Maine Unemployment Rate
You can see in the graphic below that our rate is not too bad since Albany County WY has one of the lowest rates in the nation. In sharp contrast to Baraga County MI which is extraordinarily high!
Massive Land Slide Caught in Malaysia
Here’s the thing. I consider myself a bit of a risk-taker in many things. Trying to be freelance as a living would be one of them. But here this guy actually appears to be standing practically on top of a massive landslide next to the ocean! Perhaps this isn’t his first massive landslide and he’s [...]
The Power of Books
THE POWER OF BOOKS 1 Originally uploaded by amfortas62 This is a great series of digital manipulations. I like the one with tentacles a lot, but the one with butterflies is rather disarming next to the one with blood splattering everywhere. Nice!

It’s the last 10% that’s the Killer

The event calendar is now in the tab and the Polls will be updated more often. Please be certain to give me feedback, suggestions and praise so I [...]
I’m the hero of the world
I found this wonderful promotional item online and felt it was worth sharing.
