September 15, 1983, 43 years ago today: When I finally attained that summit, I checked my watch and discovered that it was almost 9:00. I had consumed two hours in hiking two-and-a-half miles. At the rate I had been covering ground the past couple of days, Katahdin was beginning to once more achieve the status of fairy tale.

September 15, 1983, 43 years ago today: Last night was a memorably cold one, easily topping two very frosty nights I remember from Georgia. Some mornings are so icy you hate to leave your sleeping bag. This morning, I had no choice but to get up and get moving. Having shivered through two final miserable hours, dozing off for brief periods of time, I dragged myself out of the bag’s feeble warmth at 5:30.

September 14, 1983, 43 years ago today: Last night was wintry, topping even Monday night for cold. Today was a perfect backpacking day: about fifty degrees and sunny, with another invigorating breeze.

September 14, 1983, 43 years ago today: A note at Speck Pond Shelter informed me that Frye Notch Shelter, which I had been hoping to reach tonight, was still under construction and presently lacked a roof. I was not going to make it there, anyway.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦔🤍 After dogs chased it, a rare all-white baby North American #porcupine was brought to the Center for #Wildlife in #CapeNeddick, #Maine, a #nonprofit #wildlife clinic and #education center.
The #animal arrived with crusty eyes that worsened into mange, a mite-caused skin condition, so the team started medication and daily cleanings.

ICE officer in Maine shooting has history of violent behavior, family and records say

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — The Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who shot a Colombian man in Maine this week is an Army veteran who has struggled with serious mental health issues since early childhood and never should have been given a badge and gun to patrol American streets, several of his close relatives told The Associated Press.
David Brouillette has a history of terrifying and violent behavior, according to those relatives. They accuse him of attacking women in his life over the years, and one shared a voicemail with the AP from last winter in which he told her that he thought someone should slit her throat. ...

ICE agents kill man in Maine as senator says victim not target of arrest

It only takes a letter of intent and 500 signatures by July 21 to become a candidate in the process to replace Platner here in #Maine.
I'm high enough right now to be a tiny bit tempted, but only because we have no radical candidates in this race, and because I'm an #anarchist who would not take being a senator seriously, not in the way they want. Because I can't take seriously this fascist regime nor the liberals who compromise our rights into obscurity.
Imagine Abbie Hoffman in the courtroom during the Trial of the Chicago Seven. That would be me.
Well yikes! #Maine will be reaching the 40 C (101 F) threshold this week! Enjoying the cool temperatures tonight.

"One of #HeyAlma’s favorite #Jewish #books of last year was “Hazel Says No” — and no, it’s not just because our site gets name-dropped.
#Author #JessicaBergerGross’ debut #novel follows 18-year-old Hazel Greenberg Blum, a Jewish girl from #Brooklyn finding herself, literally and metaphorically, after her family moves to small-town #Maine. While there, Hazel is forced to turn down the untoward advances of her new principal and deal with blatant #antisemitism, all while trying to get into #college and become a #writer. The #book is authentic to #Jewishness and young #womanhood, proudly defiant and has oh-so-much heart."
