The original wording:

“Do all the good you can

By all the means you can

In all the ways you can

In all the places you can

At all the times you can

To all the people you can."

Creativity?

 

One Month to Go!

I mostly HAD to post this here today because it's Maine*Grandson's 6th birthday, and he is really excited about getting a ride in Grandad's new red hybrid truck when it finally arrives (about one month from today)!  Only, you need to picture this truck with a black textured hood protector, black side window deflectors and mudflaps. But this "hot pepper red" is the colour.  It will also have a tailgate assist...because eventually we get old. LOL.  We have never pre-ordered a vehicle before.  If it really does arrive for Valentine's Day, it will have been an 8 month wait exactly.

Steller's Sea Eagle

Steller’s Sea Eagle, Georgetown, Maine. January 2, 2022.  Photo by PhD*Son who made the trek to see it.  This eagle, with 8' wing span, normally lives in Asia or Russia, and has been spending time in the Canadian maritimes after crossing the continent from Alaska.  Currently it's hanging out in Maine. Amazingly rare, this was a Life Bird for PhD*Son!  Read all about it here: Press Herald article

And!  Here's a video presentation that is really well done.  https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/rare-stellers-sea-eagle-spotted-in-midcoast-maine-audubon-russia-five-islands-georgetown/97-52cc6511-fd40-47c1-a027-2ec00619d92b?fbclid=IwAR32KJ2pAO2Ll72mb-vpWSBsE3O6DgE150UunMR1s5cQaFdVXPQDfudQkM
