Loose CanonKit Hayden is from away, having moved to Maine from Wisconsin thirteen years ago to escape the liberals. Advancing age has brought increasing bewilderment over the activities of fellow planet-dwellers. Partial relief has been obtained by venting in blogs, most recently with mainecoastnow. Further relief has come from the adoption of Buddhism, which occasionally pops up in his writing. Rest assured, however, that nothing matters. It’s hopeless. Accept that. chaoscmh@gmail.com

Finns & FriendsThe author is Art Jura. He is a 3rd generation “Mainer”, a photographer, and the grandson of Finnish immigrants. The purpose of “Finns & Friends” is to: (1) Provide information on upcoming events of local Finnish-American organizations. (2) Help with genealogical questions, and the history of Finnish immigration to mid-coast Maine.
Few realize that our local area received the largest proportion of the Finnish immigrants who eventually settled in Maine. Also, this began as early as 1840, peaked through the first half of the 20th century, and still draws visitors with ties to this culture. “Tervetuloa” (Welcome!)

Want to create your own Blog?
Wikipedia says “a typical Blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs.”
A July 2006 Pew Charitable Trust article, reports that “Blogging is inspiring a new group of writers and creators to share their voices with the world.
Life experiences, local politics and government, culture, sports, general news, current events, business, technology, religion, spirituality or faith, hobby, health, volunteering, education, photography, causes, passion and organizations are all possible topics of focus for your Blog.
We hope our bloggers are ready to weigh in on local issues important to the quality of life in our communities as well as personal lives and experiences.
