For most of the morning today, this helicopter has been flying over the town of Farmington. In the late summer, we're used to a day or two of a helicopter flying low over the area looking for marijuana. We're not sure what this one is looking for. Later in the morning, it wasn't flying over anymore, it was hoving . . . low and long.
Mainiacs is a revered term, only given to those who are 5th generation (or more) born in Maine. If you were born in Maine but you are 1st - 4th generation, you're a Mainer. Everyone else is just "a person from away". I came to Maine for "just one semester," but now I'm "tenure track" which means I'm here to stay for a while. As I was in those first few months, I am very excited about this adventure and the chance to meet the great people of Maine.

6/25/2011 Kingfield Pops
At The Kingfield Pops. This is David Mallett performing. His song "Garden Song" (Inch by inch, row by row...) has been recorded by over 100 different artists.
After a day of arts and crafts and mini concerts (we didn't go to that part of the day), there were a series of performances on the main stage, all building up to the main event: The Bangor Symphony. They mostly play short, familiar, patriotic, and/or fun songs so that the children will enjoy themselves and associate good times with great music. It works for the grown ups, too.
No burn ban here! Great fireworks top off a great evening of fun.
