New Hampshire park officials continue trying to sort out their mandate to give the state something (parks) for nothing (no money), the Concord Monitor reports today.
If you are in the habit of drinking water, you should care at least a bit about water quality, and I recommend a gander at the NY Times Toxic Waters series, which outlines how pollution violations have increased as the EPA and states have relaxed enforcement of the Clean Water Act. The NYT put together a searchable map, too, which suggests [...]
I like comments, even the inane and offensive ones that most of my news stories generate. It’s about the only feedback I get. Still, I have tired of fighting off the spam-bots who drop comments with links to promote their own commercial enterprises, so I have set this blog to require registration (at least, I [...]
State officials are still contemplating closing some state parks, on account of they can’t afford to keep running them under New Hampshire’s ridiculous system of making parks fend for themselves financially, my colleague Kevin Landrigan reports.

I’m not crazy about cars, but it’s tough to do without them come winter in New England. I am writing now to rant about quads (four wheeled ATVS) and off road trucks. I enjoy riding off road myself (I’ll not say what, where or when), but I try to respect the terrain. If it’s posted, [...]
