First Colors of Autumn

Wood warms you twice

We got our delivery of fire wood this week.

Old timers say that wood warms you twice.

Once when you stack it and once when you burn it.

I have already had a couple two or three fires in the wood stove this summer.

With all the rain and being so close to the coast, the damp air can make you shiver in August.

Rural noise pollution – should motorcycles be modified.

I live in a quiet country setting. Birds sing, cows moo, and several time a day an over testosteroned motorcycle rider breaks the peace and quiet with excessive noise from engine acceleration and the chronic revving deemed necessary at every intersection and stop sign.

There are plenty of laws against a vehicle with loud exhaust, but what can be done about excessive motorcycle noise?

I like motorcycles. I have never driven one, but I have been on the back of  bikes with various drivers most of my life, and I have always enjoyed it.  As a teen, my Dad would take me to work on his bike, and I would read a book on the back.

I certainly am not pertaining my distress to all riders. Most are considerate and mature, but…

That said, I don’t appreciate hearing a motorcycle from over a mile away.

Low Tide on the coast of Maine

 A few miles down the road and I am on the rocky coast of Maine.

Views change with the tide and the weather.
