Here's what 40 planted cloves of Phillips garlic looks like. Boring looking now, for sure, but come spring/summer they're going to be gorgeous. Penobscot River is just off picture to the left. #OronoMaine #Garlic #Garden #PenobscotRiver

Just another one of those "suckers" and "losers" who served in the military. Boot camp picture from August 1983, San Diego, CA, I was 18, just a kid. Hospital corpsman for 4 years. #VF-103 #USN #HospitalCorpsman #Doc

Yes, my videoing ability is bad, as is the clarity of this video recorded on my Samsung phone. What is this flying over Orono, Maine at 6pm Tuesday evening, Nov 4th?? (I'm looking west, it's moving north)

Here is my latest piece about how badly national media - both left and right - have fumbled their reporting on Graham Platner and why so many of us here in Maine really like the guy. open.substack.com/pub/andyobri...

Dave Ball of Soft Cell passed away 2 days ago at age 66. Soft Cell arrived on the scene when I was 16/17. Followed them for years and their first 3 albums/EP/remix album still get a lot of play on my turntable. SC was more than Tainted Love. #SoftCell #DaveBall www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCIU...

10/10/85: planes launched from the USS Saratoga, incl 2 F-14s from my squadron VF-103 Sluggers, intercepted plane of terrorists responsible for Achille Lauro cruise ship hijacking & murder of US citizen Leon Klinghoffer, as they were flying out of Egypt. Full story link in 1st comment. #VF103 #USN

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Just arrived yesterday: signed copy of @grantleephillips.bsky.social new album on smoky yellow vinyl "In The Hour of Dust". Been a fan since GrantLeeBuffalo. Never saw GLB live but saw GLP live 3 times when I lived in Philly 1995-2007: 8/19/2001; 10/30/2001; and 4/1/2003. This record]? Terrific.n

I started disc golfing in March of 1994 while living in Allentown, PA. I joined the Prof Disc Golf Assn (member # 10,515) the following year while living in Philly. Yesterday I got this in the mail at my home here in Orono, ME #PDGA #DiscGolf #OronoME

Almost nobody my age or younger has a real shot at owning a home. We need to ban hedge funds and private equity from buying homes, restore federal support for building housing, and expand VA-style home loans so working people can actually afford to own where they live.

My friend in CT, Mike Geary, sent me this video his 2 year old grandson (Kayson) who "ran" 3 stop signs in his little battery car. Kayson, trying to deflect, points out that his younger brother is eating grass. Get ready to smile. Cuteness overload ahead! photos.app.goo.gl/JDLe8x3Wcz3q...

I'm friggin' psyched to be attending an advanced screening of The Long Walk next Wed, Sept 10, 2025, thanks to @wkitfm.bsky.social, and to @stephenking.bsky.social who graciously continues to support the station's SK Movie Nights. And @markhamillofficial.bsky.social as a bad guy?? Here we go! #Maine

Starting the day with a round of disc golf is always a good start to a day. #OronoDiscGolf #Orono #Maine #DiscGolf #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

He's got my vote. #Maine #GrahamPlatner #Vote #NoKings

We DO have judges who still follow the law instead of breaking it. This is wicked awesome and worth the 20 minutes. If you do the crime, be prepared to do the time. Separately, release the #EpsteinFiles

July 27, 2025. Harvest from the garden today. Dug up garlic (now drying for 4 days) & some onions. Picked yellow squash, cukes, jalapeños, banana pepper (only 1), scallions & zucchini. Also picked 1lb of raspberries this morning (not pictured) #homesteading #OronoMaine #gardening #organic

Today at 1pm, tune in to Maine Public Radio for @richkimball.bsky.social's 'Northeast Corner' show to hear Ryan Enman (owner of D.R. Disc Golf Course in Orrington, ME) talk disc golf in Maine. #DiscGolfMaine #Maine #DiscGolf www.mainepublic.org/northeast-co...

Check out this great interview with R.E.M.'s longtime manager, Bertis Downs, by @richkimball.bsky.social. I thought of you @westofthefields.bsky.social. @remhq.bsky.social #REM #BertisDowns #Downtown www.downtownwithrichkimball.com/2025/07/17/b...

Happy Canada Day to all of my family and friends in that great country. I'm a Mainer w/ a Canadian mother, maternal grandparents (RIP) and paternal grandfather (RIP). Proud of my Canadian roots. Vive le Canada! #Canada #CanadaDay

Cheers, Season 1, episode 9, "Coach Returns to Action". Diane discovers that someone (Carla, of course), has written some graffiti in the men's bathroom relating to Diane. "For a good time call Diane Chambers", and the phone number that is written is 867-5309. haha! #Cheers #TommyTutone

This weekend, June 20-22. 2025, is the Orono (Maine) Arts Fest. Swing on into Orono to check out some great music, comedy, kids events, film, and more! #OronoArtsFest #OronoMaine www.oronoartsfest.com

RIP Brian Wilson. Loved your music. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RW8...

I was 13 when this came out. Great. Album. In the Top 5 debut albums of all time? It's gotta be in the conversation.

So bummed to learn of actor George Wendt's passing today. Cheers is my favorite comedy (I'm 60). #GeorgeWendt #Cheers #Norm youtu.be/UV8cI1U43II?...

I saw 'til tuesday open for Billy Idol in Augusta, ME in July 1984. Fan of them (and Aimee solo) ever since. This is cool!

Ian Curtis (23), singer of Joy Division, took his own life on this date in 1980, 45 years ago (I was 15), after years of health issues. Such a tragic loss. If I had to make a list of my Top 5 Favorite Songs, this would be #1. RIP IC. #IanCurtis #JoyDivision #NewOrder www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuuO...

Venison sirloin tip steaks (10 hour marinade, then pan seared 2 min/side, then 350F oven in marinade x20 min), served w/ pan fried fiddleheads (olive oil, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, drizzled w/Balsamic vinegar). #Maine #Venison #Fiddleheads

Getting ready to pickle 5.5 pounds (2.5 kg) of fiddleheads. I love pickling stuff, but it's definitely prep-heavy. I listen to vinyl when I pickle, and right now it's Eat To The Beat by Blondie. The Kinks are up next! #Maine #pickling #fiddleheads

Today's a good day for this fun and clever song. youtu.be/NYD3QtyEGGM?...

A break between showers = round of disc golf. If you're a disc golfer and in Orono, stop by Orono Brewing Company (1 mile away), sponsor of Hole #8 at Orono Disc Golf. #discgolfMaine #discgolfOrono

I am devastated to post the great Jill Sobule perished in a fire this morning. Jill was not only a genius songwriter but an incredible human being. KV and I co-wrote the Go-Go’s song “Daisy Chain" with her. I feel lucky that she was in my life and heartbroken that she has left us. #jillsobule

Sad to hear of the passing of Mike Peters, lead singer of the Welsh band The Alarm. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUPb...

There are important experiments, and then there are IMPORTANT experiments. Glad that the DOGEbags didn't take away this kid's funding... www.upworthy.com/cats-butthol...

65F in Orono means disc golf @OronoDiscGolf while listening to @wkitfm.bsky.social

My backyard in Orono, Maine is the Penobscot River. Two months ago my video had snow and ice around d the ole girl.

At 7:05am this morning I turn 60 years old. I don't feel a day over 75...
