As the waters receded they revealed some of the worst roads in Maine. Potholes that were filled are no longer, drainage ditches that couldn't handle the flow are now collapsed. Some roads are under repair and some will be closed for some time. So pick your route and be prepared for detours

That's the bad news. Now for the good news. We can choose which show we want to go to this weekend. We can also Cruise down to Biddeford on Saturday to enjoy the Maine Coastal Cruisers Monthly Cruise Night.

We have the venerable Bridgton Show, which is one of the few shows that actually has a rain date and they moved it off the mountain last year. The field chosen is more than adequate to hold their show. But with all this rain that means it is also adequate to hold water and if memory serves me there is a giant drainage pool at the far end of the field, now known as the town wash station. The other unfortunate thing is the rain date steps on a date chosen by the Cumberland Farmer Club. The thing I learned early in life was to never step on farmers toes, they have usually been stepping in shit.

The Cumberland Sho-n-Shine, I've been told will not be held on the track at the Cumberland Fairgrounds but the surrounding areas. Evidently a lesson was learned when Boney Beagle put on their clusterfuck in the rain and it turned into a mud run. They got rained out last year so the Sympathy vote goes to them.

I'm thinking that the new guy on the block may be getting my attention and that Bridgton with all its charm and ambiance is going to be second fiddle.
