Watson would get my vote! (We also have an elderly beagle. She is truly the sweetest dog I have ever known.)

A canvas tote bag trimmed in yellow. It is decorated in blue with an outline of Italy, the La Leche League logo, and the words latte di mamma...si, grazie! Translation: mother's milk...yes, please!

I found this treasure when cleaning today. I bought it from La Leche League Italia at my first LLL International conference, in 1995 in Chicago.

Congratulations! That is wonderful news!!

Looks like 9 a.m. today. legislature.maine.gov/committee/#C...

More bad news about HHS and RFK Jr.

Well said. Thank you.

If attacking Pope Leo online then posting an AI generated picture of himself as Jesus doesn’t convince you that the president has zero respect for Christianity, after all that has happened up to now, I can safely say you do not care about the truth.

"Send it to Zoom!"

If you think this is exhausting, imagine being Iranian.

😭

As an American, there are always disappointments to register and arguments to engage; amid the chaos of our battered, monied attempt at self-governance, dissent is constant.
But this feeling of being utterly ashamed of America and embarrassed to the core by its president is new, raw and unnerving.

EXCITING NEW DOG OPERATIONS INITIATIVE YouTube video by SA Police News

For April Fool's Day, an Australian police department pranked their community with a video clip introducing a "new" K-9 unit—made up entirely of dachshunds.
They called it the "Small Area Urban Searching and Guided Evacuation" (SAUSAGE). 😀

Appalling!

Horrifying is right.

US Supreme Court won’t hear Maine case over parental rights on gender in schools Amber Lavigne sued a Damariscotta-based school district in 2023, arguing it violated her rights by not informing her about her 13-year-old's gender expression.

I am happy and relieved to see this decision. (The school named in the suit is our local school, and our son teaches there.) www.pressherald.com?p=7616745&uu...

Great signs!

Thousands of Mainers protest Trump policies amid latest ‘No Kings’ nationwide rallies Transgender rights activist Ella Bowman rallied the Waterville crowd on bodily autonomy, while speakers across the state criticized policies they say threaten democracy.

The Portland Press Herald didn't put this one behind the usual paywall: www.pressherald.com/2026/03/28/t...

I didn't realize how far we extended (I was mostly in the middle of the bridge) until I saw a video of someone driving through town. Amazing turnout.

A view looking down the street toward the bridge connecting Damariscotta and Newcastle, Maine. Protesters with signs and flags are standing on the sidewalk on both sides of the street.

700 of us stood peacefully on the bridge and the street today in our little towns of Newcastle and Damariscotta to protest the Trump administration. Here is a partial view of the crowd just after the start of the event. #NoKings

There were 700 of us in Newcastle/Damariscotta today.

Useful and important information.

I will be on the Damariscotta/Newcastle bridge at noon!

I wish I thought you were wrong. ☹️

Here on the midcoast we may get 2 to 4 inches. Nooooo!!

"What the Mills campaign is doing is a gentle breeze compared to the gale Susan Collins will create." Absolutely! If he wins in the primary, things are going to get very ugly.

More bad news about children's health.

A hand-lettered sign with letters in black, red, and blue. Text reads I love USA and democracy. We the people rule the land, not a MAGA conman.

Left behind after the weekly demonstration on the Newcastle-Damariscotta bridge.

Ah - I remember that stage! 😁

Appalling!

😁I was tempted to put up the outdoor laundry spinner today, but if there's another snowstorm it will get wrecked. Trying to be patient...
