Coca Cola, Mentos, and Buckfield Maine

I think I have to find this place.

Check out these two videos.

Oh wait, they tell you how to post the video on your own website. Check out this:



And to think it all took place in Buckfield, Maine. According to googlemaps.com, that's only 38.7 miles south of Farmington! (An hour's drive.)

Thanks to MRM who showed it to me first and to RBF who thought of telling me about it but MRM insisted I see it for myself.

I should enter the contest and win the grand prize of a free trip to Buckfield.

Parking

At University of North Texas, a faculty member pays for their parking permit. Most of us have it deducted from our paycheck or it can be paid in one lump sum. My last parking permit there was $140 for a "D" permit. Or I could've paid $100 for a "G" (general) parking permit or $300 for a "reserved" parking permit which would allow me to park in spots designated as "A" spots. Reserved A spaces are located very close to buildings and are few and far between but only available to people with an A parking permit. Students can have a "C" pass for commuters or an "R" pass for residents (students who live in dorms). There are other possibilities. Each one has a fee and it's a lot of money and except for the A pass, there's little guarantee that you'll find a parking space, close or otherwise.

Here at UMF, I signed up for a parking permit, but it costs nothing. I just received it today in campus mail. I'm seriously psyched! There are similar issues of not enough close parking spaces, but I doubt it's as serious as UNT where I spent 20 minutes or more looking for a parking spot at the beginning of a semester.
