Well...they haven't found him yet (or at least they hadn't as of 2am) and it seems like either he killed himself in the woods or he planned this and had a second car or a jet-ski ready to go and if so, yikes.
It's not great. People are obviously scared.
Hannaford was closed for a couple of hours. But, also:
LL Bean is closed. I spoke to a rep on the phone and they may reopen in the afternoon but as of this morning they are closed. That tells you all you need to know.

LL Bean was closed! If my memory serves, they closed LL Bean for the first time for COVID.
Anyway, stay safe.
As with any tragedy...

But. Why is it blue? Shouldn't it be forest green or whatever color a pine tree is?

The MPA has pushed some games and pretty much left the scheduling up to the schools.
There's no good solution here. We still need to finish a soccer quarterfinal game. And everything else is a mess.
There's no way to know what games will happen today. It's like a blizzard that could go on for days and days.
