Good day to All!

Is everybody up for the snow tomorrow? Looks like we may be getting a couple of inches in central Maine. Looking at the bright side, I've been told by the old timers that snow this time of year is called "poor man's fertilizer"! Not sure why, but maybe one of you out there can tell me! If it comes like it says, I only hope the roads are bare by the evening, so that all of you that were planning on coming to the Dine-ah on Friday night will still come.

A lot of you know, and some of you may not, that every Wednesday night for the past 13 weeks, Jon James from 92 Moose has hosted Wednesday night trivia at the Dine-ah. It has been a huge hit and this is our second season. I know a lot of you reside 50 miles or more from the Dine-ah and it is difficult to come during the week. So as to have a little fun, I have included last night's questions for any of you that would like to try your skill at answering questions from a typical Wednesday night. Mind you, Wednesday nights we have teams of 2 to 6 or 8, which would make it somewhat easier than trying this on your own. Feel free to grab your spouse and adult children and see how you do!
