I only wake surf now. Listen for the music. If you don't see me, you'll hear the music. You won't even have to come outside.

Skiing?

Gunstock and the lake are both open. One of the few years you can snow ski and water ski the same day.

I rem ember "urban renewal" in the 60's and 70's, not just in Laconia. But there really wasn't much vision. Relying on a few weeks of tourism doesn't build an economy with year round jobs. Yes, we...

Who is responsible?

I don't think dept. heads spend like crazy in the fourth quarter. But certainly the BOS or Town Council can move money around from one line item to another. Keeping taxes stable, using such tools...

Commonly known as "Death with Dignity". Votes were 190-172 and 190-178. This should be a good indicator of the outcome on any bills that might come from the Senate.

LWA started a good thread on legislation. Let's not get it shut down by turning it into another speed limit discussion.

I got the same "Access to this PC is closed" message. I got rid of it by shutting off the power and re-starting. However, I saw the same message yesterday on a different site.

When we were building ca. 1960, fall snow on the ground was the perfect time to burn brush. No fireboat in those days but a lot of brush where PSNH had cleared their right of way. Once built, we...

For me, allowing a petition to set up NWZ, NRZ etc has been abused and the whole process should be scrapped, so I'd vote "NO". The limitation of 300', 50 acres, etc. is certainly a compromise. ...
