A dusting of snow reflects the moonlight in the intertidal areas of Popham Beach, Maine.

Oh, how I want to live on this island house.

the wind was blowing the top layer of loose sand so that it looked like fog.

No place in Maine would ever be called "Crabapple Cove" and Richard Hornberger should have known that but he was not just from away, he was from New Jersey.

PEDs: they aren't just for athletes anymore! (picture unrelated)

According to Maxx Crosby, the Las Vegas Raiders encountered a UFO while on a team flight home from Miami.

Wrapping up today's sports section, I will once again reiterate my stance that sports betting should go back to being mostly illegal ASAP.

Cold Stone Creamery is being sued for not actually having any pistachios in their pistachio ice cream.

Water temperatures in the Gulf of Maine have been doing some wild shit lately.

In other Maine news, watch out for quicksand if you decide to hit up Popham Beach (which you should, as it's pretty nice aside from the quicksand).

Finally, the classic film Gremlins just celebrated the 40th anniversary of its release, so you know what that means: ORAL HISTORY TIME.

Script (Beach Trip)

Scene 1

(Conlan and Henry are in Conlan’s truck with their surf boards in the bed.)

Conlan: Hen, did Evie say when she’d be ready?

Henry: Uhh 10. I think. (scrolling on his phone)

Conlan: What are you looking at?

Henry: My dad’s texting me. Him and my mom are fighting again.

Conlan: What’s it about this time?

Henry: My dad forgot my mom’s birthday. Again. He think’s she’s being dramatic. She think’s he doesn’t care about her. I am stuck being the middle man yet again.

Conlan: I’m sorry man. At least you won’t be in the house tonight. Turn your phone off. It shouldn’t be your problem.

Henry: I know. Wanna grab some food before we get her?

Conlan: Yeah, Hank’s Burgers?

Henry: Sure.

Scene 2

Henry and Conlan stand on the porch of Evie’s home.

Conlan: I had the strangest dream last night. We were on the road and stopped in a small town and I got married. I don’t remember to whom, but I know we had an Elvis impersonator as our officiant at the wedding.

Henry: You are so weird. Every time I go back to school, I think I forget just how strange you are.

Evie enters holding her own surfboard.

Evie: Hello boys!

Conlan: Let’s go I want to make it there by sunset. (Evie hands her board to Henry and the three of them pile into Conlan’s truck)

Henry: You miss us while you were at your posh ivy league school?

Evie: Oh, shut up Henry. Yes, you know I missed you guys. All the boys at Brown have cooties!

Conlan: We have a long drive ahead of us.

Evie: Why are we going all the way to Maine? We literally live on a beach. Couldn’t we have surfed at home?

Conlan: Because Popham is having a huge storm right now, by the time we get there, the waves will put our waves to shame.

Henry: Wanna play a game to pass the time?

The three-play random road trip games as they drive to Maine for Northern New Jersey

Conlan: Are you kidding me! (Conlan kicks the flat tire on the left side of his truck)

Evie: We are only an hour out. We could call a cab or something.

Henry: Our boards wouldn’t fit.

Conlan: That was a dumb suggestion Ev.

Evie: Well at least it was an idea. You’ve just been yelling about how mad you are for 15 minutes.

Conlan: (Yelling)Yes, I am mad. This was supposed to be the best day of the summer. Perfect waves.  Surfing with my two best friends and it was ruined by this god damn tire! (Kicks the tire again)

Henry: Let’s start walking, maybe there will be a mechanic in town. We can get the tire changed and go.

Evie: Yeah Con, we still have like two hours till sunrise. We can make it.

Conlan: I can’t leave the truck. The locks broke in April.

(A passing car pulls over)

Girl: You guys need help?

Evie: We have a flat but no jack. Any chance you have one?

Girl: I think I might, in the trunk! (She runs to the back of her car and pulls out a car jack)

Conlan: You are our savior!

Girl: No, just a girl living in the world. (She laughs)

They change the tire and continue on the road. They drive for an hour. They arrive just as the sun begins to rise.

Conlan: We made it. Would you look at that sunrise.

Evie: It is so beautiful!

Henry: Let’s get in the water. The waves look perfect.
