Pumpkin Island Light, Eggemoggin Reach, Little Deer Isle, Maine. Keeper Charles Leroy Babson was shot during the Civil War, in the Battle of Fredericksburg. While in hospital, he was pronounced dead. Though thanks to a nurse who noticed him move a finger, he was revived by a doctor, and ultimately lost a leg. From 1870-1902 Babson served as keeper of Pumpkin Island Light with the aid of a cane.

Pumpkin Island Light is a lighthouse on Pumpkin Island, at the northwestern entrance to Eggemoggin Reach, a channel running northwest to southeast between Penobscot Bay and Blue Hill Bay on the central-eastern coast of Maine. The light station was established in 1854 and discontinued in 1933. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Pumpkin Island Light Station on February 1, 1988. The island and former light station are privately owned.

FLEKKERØY,  a Norwegian pilot cutter built in 1936, crossed the North Atlantic, via  Iceland and Greenland, during the summer of 2015. She arrived in Maine  late in December that year and continued her cruise right through the  winter. She is shown here on Eggemoggin Reach in summer 2016; the red  stripe on her mainsail indicates her original profession of pilot boat.

The upcoming vote in the Senate on Judge Brett Kavanaugh

The Honorable Susan Collins Senate of the United States 413 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 September 8, 2018 (via webform) Dear Sen. Collins, I imagine you're getting lots of letters and calls from constituents regarding the upcoming vote in the Senate on Judge Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court. Having watched hours of his hearings before the Judiciary Committee this week, I thought my two cents may help you decide which way to go. Probably the most interesting part of the televised spectacle was Judge Kavanaugh's questioning under oath by Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont. From that, the unmistakable impression that emerged was Judge Kavanaugh deliberately misled the panel when he testified under oath that he had never received documents stolen from Democratic senators' computers. Also clear was that the judge also misled other Judiciary committees in 2004 and 2006, when they posed the same sort of questions. Many people are calling for him to withdraw because of this serial perjury, or for senators such as yourself to vote against him. Not me! In this instance, I believe it would be GOOD for the nation to have a proven liar and perjurer on the Supreme Court. Allow me to explain. In 2016, when we voted for President Trump, we knew he was a liar and dissembler. And we voted for him anyway. There is a simple explanation for this. The fact is, everything in the universe operates on a cycle. That includes the daily rising and setting of the sun, Earth's tides, the clock in your kitchen, the stock market, women's bodies, politics, the national economy, and even fashion. Remember in the 1980s when men's ties were narrow? Now they're wide -- and they will go back again. Remember bell-bottom trousers? Those will return, too. American values also operate on a cycle. Do you remember the old Superman television show starring George Reeves? One of its mottos was "truth, justice and the American Way." And it was fitting for the time. But that, too, has changed. Now it's more like "untruth, injustice and the American Way." Such a flip was inevitable, because EVERYTHING operates on a cycle. These days, and especially under our president, lying is much more "in fashion," so to speak.  And that's what makes Judge Kavanaugh a justice for our times. We've reached a point in the cycle where it actually makes sense to put a three-time perjurer on the Supreme Court. For that reason, I wholeheartedly urge you to vote FOR him. Sincerely, Arthur Mofodopoulis 65 Babson Point Drive Eggemoggin, ME 04650 PS: May God help America, but even it can't fight the cycle.
