WW&F Ry This recently re-established railway is now part of a museum that sponsors short excursions and other activities related to the railroad and is constantly being upgraded with the efforts of volunteers. The following is from the museum website. The WW&F Railway traces its roots to 1894 when the Wiscasset and Quebec Railroad constructed a two-foot “narrow” gauge railroad northward from the bustling wharves of Wiscasset. Far short of its international delusions of grandeur, the railway of “big dreams and little wheels” instead reached 50 miles into the heart of central Maine. Reorganized as the Wiscasset, Waterville and Farmington, the Railway served Maine’s Sheepscot Valley faithfully for the next 40 years before closing during the Great Depression. Brought back from extinction by a team of dedicated volunteers, today’s railway connects you with a Maine that has all but slipped away. Join us to experience authentic Maine. It is yours to discover and explore – we will take you there.
Dry Bones Dem Bones" (also called "Dry Bones" and "Dem Dry Bones") is a spiritual song. The melody was composed by author and songwriter James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938) and his brother, J. Rosamond Johnson. It was first recorded by The Famous Myers Jubilee Singers in 1928. Both a long and a shortened version of the song are widely known. The lyrics are inspired by Ezekiel 37:1–14, in which the prophet Ezekiel visits the Valley of Dry Bones and prophesies that they will one day be resurrected at God's command, picturing the realization of the New Jerusalem.

Leaping Sturgeon Last year 25 fiberglass sturgeons were placed in front of businesses along Water Street in Augusta, Maine. The shop owners were responsible for decorating them in any way they preferred. This year they have been brought back. Water Street follows the Kennebec River that is just behind the row of buildings. It is not unusual to see these fish actually leaping and flopping back into the water. This one is in front of a local restaurant. I did take the liberty of removing the support that keeps the fish aloft. HSS Sturgeon are an annual draw to the Kennebec, which has some of the best habitat for the ancient species in Maine and is home to both the endangered shortnose sturgeon and the Atlantic sturgeon, whose population is considered depleted. Every year, from late spring to summer, Atlantic sturgeon can be seen launching themselves into the air and belly-flopping on the river. No one is sure why. The fiberglass sturgeon, bearing the design of the artists and organizations chosen to take part, will be installed to make it appear they are leaping, too. The artists were given stipends of $200 each to do what they wished.[Newspaper article]
