Memorial Day Weekend '25

[John Mercier]

Quiet is what the problem is.

Lower tourism effects both the Meals & Rental (Room & Meals) and Business Tax revenues.

Oh, really?

It depends what dog you've got in the fight.

If you own rentals then yes, you need tourists and all they bring with them.

But if you purchased and then tore down a cabin colony to build your lakeside mansion, your monument to yourself, then you want as little intrusion in your peace and quiet as possible.

If the State doesn't receive revenue, it cuts budgets.
Guess what the next level of taxation is in NH after the State...

Tough crowd. One grey, dreary holiday weekend and the sky is falling. Geez.

1. Just a convo, no sky is falling.
2. ONE weekend? Have you been in the area these last, what, two months?!

That being said, today's a great day to work on my porch floor...INSIDE!

The sun will be shining brightly this week, everyone cheer up!

I'm cheery.
All the rain has been great for the clover.

I said one HOLIDAY weekend.
We have had some precipitation for 6 weekends in a row so far this year. (Last spring IIRC it was 13 weekends in a row.)

All this talk about the economy crashing, etc, etc sure seems dismal.

Next week (bike week) will be the opposite: TOO MANY PEOPLE, YADA, YADA
In any case we enjoyed last weekend, and anytime it is quiet. That’s one of the reasons we are in NH.

I moved off from Lake Winnisquam about three decades ago because it was getting noisy.
Too much of a draw.

I enjoyed the quieter weekend also, got into a restaurant every night without a wait, no traffic up and no traffic home. I'm ready for a quieter summer!

Maybe some people just want to build nice houses on the lake to live in without any “monumental” thoughts going into their decisions. Sometimes envy can be disguised as virtue.
