With the election over, get down to business
Mankind hasn't gone mad after all. Now if all the candidates will be as anxious to pick up their signs, as they were to put them up, they can get down to business and walk their talk. Perhaps some good will become of it all.

Leaf blowers more trouble than they’re worth
Leaf blowers ... bah humbug. Most of us live in Maine for the beauty and quietude, right? Some years ago I bought my first home on Lovejoy Pond, a nice quiet neighborhood. In recent years many of my neighbors, some new, some old, have begun using leaf blowers as opposed to the old fashion rake method. It takes them all day to do a section of lawn that takes me less then an hour with a tarp and rake. The noise is a constant high pitch shrill which ruins the peace and quietude that I once enjoyed. The downside for the user of these leaf blowers is that they are affecting their own hearing and not getting any exercise whatsoever. They really should be banned or given up willingly for the sake of peace and quiet once again.

Republicans have only themselves to blame
There's been a lot of whining and sour grapes coming from the GOP, FOX "news" and Romney supporters. They blame the poor GOP election results on the "lamestream" media, people wanting handouts, Obama running a mean-spirited campaign, Hurricane Sandy and Chris Christie. They should be blaming themselves.

‘Capitated care’ misguided effort for health care
In a misguided effort to solve health care funding problems, many politicians and bureaucrats are attempting to pay health care professionals not for the work they do, but for the work they don't do.

One salute for Obama,another one for the rest
Going back to 1942, when I was in basic training learning to become a soldier in the Army of the United States of America, I, along with others, learned many things, one of which was the proper way to salute when encountering a commissioned officer.

It's amazing to me that football parents can get mad at students for cheering on their friends at football games.
