Bits of Bernard (little known facts or maybe fiction)

Did you know we podcast from the former fish canning factory overlooking Cockamagoggin Harbor? Wellsa, when we first started we were up there in the offices of the mucky mucks up on the top floor, cause the rest of the building was gutted for low income senior apartments, but they couldn't get the smell of fish out, so that idea went bankrupt and all there is left is these old offices and a big empty building underneath. And seagulls. For some reason they don't seem to know the fish are gone. I guess birds are just dumb. So every time we took to recording, course we had to keep the windows open (cause of the fish smell), all you could hear was birds squalking to beat the band. So we hired little Jimmy and sent him up to Kitty's for a couple of great big bags of popcorn and he run over round the cove there and starting flinging popcorn into the wind. And pretty soon them birds followed him over and they pestered him until his corn was gone and we had a pod all casted. Now little Jimmy is a very important part of every episode of Rose and Trout, and he even has a title: Best Boy. Love, Lurlene oxoxoxo

Mary Travers, God bless you.

Wellsa, if that don't beat all! When we went to mornin services ovah to church we couldn't help but notice this. Seems some scalphoogins have vandalized the seamen statue.

And if that aint a pretty decent likeness of Hatch Gross I'll eat that gimme hat. Thank heavens the summer complaint has mostly left.

When I snapped this picture there was a couple from Massachusetts that looked a mite confused, but I just smiled and acted like it always looks like this. They probably thought I was senile.

No one's dared to mention it to Hatch yet, but we kinda like it. Saves taking up that collection and it give the statue a modern look. You know, I 'spect somehow Rose and I will be to blame for this. Have a lovely sunday, you folks. Git out and enjoy this pretty weather. Love, Lurlene oxoxo

Ain't it true. You never do know what you will find at the corner of Route 1A and the Flamingo Hill Road. Not too far down the pike you'll see a very large sea creature on top of a building. Bless your heart if you been drinkin', cause it is some big, as you can tell. Wiggy paid big bucks for this 'art' and he's awful proud of it. We ain't quite sure what it is... but Wiggy says it's a crab and so a crab it will be until we find out otherwise. Rose thinks it may be from the Crustozoic Era. I think it maybe escaped from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and come to rest on the rooftop there at Wiggy's and he didn't have the cash to have it exgerminated. In any case, we had to share this with you. Stuff like this, you just can't make it up. Love, Lurlene. oxoxo

Everywhere in Maine - for you Johnny Cash fans

John Prine should be from Bernard. I wish he was. This is the sweetest love song I have ever heard. Ol' George and I frequently spite the noses right off'n our faces!
