When I’m not part of the end of your day, I’m keeping track of what’s going on in the world of racing. Local, NASCAR, Indy, dirt, etc. Also, I’m (what I want to call) an avid road biker. The seacoast has a ton of great riding, and I’m looking forward to getting back on these roads. That’s enough for here.

Netflix Has Changed TV Habits AGAIN
Make no mistake, Netflix has changed the way we consume media. Ten years ago, we were going to Blockbuster less often, and ordering DVD's for mail delivery.

Did You Feel The Earthquake in Swanville
This morning there was a rumble. Did you feel it? Maine isn't a hotbed of seismic activity, but we do get a minor earthquake once in a while.
