April Showers
First we had the Valentines Day Blizzard, then we had the St. Patrick's Day Storm and now we have the Patriots Day Nor'easter. I can't wait to see what Memorial Day will bring. For the uninitiated, Patriots Day is only celebrated in Maine and Massachusetts and commemorates the battles of Lexington and Concord that began the Revolutionary War. Until 1821 Maine was a part of Massachusetts and although we severed all ties with them we're no fools, we kept the holiday!
We're getting quite a rain and wind storm today but so far at least the damage has been minimal. Main Street in Damariscotta is closed because there is a chimney on one of the taller buildings that has lost a few bricks and flying bricks at 50 mile an hour winds are what we refer to as a "safety issue".
Redirecting traffic through the municipal parking lot brought some challenges of it's own like a high tide that just barely avoided flooding the entire lot. And speaking of high tide, when did Schooner Landing become a floating restaurant?
