Library Police Strike Again
Apparently, there is no real crime in Grafton, Wisconsin. A woman was arrested -- yes, led away in handcuffs -- for having $30 in overdue book fines. Looks like I better check my own bookshelves a little more carefully.

Dogs, Pools, and Motorcycles
Apparently, three things Mainers can't live without:
Dogs. Three new families/annoyances have moved into our neighborhood. All of them have dogs. Some have more than one. All of these dogs bark. A lot. Apparently, leashes are optional. Winter can't come fast enough now.
Pools. Why is there a pool for every third house in Maine? Why have something you can only use, oh, two months out of the year? One of life's great mysteries, unsolved.
Motorcycles. I've discussed this Maine phenomenon before. I guess it's part of the American dream to own something that you can purposefully make louder, just for kicks. Let's let Bart Simpson have the last word: "Snipers, where ARE you?"
