Maine four mushrooms and a wedding September 4th - 13th, 2004
Click picture to enlarge
In early September I went to
Maine, a forested US territory
with miles of Canadian
border, for a wedding.
Despite some tricky
moments, I managed to avoid
an ambulance ride to hospital
with my head up a moose's
arse.
But it was close. I narrowly
avoided killing an eagle. And I
did kill a partridge while
driving to Augusta one night.
I also had some new
experiences. One in particular
brought back vivid memories
of playing computer games in
my youth.
Maine is just beautiful.
But don't do mushrooms there.

a totally different light. A Clockwork
Orange is on in the background.
Thanks for taking this picture, Steve
and Max. You're true mates.
I prepare for some more spider-clearing and
window cleaning. Karen stays abreast of
inventory control and the wedding's supply
chain management issues by phone
