Reply to Life in 1970s Maine by bugmoon

The river drives on the Penobscot ended in the early 70s, so that must have been a huge change for folks in the northern half of the state.

I’ve lived in several states in the Northeast before moving to Maine and it doesn’t seem that power outages are more likely in Maine than in other states. CMP likes to send out emails like this to try to get you to think they care. But I’m loving having a wood stove, no worries about the cold as long as the woodpile is stocked up.

I’ve actually gotten solid responses from some people. Some people just have their heads up their assess and think I’m asking about predictability vs their experiences with winter storms. Two very different things. Have a great day!

Okay... so maybe you're thinking that getting some knowledge will help you feel in control.

No. Push that out of your head now. Uncertainty is honestly a part of living here, which is why everyone has been down voting you. Show some spirit and just ride it out like the rest of us. If it happens, it happens. As others have said, hard telling not knowing.

Reply to question regarding engine noise. by Machined42

In a perfect world they’d apologize and stop when asked. If that doesn’t happen, it may be easier and less stressful to remove yourself from the situation by changing motels or getting earplugs or noise cancelling headphones and a brown noise app. (Or, you know, birds and waterfalls, whatever white noise pleases you)
