sentimental. I dedicate my parody of Poison’s “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” to all the toys I’ve loved and lost. I also would like to take this opportunity to wish Bret Michaels’ dog, Nova, a German […]
Asa has been waiting for this day all year – National Tell a Joke Day! Now although joke is singular, he couldn’t limited himself to just one. Therefore I feel obligated to warn you that the following blog post by Asa will contain bad puns, dad jokes, and yes even a knock knock joke. Consider […]
Carthage, Maine is the eighth stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine! Drawn here by the dense forests and the Webb River, this area was first settled in 1812 and incorporated in 1826. Named after Carthage, the ancient Mediterranean city in what is today Tunisia in North Africa, this town had a population of 507 in 1880, and in the […]
I was heckled by a hen! While trying to do a good deed, no less! Thankfully Asa was at home with Mom, because he would have made light of this serious situation with a series of jokes. Yesterday while on a routine neighborhood patrol, I noticed a chicken by the side of the road. Now […]
We’ve all heard the phrase the “Dog Days of Summer.” But have you stopped to think about where this phrase to describe the hot weather began? Well as your trusted Dog Ufologist, I can assure you the answer is in the stars. Second only to the Sun, Sirius is the brightest star visible from Earth, […]
We let inspiration flow when Asa’s World Tour of Maine rolled into Lisbon. Located along the Androscoggin and Sabattus Rivers, the Abenaki called the falls Anmecangin, meaning “much fish.” The colonists later named the settlement Little River. In 1799 it was incorporated as the town of Thompsonborough, in honor of a large land owner in the area. […]
Tomorrow is National Work Like a Dog Day. This day was created to honor hard working dogs, for our strong work ethic and sense of duty. So to celebrate, I thought I’d remind everyone of my hard work as Chief Executive Dog (CED), keeping my office running smoothly. Oh sure it may look like being […]
The sixth stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine is Paris! Paris, Maine is believed to have been named after the city in France, but no one seems to be able to explain why. I find it interesting though that this land granted in 1771 to 60 people for their service in the French and […]
The pages of rock history are filled with stories about fans sneaking into hotel rooms just to be close to their idol. So I knew it was only a matter of time before one followed me home. Recently we returned from yet another successful stop on my world tour of Maine, and discovered a feathered […]
