We took it easy today. Bought some more stuff at Walmart for the apartment, bought some groceries at Hannaford. Took a country drive east to Lee, a small town where there is a Health Access Network clinic. That’s the medical group where Debbi is working, but it looks as if she’ll only be at the Lincoln location. Lots of snow, lots of trees, lots of ponds (we’d call many of them lakes) and steep roof lines to shed snow. High temp was 37 degF.
Some things we’ve noted already:
- The Aubuchon Hardware store has more snow blowers in one place that we’ve ever seen before!
- All the grocery stores sell hard liquor (spirits)!
- The cars and pickup trucks are mostly filthy with snow schmutz. I think there are dirt roads, because the roadways we’ve seen were clear.
- Many schools are termed Academies.
Tomorrow while Debbi works (she’s on 12 hour shifts Monday/ Thursday/ Friday), I’ll rent a post office box to receive the many Amazon shipments we are sure to have sent! Might explore the deli in town, visit the historical society and do minor things. Expecting precipitation tonight.

Wow. Grocery stores that sell booze. What a concept! Frederick County liquor officials have always been such Luddites. And yes… I know I’m stretching the use of that term. What’s the difference between and an academy? Price?
