#ForestWalkMeditation Wednesday, September 10, 17 & 24, 11:00 a.m.—Noon
Meet at 10:45 a.m. at the parking lot across from the Range Pond State Park gate. The program will start at 11:00 a.m. Yes, we know it’s a funny name, but here generations of Mainers have called it “Going up to Camp”. In Japan they say "#ShinrinYoku," which literally means "#ForestBath". Make time for yourself, life is hectic. Come over to slow down and connect with Range Pond’s forest and wildlife. Enjoy an hour of quiet. Do’s: Prepare to be outside, that means black fly & tick precautions. Bring a folding chair if you want to sit. Don’ts: Leave those bars of soap at home and please leave your phone in your car. Ranger Lori, a retired educator and lifelong outdoor enthusiast will facilitate this program.
#AdoptATree
Saturdays, September 13 & 27, 3:00—4:00 PM Check in at 2:45 at the park entrance booth.
In this activity, families will “adopt” a tree at the park, deepening their awareness of individual trees over time and encouraging a greater understanding and appreciation of their local environment. On your next trip to the Park, visit your tree and write down how the tree looks, feels, and smells to describe how your tree is changing. Ranger Lori, a retired educator and lifelong outdoor enthusiast will facilitate this one hour program. Printed Adoption Certificates and Tree Journal pages will be provided.
Wildlife that Lives Here
Saturdays, September 6 & 20, 4:00—5:00 PM
Check in at 3:45 at the park entrance booth. Join the Park Manager as he shares the secrets of all the animals he gets to encounter while living in the Park year round. The park is more than just the beach and playgrounds, its a truly a wild place where many different animals chose to live. Join Ranger Chris for a one-hour chat and share your wildlife sightings at the park.
Book Collections at the Park
Do you have books that you love that you want to share with others? Help us stock up for next summer’s #BookSwaps. Please bring lightly used books for all ages and bring to the Park’s entrance booth 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily.

Il sito del pentagono è già cambiato in war.gov dopo le dichiarazioni sul cambio nome del Ministero della Difesa americano in Ministero della Guerra.
Gli americani se la stanno vedendo brutta con Trump. #Trump vuole degli #USA più piccoli, deboli e facilmente manipolabili dalle altre potenze globali o dagli #oligarchidigitali.
Dovrebbero cominciare a svegliarsi.

My phone always autocorrects "shabbos" to "shakos".
Apparently people are often texting about old school military hats. I, on the other hand, had to look up what a shako was.
when froox said "i'm removing the lag" boy did they mean it
while the engine can be SUPER slow, especially in a 81 user world with culling disabled, the renderer is still decoupled from it
this means my headset was running at a cool 45, effectively removing the choppy feeling that causes motion sickness
you can see my head moving smoothly as the engine is running much slower
So reading about ElevenLabs makes me sort of wish for a non-AI startup run by you guessed it.... Alvin labs no Alvin, not Alvin Alvin

The National coalition's plan to demolish New Zealand's public health service is progressing nicely.
The Emergency Department at Christchurch Hospital has come under sustained pressure with doctors saying it’s like a “mass casualty situation”.
Always remember that this level of underfunding and understaffing is a deliberate choice on behalf of the Luxon government. The transfer of wealth to the already wealthy requires sacrifices and if you're poor or disadvantaged, bad luck cos that's your own fault.
