Once the women are found, the families really need to look into a GPS tracker for the future. They make trackers that just plug into the OBDII port under the dashboard and then you can track the vehicle wherever with an app on your phone.

It's been summer all winter but with no bugs which is the best kind of summer.

I’d bet they passed through Springfield on the way to Topsfield because of their disorientation, thinking it was Topsham. Once they got to Topsfield and realized they were still lost, they may have recognized signs for Route 1 and followed that either north or south.

Weren't those sent out in January? If so you have a year to figure it out.

The relief is available whether or not Maine income tax is owed. Those with no taxable income may check Box A and complete lines 1-13a on the front of the Maine Individual Income Tax Form 1040ME and complete Schedule PTFC/STFC.

Hey thanks for the reply. It will be a mix of activity and Stationary from my understanding. I'm definitely erring on the side of more insulated. If I get warm, I have my mid layers figured out so no issues there. I cannot believe how expensive canada goose is and more so I can't believe how many young people just walk around the streets of Boston wearing one

> Topsham police provided an update on the search Thursday morning, saying their last known location was at an Irving gas station in Springfield, Maine, about 50 miles from the Canadian border, around 10 a.m. Wednesday. They said law enforcement agencies in northern Maine have been notified in hopes of finding them.
Last cell phone ping was in Candia, NH, and the next day they’re 250 miles away in Springfield? At least they’re still on the road and not in a ditch.
Seems reasonable that they’ll eventually run into a border checkpoint, or out of gas and actually have to interact with someone.

There is a picture somewhere that shows, that from a certain vantage point, it looks like he’s giving the finger. Maybe that would help you not being scared of him.

Wondering why OP isn't down there fixing the bridge since apparently anyone and everyone who is "they" should be working on the bridge!

Private company’s pay taxes to the city which in return will pay for this bridge.

They bring in their own people from away for the good paying mining jobs, you know, people that are already trained and specialized in the industry. They aren't going to train a bunch of people from Union or Warren to do specialized mining jobs like explosives engineering for blasting for example.
At the town meeting they came to they said the jobs that would be provided would be cooks, cleaners, a few drivers, and nurses for all the miners that get injured. Someone pointed out that the area is already suffering a lack of cooks, cleaners and all sorts of health care professionals.

CMP’s unofficial nickname of “Can’t Maintain Power” is there for a reason…
I grew up in York (Frost Hill Road) and have lived in Maine for 50+ years, and in all that time, CMP has been consistently inconsistent, power is so unreliable that they have trouble maintaining it on a sunny day, let alone in inclement weather…
I had all my sensitive electronics on oversized UPS backups for a reason…

I don’t think the town is actually investing in and opening dispensaries..

Judging by that bow wave it took a cubic shit ton of power to push that boat at that speed.

Canada Goose is excessively spendy because they're trendy. They work really well, but they also don't need to be that expensive.
That being said, good cold weather gear isn't cheap. Each type has its own pros and cons. To point you in the right direction, we would have to know if you're going to be active during the time you're outdoors, or are you going to be standing around. I've got a ton of great ski gear, but I'd never wear that if I was going to be standing around watching a parade. Or at least, I'd wear a lot more of it to the parade than I would to go skiing in the same weather.
