  1. Good news, we should not freeze to death this winter, even if #PortlandGeneralElectric leaves us without power for days! And the chimney should not fall off the house quite as easily now too!

  2. Anyone have any recommendations for a queer/trans friendly kendo or fencing club in Portland, OR? I'm interested in doing either (or, with infinite time, both) and now that I have more mobility, I can probably actually even get to one! Recommendations appreciated!

  4. #Protesters rally at #PortlandME Jetport against #AveloAirlines' #ICEDeportation flights

    July 14, 2025

    PORTLAND, Maine (WGME) -- "A group gathered outside the Portland Jetport on Saturday to rally against Avelo Airlines for working with ICE.

    "Since May, the airline has been carrying out deportation flights in Arizona for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

    "Shortly after starting their flights for ICE, #Avelo began offering nonstop flights between #NewHavenCT, and Portland.

    " 'Whether or not it’s a public airport, we don't believe that anyone who’s violating anyone else’s #HumanRights, any business should be allowed to continue and be allowed to receive incentives from the airport,' said Rachel Weinstein, a protester at the #PortlandJetport.

    "A spokesperson for Avelo says their #HomelandSecurity charters are only based out of Arizona and are not affiliated with Portland Jetport commercial services."

  12. Largest individual airport parking garages in the USA/Canada: 2025 REWRITE

    Expanded Indianapolis International Airport Garage – Source: indystar.com

    The following list identifies the largest individual parking garages/decks at airports in the United States and Canada. The rankings are based on the number of parking spaces and include public parking and/or rental car parking spaces. Many of the airports listed have multiple parking facilities. Data regarding parking structures for Canadian airports remains somewhat difficult to find, though quite a few more airports are represented here than in the original 2016 post.

    Parking garage at Charlotte Douglas International Airport – Source: hntb.com

    Abbreviations/notes:

    • ConRAC – consolidated rent-a-car (or rental car) facility
    • U/C – under construction
    • In most cases, if the name of the garage is not given then there is only one at the airport.
    • Data includes public parking and rental car parking garages with a minimum of 1,000 spaces (versus 4,000 in the original post from 2016) , whether built at one time such as the Detroit McNamara Parking Garage or over time with additions and expansions. The parking garage must be a single individual structure.
    • The updated list includes the date the parking garage was completed if the information is known. If it was enlarged or expanded a second date is also provided.

    As always, any additions and/or corrections are welcome.

    Peace!

  13. #PortlandME and other #Maine communities open #CoolingCenters ahead of dangerous heat wave

    Maine Public | By Carol Bousquet
    June 30, 2026

    "The National Weather Service says an #ExtremeHeat watch starting Wednesday is expected to make outdoor temperatures in the 90s feel more like 105-110 degrees.

    "In Portland, the #PortlandPublicLibrary at 5 Monument Square will serve as the city's cooling center from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday. (PPL will be closed on Friday.)

    "On Friday, the #TroubhIceArena at 225 Park Avenue will serve as a cooling center from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

    "Deering Oaks Ravine wading pool and #SplashPads around the city are also open.

    "The Maine Emergency Management Agency website also lists locations for cooling centers throughout the state.

    "The Maine Department of Health and Human Services’ Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the following tips to protect yourself, loved ones, and neighbors during periods of high heat:

    - Keep cool inside: Use air conditioning in your home, or go to an air-conditioned public place like a store, public library, restaurant or cooling center. If you can’t access air conditioning, take frequent cool showers or baths. Cool your home by closing windows and shades during the day and opening them back up at night.
    - Keep cool outside: If you have to be outdoors, stay out of the sun as much as possible (or shift your activities to the early morning or evening, as long as the air quality is good), take frequent breaks from activity, and wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing, a hat and sunscreen.
    - Stay hydrated: Drink more fluids than usual, even if you don’t feel thirsty, and avoid alcohol, caffeine, and sugary drinks if possible. Check with your doctor first if you take water pills or diuretics.
    - Know the symptoms: Monitor yourself and those around you. Seek medical care if anyone experiences symptoms like muscle cramps, very heavy sweating, shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches, confusion, weakness or nausea.
    - Recognize your risk: Check the Maine CDC At Risk page to see who is at greater risk for heat illness and what signs to watch out for, and learn what to do if you or someone you care for is more at risk from extreme heat.
    - Check on your family, neighbors and friends: Be sure to check in on those around you who live alone, who don’t have air conditioning, or who might otherwise need assistance."

    "The National Weather Service says an #ExtremeHeat watch starting Wednesday is expected to make outdoor temperatures in the 90s feel more like 105-110 degrees.

    "In Portland, the #PortlandPublicLibrary at 5 Monument Square will serve as the city's cooling center from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday. (PPL will be closed on Friday.)

    "On Friday, the #TroubhIceArena at 225 Park Avenue will serve as a cooling center from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

    "Deering Oaks Ravine wading pool and #SplashPads around the city are also open.

    "The Maine Emergency Management Agency website also lists locations for cooling centers throughout the state.

    "The Maine Department of Health and Human Services’ Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the following tips to protect yourself, loved ones, and neighbors during periods of high heat:

    - Keep cool inside: Use air conditioning in your home, or go to an air-conditioned public place like a store, public library, restaurant or cooling center. If you can’t access air conditioning, take frequent cool showers or baths. Cool your home by closing windows and shades during the day and opening them back up at night.
    - Keep cool outside: If you have to be outdoors, stay out of the sun as much as possible (or shift your activities to the early morning or evening, as long as the air quality is good), take frequent breaks from activity, and wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing, a hat and sunscreen.
    - Stay hydrated: Drink more fluids than usual, even if you don’t feel thirsty, and avoid alcohol, caffeine, and sugary drinks if possible. Check with your doctor first if you take water pills or diuretics.
    - Know the symptoms: Monitor yourself and those around you. Seek medical care if anyone experiences symptoms like muscle cramps, very heavy sweating, shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches, confusion, weakness or nausea.
    - Recognize your risk: Check the Maine CDC At Risk page to see who is at greater risk for heat illness and what signs to watch out for, and learn what to do if you or someone you care for is more at risk from extreme heat.
    - Check on your family, neighbors and friends: Be sure to check in on those around you who live alone, who don’t have air conditioning, or who might otherwise need assistance."
