July 1, 2013 Chad's band, Cold Blue Steel had just finished playing at the Waterford Fairgrounds Saturday night and we were all talking about things when a moth started flying around us. I had mentioned the only Luna Moth I had seen this year was one someone had run over in a gas station parking lot.
I thought that would, unfortunately, be the only one I see this year.
But I was wrong!
June 28, 2013 There are many upon many satellites circling the globe these days but it was June 28, 1965 that the first commercial communications satellite went into operation.

June 23, 2013 It’s called a Super Moon, and it happens on Saturday, June 22 and Sunday June 23. The moon will appear bigger and brighter than any other time during the year. The reason is the moon will closer to Earth than normal. The astronomers' name for it is perigee full moon but the term super moon first came about March 19, 2011, and since it’s has been used a lot.
June 19, 2013 I don't mind the garden snakes in my woodpile or curled up alongside the flower garden. In fact, Brad and Anderson caught a good one yesterday! That's my boys!
BUT THIS FREAKS ME OUT!!!
June 17, 2013 In 1922, Charles Osborn, started to hiccup and didn’t stop until June 5th, 1990. The Guinness Book of World Records has him listed for the longest bout of hiccups ever. He said he was hanging a 350 pound hog for butchering when he fell down and found out from doctors he broke a blood vessel the size of pin in his brain. The damage caused the side-effect of hiccups.
June 7, 2013 Some people will go to extremes to lose weight but this new procedure seems way over the top. Dr. Nicholas Chugay has developed a mesh that is sewn to the tongue that makes chewing solid food difficult and painful making the dieter go on a liquid diet.
June 6, 2013 We here at B98.5 have been tuning into the Biodiversity Research Institute Eagle Cam they have in Brookfield, Maine. Every week we look for an update on the two chicks and they have been getting bigger. It's so soothing. It's been amazing to see these little birds grow. We named them Tut Tut and Fifi.
But there is now some sad news.
June 6, 2013 It's not really rocket science...but it IS science!
I was at Lux Salon in Hallowell getting my hair done by Olivia when we started talking about wedding plans and flowers.
I want colored daisies and Nathan said "You can do that at home". I can? How?
June 5, 2013 A new material that is the strongest in the world has been discovered by scientists that could hold the future to flexible electronics. It’s a single atomic layer of carbon arranged in a honeycomb pattern called Graphene. The material is so strong it would take an elephant balancing on a pencil to break through a sheet as thin as Saran Wrap.
June 3, 2013 Something we all learned in school about the planet Venus is it’s too close to the sun to sustain life and now scientists taking a closer look at the planet confirm it is in a prolonged molten state. Venus has an atmosphere and some water as it was developing, but being so close to the sun, they didn’t last very long.
