Re: beaver island criminal

I bet it was those raccoons
They look pretty shady with their black masks and little claw feet…
Too bad the police don’t perform Species Profiling
they could have rounded them up before they create any public harm…

Re: hire a barge

Kate I think I will stay with my capitalist bent on this one. “To each according to his need and from each according to his ability”, has always been a great sound bite. However, in reality, those with the most, who are usually those who have the most to gain, end up gaming the system. Yes, there ar...

Re: hire a barge

IMHO Best idea so far! Splitting the cost of a, “Barge Run 2021” by everyone who actually needs it. Costed out, percentage wise, by those who use it the most. Reason dictates those with the most accumulated junk have the resources to dispose of their former treasures. All the situation needs now is ...

Re: COVID-19 PUBLIC STATEMENT

Brock IMHO It is YOUR junk. Lots of it on the side of the road. It an eyesore. I assume that you were smart and factored in the cost of removal of the junk (your nickel, not the Townships) when you negotiated the price of your new land purchase.

Re: Phones for Electric Outages

Man, does that me feel old! Btw, I hear those phones you plug in the wall also have a new accessory invention.... It will let you know if someone has tried to contact you and even lets the caller leave information. It’s called an “Answering machine.” Note : unless you have a battery back up it will ...

Re: Wanting to make permanent move to BI

Jake Your expertise as an electrician will be highly valued on island. Your skill is in great demand here. With Adam Anderson gone, there is no one who can work on marine electrics.
