“Incessantly scouring the uni-verse (and my back yard) for theweird, the wacky, and thethoughtful so you don’t have to.”

Hey, Happy Anniversary... to me!I have completed just over oneyear at my new job (not so newanymore), and I still haven’t beenfired yet – maybe I know toomuch (or maybe it’s those pic-tures I have and threatened torelease). Seriously, what a differ-ence from my past career! We allwork together, no one is betterthan anyone else, and we watchout for each other. There are nooversized bullies or backstabbersor walking on egg shells around(way around) anyone. (Yes, I ampassive aggressive, which is waybetter than being a malignant nar-cissistic bully any day).

The hoo-ha over Donald Trump’scomments about Mexico (andJohn McCain) is a good thing; agreat thing actually! Really!Unlike most politicians, he sayswhat he believes, like it or not,true or not. It’s what he genuinelybelieves, and that lets votersjudge him on his stated ideas.The vanilla PC words spewing

forth from most politicians areunadulterated hooey! Glitteringgeneralities! Tell us your truth –who you really are and how youare going to do what you say youwill do - and let the chips fallwhere they may (and our votes)!(Using The Donald as an exam-ple, picture two people are talk-ing. One says he’s a complete[fill in nasty word here]! Theother sees him as the secondcoming, a breath of fresh air!Who’s right? Is it possible theyboth are?)

The neat thing about being ‘aregular’ at a restaurant is thatwhen changes are made, onenotices and can offer feedback. Ibelieve people want consistencyso that when they order some-thing, they know what they aregetting. For example, I was ableto discern whether the day orevening cook made the hot andsour soup at HKG (both great butsubtly different). When batterand seasonings were changed onlocal chicken tenders, I knew itright away. And when tomatowedges were changed to smallslices in a salad, again I noticed(especially after a raise in price).

I am now experimenting withmaking my own lunch.

There is a major differencebetween ‘not guilty’ and ‘inno-cent.’ So, when a person is found‘Not Guilty,’ it certainly doesn’tmean they are Innocent. Justsayin’.

I like taking some of the quizzeson Facebook (as ridiculous asmany are, they make me feelsmart [I do know my grammarand 50s and 60s music]). Raven-online recently offered a chal-lenging IQ test. The real testcame, however, after the 20-minute, 60-question test. Afterinvesting the time, it seems tounlock my results it would havecost me $3. Great marketing, butI will never know how I scoredbecause I don’t like getting suck-ered.

I had an epiphany (no, I didn’tget any on me). I am way out oftouch, old school (but that maynot be a bad thing). I was goingthrough my email, and it hit methat virtually no one communi-cates through email any more. Iget plenty, but there are few, ifany, personal communications –they are all newsletters, jokes,quotes, etc. There are times I amnot instantly accessible as itseems most other people are. Ihave a land line at home and atwork but nothing in between. Ifsomeone wants to reach me, theyhave to call and leave a message.I don’t text. As much as I use it,my flip phone costs me about $10a month. My perception of whatothers are spending on phonesmakes it understandable why it’sso hard for so many to haveenough to spend on other neces-sities.

So you don’t think my life is tooperfect, among my most impor-tant possessions are my name andreputation. I work hard to main-tain both. When either or both aredishonored, I don’t take it well.On the day this column comes

out it will have been 1,052 daysthat I have been waiting for anapology for something that hap-pened. I am starting to think Iwon’t be getting one. While thereis a significant back story span-ning nearly 30 years, all you needto know is I was attacked (verbal-ly) and ordered off a property,which is no big deal consideringthe source, but it was in front ofmy family and friends, which isinexcusable. More next time onwhat happened and why I leftwithout protest.

In a moving Bit (eventually), SyAllen, arrested in England, onsuspicion of possessing drugswith intent to sell, relied on afairly common strategy: As offi-cers burst into the room, he swal-

lowed the “evidence.” As in theother cases, police decided towait for nature to take its coursein order to recover the suspecteddrugs. Unlike in the other cases,Allen managed to hold out, withno, uh, movement (if you knowwhat I mean) for 23 days — butnot a 24th. He was finally arrest-ed. [East Anglican Daily Times]

LinkedIn keeps sending me sug-gestions of people, some ofwhom are no longer with us (kindof like some birthday reminderson Facebook). Hel-lo....

Finally, a quick reminder: “Ifvoting changed anything, they’dmake it illegal.” EmmaGoldman.

BURNING BUSHHOME CENTER230 NH Route 25

Warren, NH764-9496

Two couples came north fromMassachusetts last weekend.They were intent on hikingMount Adams, the second high-est peak in New Hampshire.Like its neighbors in theNorthern Presidential Range,Madison and Adams, there is asignificant distance above tree-line to cover before reachingthe summit. When I told themthe forecast was for a goodchance of thunderstorms in thehigher summits, they were stillintent on climbing it sincethey’d planned for it for solong. Eventually, however,cooler and smarter heads pre-vailed.

When the weekend started, theweather was miserable. OnFriday, there was a lot of rain,and while it eased up bySaturday morning and becamerain showers, the higher sum-mits forecast was still quitedangerous.

So they went home andskipped their second night inthe mountains.

They explained that they didn’tmind getting wet, but theywanted to climb Mount Adamsor nothing at all. So it was backto Massachusetts. Trying not tobe too judgmental I thoughtabout what an opportunity theymissed. There are many moun-tains to choose from up here,some with views, some with-out. Either way, the experienceand the exercise in climbing apeak will stay with you longafter you returned home.

With this foursome in mind, Ithought I’d list a few mountainsworth climbing where there arenot significant views. One ofthe Mount Tecumseh. I alwayssaved it for days when theweather wasn’t at its best. Yes,there are views, but you don’tclimb Tecumseh for the viewsfor they are limited. The samecan be said of Mount Hale,which, like Tecumseh, is a4,000-footer. There is still aview from Hale if you climbatop the giant cairn of rocks onthe summit. Unfortunately, overthe last ten years, the ring oftrees around the summit contin-ues getting higher and higherand I wonder how long it willbe you won’t be able to see overthem.

On the way to MountWaumbek, Mount Starr King, amile away, offers a limitedview, once again it’s over trees.

And if you walk a couple ofminutes beyond the summit ofMount Waumbek you’ll cometo a blowdown area with a viewof the Northern Presidentials.It’s neighbor in the far northregion, Mount Cabot also hasvery limited views or more likenone at all. All of those listedso far a four thousand-footpeaks.

Drop down below four thou-sand feet, and your optionsmultiply. But more importantthan smaller peaks on rainydays, take advantage of water-fall hikes, or pond and lakehikes. A favorite is hiking out toLucy Falls from Route 302, andby extending it all the way youget the rare view of mountainsfrom the valley up at NorcrossPond.

When Atticus and I were likethe foursome who came northlast weekend, and lived inMassachusetts and traveled tohike, we came north with fourchoices in mind. In optimalweather, we’d get above tree-line. In less than optimal, butstill safe enough to climb, we’dhike another mountain wherethe views were not the highpoint of the experience. Thethird choice was to hike towaterfalls like Bridal Veil Fallsor Champney Falls. And thefourth, well the fourth was justto hang out in the WhiteMountains and read a book inthe cabin or have breakfast atPolly’s Pancake Parlor or lunchat Half Baked and FullyBrewed.

The point is – there are always

choices. An amazing number ofthem when you consider it. Sohike what the weather gods giveyou, and if they don’t give youmuch of anything, walk to awaterfall after a good batch ofpancakes.

The mountains, as they say, arenot going anywhere

Native American Dig To End Soon In Holderness___________________________________________________Scheduled to end by July 31,archaeological students havebeen hard at work here uncover-ing bits and pieces of what wasleft behind from NativeAmerican occupancy, datingfrom as long ago as 4,000 years.

Under the watchful eye of statearcheologist Dr. RichardBoisvert, two dozen studentshave been at work uncoveringartifacts while looking for otherclues to those who occupied thearea around the Squam River thatmany years ago.

In what the chief investigatingarcheologist of the day describedback in 2001, as “...one of the

largest known pre-European con-tact sites in the state of NewHampshire.” Dr. Robert Goodbywas referring to artifacts datingback to a far earlier time recov-ered from alongside Davison'sBrook in a field owned by theSquam Lake Natural ScienceCenter. This investigation cameabout due to the relocation ofstate Route 113, construction ofan improved state boat launchramp, an adjacent parking lot andexcavation for a new visitor'scenter and accompanying sewageleach field. Under Sec. 106 of theNational Historic PreservationAct (P.L. 89-665) an immediatestop to any federally-fundedproject where Native remains are

found was required. Dr. Goodbyspoke of this last week at theLake Winnipesaukee Museum inWeirs Beach.

Davison's Brook, where it flowsinto the river between the twoSquam Lakes, was an ideal loca-tion for Natives long beforewhite settlers arrived – at a timewell before there was a NH. Asouthern exposure surrounded byhillsides and with ample gameand fish, it sustained a seasonalpopulation of Natives. Somewould say the very first “summerfolks.” Today's dig is not that farfrom this earlier discovery. It isthought that Natives, most likelyWestern Abenaki-speaking

Pennacook tribesmen andwomen, occupied substantialportions of what make up today'slakeside village here.

Today's exploration is being heldunder a program called SCRAP –State Conservation and RescueArchaeology Program – wherestudents at all levels can earn col-lege credits for their work. TheHolderness Historical Societyhas taken out a membership ashave others. At sometime in thefuture Dr. Boisvert will presenttheir findings to the Society.

Thus far several shards, or chipsand fragments struck off stoneimplements, have been uncov-

ered. And two weeks ago investi-gators dug up fragments of earlypottery indicating the use of lake-side clays. In the past this site hasyielded what archaeologists referto as a pecked and polished stonegouge, a stoneEvery find is care-fully measured, photographed,related to other finds and coordi-nated through GPS coordinates.It is critical to know just wherethey were found. Pits yieldingnothing are also very importantfor they tell archaeologists whereno activity took place.

For quality control the SCRAPProject here is being conductedunder standards established bythe National Park Service

Dear Old Home DayCommittee,

Warren Village School's 8thgrade class would like to thankyou for your support during OldHome Day.

We raised $2,459.00 for ourclass trip to Washington, DCnext spring. We'd also like tothank the Warren residents, vis-itors to our town, and our par-ents and families who donated

food for us to sell and helpedout at our BBQ stand. Weenjoyed helping you with thebouncy houses, penny pitch and50/50 raffles.

Special thanks to Mr. Cass whohelped set this all up andflipped burgers and dogs for usall weekend.

Sincerely,WVS Class of 2016

So lets talk about the parts ofthe State budget that gets no air.

When it came time to puttogether her budget, theGovernor had granted theDept. of Fish & Game (dept ofbait hunting and fishing) $1.5million bucks from the generalfund, allowed the dept. to raiddedicated funds within the deptie: wildlife and fisheriesrestoration funds and the boatramp funds. All of this to offsetthe shortfall in the dept., as ifthere ever was a shortfall.

The House Finance gave thedept. $600,000 to be used forsearch and rescue overtime,$300,000 per year for the nexttwo years, and that's it. Thencame the Senate Finance to putin what is most important tothem, retaining voter’s votes.

The Hunting and fishing mem-bers only club (F&G) walkedin, sat down and with an air ofarrogance, proceeded to ask forthe Senate to restore the $1.5million to the dept so they couldgive all of the 191 state workersin that department a pay andbenefits raise. What happenedto the shortfall?

The lamp was rubbed and the"Jeanie" in the bottle grantedthe the dept $1.2 million tospend on pay increases, orwhatever the dept wants to dowith the dough. This money isnot "earmarked". Hats off to theSenate finance, you fell underthe spell of funding a depart-ment that you know little tonothing about.

What was the promised price,200,000 votes? What is yourvoter base? last year the Senategave that dept $750,000, nowthe Senate wants to grant themtheir wish for more pay andbennie's.

Wake up, this will not be a onetime deal, for you see, two yearsfrom now we will shell outanother $1.2 million to keep up

with the new pay scale, and thebiannual after that, and afterthat, and after that, and.....

Strange how all of our stateemployees aren't getting payraises, just the chosen few.

The next item on the agendawould have to be the $48 mil-lion that Maggie wanted to putinto the drug and alcohol pro-grams. The House Financedropped the number down to$28 million, then came theSenate Finance who broughtthe number back up to $42 mil-lion.

I do not remember asking any ofthe candidates who ran foroffice to throw this or any kindof monies into these programsthat DO NOT WORK, never didand never will. This kind ofbleeding heart spending of taxpayer moneys has been goingon, like, forever. Its a campaignbid for re-election to fight thewar on stupid and I don't carehow much money you throw atit, you cant fix stupid.

If you want to kill yourself withharmful drugs and drown your-self in the bottom of a bottlethan knock yourself out. Whyshould the tax payer be heldresponsible for your stupidity?By the way, they hide informa-tion on harmful drugs and theeverlasting effects of booze inbooks. Every one who thinksthat throwing $42 million bucksinto drug and alcohol programswill solve the problems, pleaseraise your hands. How muchwill be enough, 50, 75, 100 mil-lion? I'm 57 years old and havebeen hearing from every politi-cian that ever came down thepike of how they were going tofight the war on drugs and allthe billions, we in this countryhave spent, over all of thoseyears and all that has come of itis more and more jobs forenforcement and administrationbut after all, that is where allthe votes come from, isn't it.

Rest assured that two yearsfrom now when the next budgetis formulated there will be mil-lions upon millions more need-ed for these programs that don'twork. When I voted last year forthe Red, Right, Republicans Iwas expecting less governmentand less spending. Increase instate employee pay increasesthe state retirement require-ments that tax payers pick upthe tab on.

Increasing programs that don'twork result in more administra-tive requirements, in otherwords more state employees.What happened to the less gov-ernment / less spending? Icould have voted for the BlueDemocrats, at least I knowwhat to expect from them, thesame results.

In 2016, I think I'll just skip thevoting for state Reps andSenators. and just vote for thePresidential race, and I'll playthe "Trump" card, at least the"Donald" will not be manipu-lated by the main stream politi-cal team.

Waking to a StormGoing to bed that night, Ryan andI assumed the humid heat of theday - not to mention the sweat ofthe day’s work - would quicklysend us into a deep sleep.

In the warm air of our loft, wedrifted off after reading just a fewpages in our respective books.The rumble of thunder continuedin the distance, as it had for muchof the evening. Thought it wasnow a cooler breeze that blew inthe window, the stifling humiditywas slow to dissipate. So sleepy,yet it was a fitful rest thanks tothe heat, the occasionalrain/sleet/hail mix, and Mica’s

whimpers as thunder clappedabout our hill. The night contin-ued, shrouded in the mists andclouds of both humidity andshowers, punctuated - as was oursleep - by the repeated meetingsof battling weather fronts.

At no moment was our restless-ness more pronounced than theearly morning hours, before day-break, when a storm cell burstdown on our land, our hill, ourtown, perhaps our county.Repeated lightning strikes lit upthe night as if it were afternoon,while thunder drowned out whatshock hadn’t already eliminatedfrom our few exchanges. Thewind whipped. Hard. Like anencircling train it whistled and

screeched, howling its power.“The greenhouse!” was my firstthought; awe, my second.Expletives summed up Ryan’simpression. The crack of a treewas undeniable.

Did it last a minute? Two?Perhaps not even. Time elongat-ed as seconds slowly ticked.

We fell back to sleep, fitfully;come daybreak we were moreexhausted than when we firstclimbed the ladder to our loft theprevious evening.

I grimaced before stepping out

once morning came, stiffeningmy back against the damage Iwas fearful to see. Then…

Nothing.Nothing had changed.

The bright reds, yellows, andoranges of our front flower gar-den greeted me nonchalantly.The white phlox, in fact, seemedto have put out a few new flowersto mark the occasion. The zuc-chini was still growing tall, thecomfrey proudly reaching aboutits garden companions. The peasweren’t shaken at all, and theparsnip stalks laden with seed

still stood sturdily above myhead. The growing gladiolaswere untouched. How? Leavingthe property that morning, limbsand branches were town down,strewn were the wind had leftthem. A glance about the woods,and the mark of the storm wasundeniable.What a juxtaposition, and what asurprise. The resilience of seem-ingly fragile garden treasuresamidst the violent turbulence ofthe storm astounded me.

The sunflowers didn’t seem sur-prised, though, so why should Ibe?

A public hearing on proposedNew Hampshire freshwater fish-ing rule changes for 2016 will beheld at 6:00 PM on Wednesday,August 5, 2015, at the N.H. Fishand Game Department, 11 HazenDrive, Concord, N.H.

Fish and Game Department isproposing to adopt variousamendments to rules regardingfreshwater fishing; the changeswould become effective January1, 2016. The proposed rules would:• Clarify that there are no limitson white suckers or rock bass;• Change the rules for CaldwellPond in Alstead and HogbackPond in Greenfield so that neitherare regulated as trout ponds;• Change the closing date toSeptember 30 for taking troutfrom the segment of theAndroscoggin River upstream ofErrol Dam to Lake Umbagog(currently November 30);• Re-categorize a segment of

the Contoocook River so that it isno longer regulated as fly-fish-ing-only waters and so that thetrout bag limit is liberalized;• Change the rules for a seg-ment of the Magalloway River,the Swift Diamond River, andDead Diamond River so that theclosing date for taking trout ismoved to September 30 (current-ly November 30 in Magallowayand October 15 in Swift andDead Diamond);• Change the rules for a sectionof the Piscataquog River in NewBoston to remove the delayedharvest rule for trout;• Change the rules for theConnecticut River above theRoute 114 bridge to no-take, arti-ficial lures and flies only prior tothe fourth Saturday in April;• Alter bag limits on Maine-New Hampshire interstate watersfrom applying to combined troutspecies to applying to individualtrout species, and adjust limitsand seasons for various other

Living on the Fledge

On a recent afternoon, I wasdriving on my road in Thetfordwhen I saw a baby ruffedgrouse about the size of a pincushion scurry into the bushes.I had the same impulse I did asa 10-year-old when I scoopedup a baby blue jay hoppingaround on a neighbor’s lawn: Iwanted to “rescue” it. Instead, I

kept driving, leaving the tinybird to its fate.

Fledging is perilous for all birds– most won’t survive their firstyear – but what exactly is thatprocess? Do nestlings knowwhen to leave or do the parentssignal when it’s time? Do theyall go at once? Will the parentscontinue to protect and feed

them after they have fledged?And what should I have done, ifanything, to help that babyruffed grouse?

For most birds, instinct drivesthem to depart, said RobynBailey, NestWatch ProjectLeader at the Cornell Lab ofOrnithology. “Nestlings beginexercising their flight musclesand standing on the edge of thenest without any encourage-ment from the parents,” she

explained. “They typicallyleave the nest on their own,when they’re ready.”

Among songbirds, all the youngfrom one nest typically fledgewithin 24 hours of each other.This sudden departure unfoldsevery year with the phoebesnesting on the side of my house.One afternoon the nest is over-flowing with baby birds and thenext it is empty and still.Songbirds incubate their eggsonce they are all laid, resultingin the eggs hatching, more orless, all at once. This is not thecase with birds of prey, saidBailey, which incubate theireggs as they are laid, so thathatching and fledging occur instaggered increments.

While most nestlings need no

encouragement to fledge, cavi-ty-nesting ducks, such as hood-ed mergansers and wood ducks,are exceptions to the rule. Just24 hours after her eggs hatch, amother wood duck will leavethe nest – often a hole high upin a tree – check for predators,and then call to her young toleap down. She doesn’t helpthem, explained Bailey, but shelets them know it’s time toleave.

Despite the perils of fledging, itis in a bird’s best interest to doso as soon as possible, first andforemost because predatorsmay find the nest. The otherreason is better access to food.“Being a helpless nestlingmeans you have to wait for fooddeliveries,” said Bailey.

But that doesn’t mean they areleft to fend for themselves.Most birds will continue to feedtheir young for days, weeks, oreven months after fledging. Forbirds of prey, the maturationprocess takes much longer thanit does for songbirds, said SaraEisenhauer, Director of theCenter for Wild BirdRehabilitation at the VermontInstitute of Natural Science(VINS). “It takes months forraptors to fully develop andbecome independent,” she said.During that time the young willreturn to the area of the nest forregular feedings.

But even with their parents’help, fledglings are extremelyvulnerable. Which brings meback to the baby ruffed grouse.Had I done the right thing whenI did nothing at all? I had,according to Eisenhauer.Between mid-May and lateSeptember, VINS receives hun-dreds of calls from people fret-ting about a baby bird they havefound on the ground. “Westrongly encourage folks not todisturb the fledgling bird, forconstant interference will dis-courage the parents from com-ing to it,” said Eisenhauer.”Best to watch from a distanceand let the parent do its job.

The day after my briefencounter with the younggrouse, I was walking very nearwhere I had spotted it. As Icrested a low knoll, severalbaby ruffed grouse skitteredinto the woods. Their motherappeared, flapped her wings,squawked, and franticallypaced. I hurried away to easeher distress, and as I lookedback, she slipped into the thick-et, following her chicks.

Tek Talk...With Eli Heath Of Paige Computer Services

Tech Tips, Talk & Advice For Your Computer

You see them in hotels and air-ports; you may have used one ina library or copy center or inter-net café. I am talking aboutpublic computers.

There are some precautions youmust take when using thesecomputers. There are severalways you can protect your iden-tity while using a public com-puter here are just a few.

Watch for over the shouldersnoops, when using a publiccomputer you need to be awareof your surroundings there maybe someone watching you asyou type and the web site thatyou are on.

Do not enter sensitive infor-mation, such as name or socialsecurity numbers, keep in mindsomeone may have installedkey logging software or a don-gle attached to the keyboardthat would log all your informa-tion as you type.

Chat programs such as yahoomay be logging your conversa-tion so any personal informa-tion you chat about may besaved on the computer forsomeone to read later.

Do not save any login infor-mation, when you log on to aweb site and it ask you for apassword a window may pop upasking you do you want to savethis information, say NO!

If you say yes your passwordwould be saved on the comput-er for easy retrieval later. Many

programs such as instant mes-sengers give you the option forauto logon; make sure that boxis unchecked.

Do not use removable media,such as a thumb drive or floppydisk on the computer. The pub-lic computer may be infectedwith a Trojan or virus. Afterusing that media on a publiccomputer and you put it in yourpersonal computer you willinfect your computer, a Trojanmay be installed where thehacker can get all your personalinformation by logging intoyour home computer.

There are some one line toolsyou can run on a public com-puter which will make yourcomputer experience easier,they are;

Google Docs it includes a wordprocessor, spreadsheet programand presentation tool. It is notas good as word or excel but itis free to use and your informa-tion is not kept on the computer,you need to create an accountwith Google and save your fileon the web so you can accessyour document from any com-puter.

Flickr is an online photo shar-ing tool if you want to viewfamily photos or share pictureswith friends and you do notwant to download picture to thecomputer this is a great alterna-tive.

All you need to do is create anaccount where your family will

be able to upload and share thepictures; you can view them onany publiccomputer.

Gmail or Yahoo Mail is a freeonline mail account, if you trav-el allot and you need the flexi-bility to check your e-mail fromany computer these are the toolsfor you, now with Yahoo youcan have unlimited e-mail stor-age, Gmail offers 3 gigabytes ofe-mail storage depending onhow many e-mails you receivethis may be plenty of storagespace.

They also have a address bookto store your contacts, alongwith calendars to keep track ofyour appointments. You may insome cases synch your cellphone with Yahoo calendar soall your appointments are cur-rent on your phone and onYahoo.

Use USB Flash Drive, thereare programs that will run on athumb drive, these can beMozilla Firefox web browser orThunderbird e-mail client.There are many free programsthat will work independent ofyour home computer that youcan install on a thumb drive,plug it into a computer and stilluse that programs like your sit-ting in front of your home com-puter, you can find theseportable applications on theinternet a great site for them iswww.portableapps.com.

Well I hope this information ishelpful, again any questionplease e-mail me [email protected] or call603-747-2201 or visit my web-site at www.paigecomputerser-vices.com. until next timeHappy Computing!
