Dinner the other night
I've been spending a lot of time on food gawker lately. This salmon & mozzarella crostini is a recipe I found there, and it was soo awesome. I just want to stop school and cook all the time.

Almost there.
Fall break is so close! Almost time to visit little brother in Boston and get away from this for a couple days. Feel like this is how I'm spending every bit of my time lately.
Speaking of brother, the little dude is bloggin' now! Check him out here.

Nothing like a good breakfast
Honeycrisp apple with raw almond butter & iced Carrabasset coffee. Yumm

Been a while
Oops. I'm crazy busy, but I can still take time to see the sunsets, and they've been out of this world lately

Einstein
"the most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. it is the source of all true art and all science. he to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
-albert einstein
What reminded me of this quote was the moon tonight. Right after the sun set, the moon, just a few nights after being full, was bright red and low in the sky. Some people didn't even see it, and I could have easily been the cause of a multi-car pileup because my eyes were glued to the sky for the entire drive home from the grocery store.

Whole lotta somethin
Leftovers of whale necropsy. A whole dumpster load of blubber and muscle tissue cooking in the summer sun. The strongest dead animal smell I've ever set nose on. I was told to wear clothing I didn't mind burning at the end of the day, and now I understand why.

Last two weeks on the job
My goal is to visit the coolest places I can on the routes we have left to do in the next two weeks.
Yesterday we drove out to Eastport, one of the eastern-most towns in the US. It was super hazy and we could hardly see out of the harbor!

My Morning Jacket
In Bangor!! Never thought I'd see the day. Sadly though, Patrick the drummer had an allergic reaction to lobster and was not well, so we enjoyed a little semi-acoustic set. Still very good

Cutler, ME
This is Blueberries for Sal country. It's crazy having grown up on that little children's book, with Maine not even remotely on my radar, and now I'm living the story.
Well, that's a great exaggeration considering I've never seen a bear and I don't can wild blueberries, but I definitely get where Sal was coming from eating handfuls of berries while there's real work to be done.

What's wrong with this picture?
It's a nice gesture, but I see there was no spell check back in 1999...
And as if that wasn't enough of an insult to this guy's memory, whoever is doing the landscaping at Hodgdon Mills Middle School is cutting a little too close to the tree. Pretty soon it'll be completely girdled and will not grow at all. Hight and girth, indeed!

July first
Day of the dead things so far. This moose was crawling with maggots and the smell of its half rotten, mangled carcass is still haunting me. Hope this isn't an omen.

Rangely, ME
On today's plate was Route 4, looking for Ash trees to hang our Emerald Ash Borer traps in. Rt 4 goes out west toward the New Hampshire border. We took it as far as Rangely Lake in Maine.
On South Shore Drive in the Rangely Plantation township there's a telephone pole that people have nailed all kinds of old shoes to. I had to turn the truck around to check it out. The shoes cover this telephone pole almost ten feet up, and there's even a hammer tied onto the pole so that shoes can be added. I don't know how this started or what the significance of the shoes is, but this is just another example of how funny Mainers can be.
We ate lunch at a rest stop at Smalls Falls in Madrid. You can't tell from where we were eating, but there are pools up there that people jump into from super tall cliffs.
Iron oxide
At the very back of a lumber yard in West Peru, ME there's this huge half torn-down brick building that's surrounded by scrap metal and old rotten newspapers. On one side of the heaped metal, there were a TON of old rusty cans.

Eastport
Last time I was here the tide was so low that these posts were almost entirely exposed! This wasn't even high tide.
