Walked Up a Hill to See the Ocean

Yesterday I took gasoline out of and underground gas well. Put it in my truck. And drove to Camden Maine.

Wal-Mart has infiltrated the sparsely-populated interior of Maine.

Fiddleheads in Maine.
I'm told these are a little too mature to eat. There were many fiddleheads and ferns at various stages in Camden Hills. My neighbor Jaret says you eat them like spinach.

Lobster Rolls: Maine Crack

I have spent over $30 on lobster rolls this past weekend.
On Jan. 17th 2008, my friend Rich Barton and I ate the last 2 lobster rolls that Damons (an old sandwich shop) would serve for months. Before we could even sit down they took the "lobster roll" sign off the menu.
After seeing lobsters for sale in an Augusta Maine parking lot Friday afternoon I phoned Damons to see if they had lobster roll yet, this season. They said "Not yet." So, I called the Senator Inn and ordered a lobster club.
Not the same.


Saturday, when I called Damons, I was extremely happy to learn they had lobstah rolls! I ordered a lobster platter and ate it on my desk at work.


/Hobo sign for lobster/ On the way to work I couldn't help but to order another lobster roll. I mean, I don't really have the money to be eating lobster rolls, but they are awesome! People become economically trapped in Maine this way.

Vend-o-Mat Burger

I am an American, and when I get hungry I want to eat something American.


I walk down a hall in the American building I work in, to the vend-o-mat machine. (What war was this magnificent technology a product of?)


Only $1.75 and a 1-minute microwave ride.


Viola! America on a paper plate! A beautiful bacon cheeseburger, don't forget the ketchup packets.

Spring Planting

Planting sunflowers for an unofficial beautify your neighborhood project. My neighbor Donna plants some sunflowers with a shovel borrowed from my neighbor Pete.

Java Joe's

Java Joe's is a coffee shop on Water Street in Augusta Maine. They have decent food and good coffee. They close at 3 p.m.
I often overhear people say that it is one of their favorite spots in Augusta Maine, too.
