Greenville Entertainment

It started out of desperation when Sam was at the Ranger Academy for 10 weeks. Nothing incredibly out of the ordinary, really.

I've created my most recent Top 10 List of Things to Do in Greenville. This list is not all-inclusive and not restricted the the following:

10: Secretly learn the PO Box numbers of the townies while inside the Post Office.
9: Pretend to need groceries to see who works the Wednesday morning shift at Indian Hill Shop 'n Save (that's right, still a Shop 'n Save, no sell-outs in Greenville.)
8: Name the stray cats in town.
7: Walk every dead-end street to see if they really are dead-ends.
6: Hoard cookies from the credit union on "Credit Union Member Appreciation Day."
5: Stand outside the Hardware store and wait for extremely old men in F-250's to offer you a ride.
4: Dodge snowmobilers at Lily Bay State Park while on cross-country skis.
3: Count Moose.
2: Find a store in town that sells underwear.
1: Drive to Bangor.

Heads or Tails?

While discussing Greenville's current negative temperature (-13 degrees, -27 with the windchill) with Sam over breakfast, I began questioning the English language.

SAM: It's @ss cold out!
TARA: Exactly how cold is "@ss cold?"
SAM: Cold. Like...(pause)...your @ss is cold. @SS COLD, Tara. (smirk)
TARA: (silently thinking, then responds) Is there such a thing as "head cold" and would that be colder than my @ss?

Heads or Tails?
