Good News/Bad News

[rolanni]

So, the Good News is the judge down there to Augusta released Peter Michaud on his own recognizance, and somebody came down from Waterville to give him a ride -- to what is unclear, being as his home's condemned, but it still counts as good that one of Peter's neighbors picked him up at the jail, intending to give him a ride back to town.

Except -- here's the Bad News -- Peter asked his friend to drop him off near the Hannaford grocery store in Augusta, saying that he intended to live in the woods nearby, where he wouldn't be bothered as much as he was in Waterville.

This is especially unfortunate, because there are a lot of people in town and elsewhere who want to help Peter out, if only he'll get in touch with his friend Chief Massey of the Waterville police department.

That's funny. Seems like I'm always running into people (in New York, Toronto, San Jose...) who do know where it is, because either they, or somebody they know/are related to/used to be related to went to/taught at Colby College.

The other unlikely Maine place that's startlingly well-known Away is Skowhegan -- lots and lots of people seem to have attended/taught at/knew someone who attended the art school.

My brother had no affiliatation with Colby, which makes it somewhat more odd.

I liked it, when I visited.
