Photo of the Week 12

This photo, too, comes from the first small batch of photos from Maine I've uploaded to my Flickr account. (Others will be uploaded soon... I promise!) I really like this photo because I think it sums up life in Downeast Maine: it's a maritime lifestyle and beautiful coasts and landscapes abound.

Photo of the Week 11

This photo comes from West Stonington, ME on Deer Isle. It's only one of the first small batch of photos I've gotten onto my Flickr account.

Photo of the Month (July08)

Here's your (late) July '08 installment of the Photo of Week, which is my favorite photo of each month's Photos of the Week.

(Photo of the Week 7)

Line of the Week 5

This week's installment is some sage advice from a sign at an elementary school near Penobscot, ME. Here it is:

"Choose to be a Tigger, not an Eeyore."

Line of the Week 4

Sorry for the delay. Here's your line for a week ago (one of August 7th's Quotes of the Day):

"Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one." - Charles Mackay

Electric Billboards (Banner Ads!)

Let me just say that I'm fully opposed to electric billboards, especially as they are beginning to become increasingly prevalent where I live. Let me also say, though, that we need to take advantage of them. We are missing a great opportunity here. I'm talking about electric billboard banner ads. Can't you imagine the possibilities here? "Congratulations, you're the 1,000,000th person to drive on this interstate!," "Exit here to claim your free iPhone!," or even "Exit now for a one-month, free trial on Netflix!" In the Columbia, SC metro area, where Lamar Advertising is king, a 10' 6" x 36 electric billboard slot for a month is only $3,000… (as per their website) Who's in?

Veepstakes: John Edwards

It was released today that John Edwards, former presidential contender, had an extramarital affair with Rielle Hunter in 2006. His wife, it should be noted, was in remission at the time. John, enjoy NOT being a VP or Presidential candidate again.
