We still recall that back around 1949 when we were in grammar school, it seemed that Thanksgiving had a special deep-down feeling of love, warmth, and a special deep-down feeling for family members and the well-being of others in our local area.

In the third Star Wars movie, “Return of the Jedi,” we were introduced to the Sarlacc, a creature that swallows its prey whole and then spends an entire millennium digesting the newly acquired nourishment. I feel as though last Tuesday’s stunning presidential election has turned many of us into Sarlaccs who will spend at least a millennium trying to digest the implications of what just happened.
At the Lincoln
Happenings
There is something so special about a live theater performance – the intimacy, the sense of risk, the not knowing what is going to happen next. And, with a comedy, there is also the opportunity to laugh fully and wholeheartedly.
THANKS TO VETERANS
To all veterans, we at The Lincoln County News thank you for your service. We would not have been able to vote Tuesday if it were not for your courage and sacrifice. We might not have liked our choices, but we had a choice, and that’s thanks to you.
WE ENDORSE …
For months we have refrained from any endorsements, or for the most part, any pronouncements at all on the presidential race, state and local races, or referendum questions.
View from Over the Hill Blue Jay Battle
It has been an interesting morning having my coffee while listening to the morning news on the radio and at the same time listening to Robin battle with the blue jays. He is convinced that they are complete hogs and carry off vast amounts of birdseed, so he has taken to running them off however possible.
Just a Thought
In applying for any job, there are obviously records that one has to make available to substantiate one’s qualifications for the job. The more important the position, the more extensive the records required. For anything as important as a position of CEO for a major corporation, for example, the background of the person applying will be scrutinized in great detail.

Jazz musicians hear music differently than casual listeners. We hear the underlying chord structures that support the melody. For example, when we hear the TV show theme from “The Flintstones,” we immediately think, “That’s George Gershwin’s ‘I Got Rhythm.’” When we hear George Russell’s, “Ezz-Thetics,” we think, “That’s Cole Porter’s, ‘Love for Sale.’” The melodies may be completely different, but the harmonics are identical.
View From Over the Hill Winding down
It is time to face up to the fact that winter is just around the corner and I can’t stall off any longer putting all my gardens and flowers to bed for the winter.
HARD CHOICES
The six referendum questions on the November ballot have the potential to bring significant change to our state.
Trump and the Supreme Court
I originally was not for Donald Trump for President. Now I must support him and it’s because of the potential nominees to the Supreme Court.

As an economist, I am a data junkie. I constantly peer over scads of numbers and other information to assess what is going on and how our economy might evolve.
Nature Notes New England Aster
New England aster, Symphyotrichum novae-angliae, features rich color highlights in the late season of early frost and colorful trees. The blue-purple blossom is eye-catching with its yellow-orange center. This large and showy aster, like most asters, blooms late in the season and provides a critical fall nectar source for pollinators, especially monarch butterflies as they stock up for their fall migration to Mexico. It is the larval host for pearl crescent and checkerspot butterflies.
