    King eiders pub in damriscotta maine. These are 2-8 years old from dodge cove.

    It’s like when I had my first beef rib at black’s in lockhart. The standard has been set.

    When you posted pictures of the other rolls, I thought "it's going to be night and day for him when he gets to Red's" because it was for me. I like lobster, but it's not something I order often at all because its usually just "okay that was good" category for me. Completely different experience at Red's, which is probably a lot to do with freshness. Just simple deliciousness without even dipping in the butter. 


    The lobster rolls at McLoons lobster shack are supposed to be among the best in maine. We’ll likely have those for lunch tomorrow. I’m interested to see how they measure up to red’s.

  3. Revised lobster roll list: Red’s is at the top. At least 3x the amount of lobster and it was very flavorful without any seasoning.

    Just checked into The inn at ocean’s edge in lincolnville. The view. All I hear is the ocean in front of me, the infinity pool waterfall behind me, and the breeze in the trees. 69 degrees. Perfection.

    Check out the Owl and Turtle Bookshop & Cafe in Camden…I had coffee there after lunch and beer on the patio at Sea Dog Brewpub…Camden is a quintessential Maine harbor town enjoy! 

    I am not a coffee drinker. However, the wife is very much a coffee snob. She prefers pour-over light roast costa rican beans. That’s her game at home.

    My pre-game research shows whistling whale coffee bar has workshops and pour-over coffee. That was what I identified as a likely candidate for suitable coffee for her. Have you tried whistling whale?

     

  5. I arrived in kennebunkport a couple hours ago and had my first lobster roll. The irish pub across the street is slamming and the band is going hard.

    Will update over the next week as the oysters are ordered.

    Fucking bullshit. Every Nazi collaborator needs to be in the historical record so that their complicity is remembered. The fact that they don’t want their names recorded only goes to show they know this is wrong.

    The busiest establishment was a Sheetz, which after adding mozzarella sticks and onion rings to my burger had me shitting my brains out the rest of the day. It was sad to see such a perfect place left to rot

    Restaurant name checks out

    somewhere in the content maelstrom from the past week was a comment from a woman in her 40s who was a 4-year mystic alum from the early 80s

    she said something to the effect of "she remembered the long-time mystic maintenance man, __________, (she remembered his name) who would take a chair down to the floodplain and watch the river every time it rained at night"

    i continue to maintain that this was not a "100-year" event, that it happens every 10-15 years, and the institutional memory of the locals which knew this, died off before the turn of the century 


    That AP article describes a 100 year event as something that has a 1% chance of happening in any given year. Calling something a 100 year or 500 year event apparently is just a way to dumb down statistics.

    Each and every one of those people should be forced to go to every fucking funeral of everyone that died. 


    Every 4th of july mail them a postcard of their comments.

    He'll say he knew it was coming because he knows more about flooding and rain than anyone. He'll then say that Biden's bad policies prevented him from fixing it, but he'll fix it in 2 weeks and it'll be better than ever. 

    It won’t even occur to him and his ilk that he did fuck all about it from 2017-2020.
