I caught this spectacular sunset on Sunday driving back to Eastport from a weekend in Newburyport. We were on Rte 9, in the Alexander area:
The skies were stunning through the drive on Rte 9.

A couple of weeks ago I was down in Newburyport, MA (my hometown) and saw that someone had erected a wind turbine. Not everyone there is happy with the wind turbine, however some get the value and understand that we must utilize alternative energy sources before it’s too late. One of the claims about wind turbines is they make too much noise. A Newburyport resident who drives by every day says not so.
After seeing the wind turbine in Newburyport two weeks ago, I wondered why Eastport, Maine, where I recently re-located to after nearly 19 years in Los Angeles, isn’t working on wind turbines of their own. The cost per KWH of electricity here is outrageous. Part of the problem is the transport of the electricity. A few well placed wind turbines would generate quite a bit of power for the lovely coastal city in the Passamaquoddy Bay and would give residents a break on their electric bills. (more…)

The sun in all it’s glory, has chosen to shine today. I am grateful.

One of the things I love about living here in Eastport, Maine is the ability to see the stars better at night. With wide open skies and no cities around for miles upon miles, the night skies are something to behold.

I wish the sky had looked like this today:
It was grey and stormy instead. More snow on it’s way. I’ve heard it’s been a rough winter here in Eastport this year. I think Mother Nature decided to break me in hard and fast for my first winter here. If I can make it through this one, the other winters here to follow won’t seem so bad.
