@breadandcircuses I sent a message to the group. If I don't hear back from them, I'll do my own thing with some friends in September.

Revised the to include "snow" in "Ice/Hail/Snow" (TY @WahbAllat for your post). Spin the wheel and see where it lands! I'm planning on printing out a copy, then putting it on signboard (with a paper fastener in the center). I'm hoping to organize or participate in a event soon in . We needs to get out on the streets and demand !

temperatures It was cooler inland (it's usually cooler on the coast, and warmer inland). I noticed there was no sea breeze! Winds were blowing lightly from the SW. RealFeel 109° because of the humidity. My own thermometer said it was 98°F.

Monday night was explosions all the way down. Last night was explosions all the way down. Tonight the hyper-local illegal fireworks seem to have stopped but the CITY fireworks show is happening because it was postponed due to weather.

I am ready for fewer fireworks, please.

lost today, sadly. The day turned out to be a beauty, if a bit on the side at , which didn't have any shade in the seats, plus metal flooring/stairs around them, which had a "griddle" effect, leaving us looking "Like Lawrence of Arabia," as Dad put it.

While is fast becoming gentrified, there are still pockets of the revolutionary spirit there. Seeing this storefront window gives me hope.

More of this, please! Vacant Portland office building to become housing

The project calls for more than 100 new housing units

by Adam Bartow, June 15, 2023

"The Portland Planning Board has approved plans to convert a vacant 10-story office building in the downtown area into housing.

"The plans from Ocean Gate LLC call for turning the building at 511 Congress St. into 107 housing units, including 27 affordable units. Most of the apartments would be on floors two through seven.

"The building's total interior floor area is 139,837 square feet and an enclosed interior exit stairway will be added.

"Construction is expected to start on Jan 1, 2024, and take about 18 months with completion expected summer of 2025."

So, rather than consider or more friendly options (or better yet, commuter rail that allows bikes), it seems that southern / / is hot on putting in a highway bypass that will ruin and land, and encouraging more ! ENOUGH! Good for for taking a stand!

Portland City Council takes stand against Gorham Connector

Peter McGuire, Portland Press Herald, Maine
July 15, 2022

"The Portland City Council this week asked the Maine Turnpike Authority to halt work on a four-lane toll highway to communities west of the city, arguing that the project known as the Gorham Connector is incompatible with local and state plans to combat climate change and that planners should consider reducing rush-hour traffic with rapid transit."

Good morning friends. This sad and bedraggled cardinal at my bird feeder tells you all you need to know about the weather we’re having.

High wind warning and a flood watch, oh boy!
