Presque Isle treasures, Part 3

To the editor:
The one bad thing about walking in the morning first thing is it’s so darn early. As a result, when I first head out the door, my body is still partially “paralyzed,” my mind is in a bit of a fog and my eyes are filled with “sleepy seeds,” as my mom called them.

To the editor:
My mother walks every day, no matter the weather (although she draws the line at icy conditions). For the past few years, she and some friends have regularly walked at the Houlton Visitor Center.

A gem of a museum

To the editor:
As former County residents, our return visit was met with an unexpected surprise. We were invited to a guided tour of the Stockholm Museum, a town in which my wife was raised, where she spent much of her youth, harboring many happy memories.

To the editor:
What is happening?  The price of gas is falling. Has anyone tried to catch it?  I haven’t heard the “Oh, oh, oh, oh, the price of gas is falling” from the politicians and also the public, like they did when the price was going up.

To the editor:

Presque Isle treasures, part 2

To the editor:
I had no plans for an addition to my previous letter on walking treasures in the Star City, but this morning while walking a sound came drifting over the lightly fog-laden air that took me back to my childhood.
