This winter in Maine has not been very visually appealing. This ad hoc repair job was necessary because the bottom of the post corroded into nothing. This happened the day after returning from a trip to S’Antonio. It takes a lot of work to live independently here in the great State of Maine. It also helps to have a stockpile of concrete blocks.
So, what has been happening at the Maine State Legislature? Its time to update the WGHR Legislative watch list.
