Maine is a wonderful state.

It does not, however, have the best work ethic.

My buddy was out plowing for the State last night.

Double double time for working Christmas Eve. Not bad.

When you are in Maine and there are Illegal Aliens from Guatemala driving snowplows, you know there are problems.

The natives need to put down bottle, put down the pills, put down the bongs, put down the needles and drive the snowplows.

Maine is having trouble finding enough snowplow drivers, another sign of the way low unemployment is taxing states.


This is a curious statement to me.

They are commenting in a way on the big drop in unemployment during this 1st year of the Trump administration, however, they are spinning it as bad news.

Low unemployment is making it difficult for the states to find enough snow plow drivers. This is a negative spin, it’s a bad news story, that gee whiz, we have a shortage of plow drivers.

It strikes me that the media will take anything that happens, and spin it in some way to reflect badly on Republicans or Trump, or take any good news, such as low unemployment, and highlight some alleged downside to that good news.,

Didn't Maine make a law that you can only be on assistance for a certain amount of time unless you are disabled or rearing children?

If we told the allergic-to-work welfare recipients that they need to take one of these snow plow jobs in order to receive their benefits, I would venture to say that they would consider themselves ill-used.

Growing up, parents had a nice cottage in Maine on a lake near Sebago. Nice state...and my summer friends were natives. They were poor...but had great work ethics.

On my way into work late this afternoon was thinking City of Brewer and City of Bangor weren’t doing so great on today’s storm. US 1, US 1A, and SR 46 were plowed great. Speed limit all the way.
