One of the reasons I find April Fools day a terrible tradition.

April 1st Edition is usually worked on for weeks. They try to be funny without being too political. |

And the related abbreviation, MMW. In today's context MMW is the Merrymeeting Waterway proposed in the early/mid 50's by Cap'n Jack Goodhue, to build a canal and lock system from Alton Bay to Dover. Goodhue Boat Yard had just installed the lake's largest capacity rail travel lift and he wanted to service 60'-80' yachts. In those days, Selectmen and Chambers of Commerce wanted large boats to come to public docks as a tourist attraction. Wolfeboro even had water and electricity on the "Cruiser dock".
Happy AFD. |

A bridge would be too ugly: a tunnel would be much better.

Bridging the Broads
Our 89-y-o friends called us this morning after seeing this in a panic, seriously ready to sell their condo. I told her it couldn’t possibly be true, but I had not remembered that today is AFD.
So between the bridge and 100 days of Bike Week……oy vey!! As soon as I saw it for myself, I called her right back! Sent from my iPhone using Winnipesaukee Forum mobile app |

Plans for Laconia Airport To become Laconia Spaceport
The Laconia Airport Authority has been discussing plans with both the Boston University Rocket Propulsion Group (BUPRG) and Elon Musk's SpaceX to add spacelift capabilities to the airport.
The old northern runway will be converted for use as a launch vehicle assembly facility and launch/landing pad.... |
