And...I also wanted to have a look at the controversial "Pink House". It's an abandoned house that some people want to demolish and some people want to save.
I realized I was accidentally dressed like the pink house.

Also, I could not resist this sculpture and monument on the side of the road.
I know, settler colonialism. But I like the sculpture.
Saturday 11-3 #NewburyMA - bring your expired festive tree to the farm and huck it in the chipper - take home some #mulch - $15 per carload, there's snacks and a manor tour! This replaces the less eco-friendly and less #sustainable previous annual event of a tree bonfire.

Pretty hard to evacuate if the roads are flooded! Or if it's summer tourist season!
Mass. and N.H. Release Updated #SeabrookNuclearPowerPlant Emergency Guides
WHAV News Staff By WHAV News Staff | January 8, 2024
"#Massachusetts and #NewHampshire have both released updated brochures to guide residents in the event of an emergency at the Seabrook nuclear power plant.
"Each state outlines its own communities and emergency plans and procedures for its portion of the 10-mile radius emergency planning zone. New Hampshire communities are #BrentwoodNH, #EastKingstonNH, #ExeterNH, #GreenlandNH, #HamptonNH, #HamptonFallsNH, #KensingtonNH, #KingstonNH, #NewCastleNH, #NewfieldsNH, #NewtonNH, #NorthHamptonNH, #PortsmouthNH, #RyeNH, #SeabrookNH, #SouthHamptonNH and #StrathamNH. In Massachusetts, they are #AmesburyMA, #MerrimacMA, #NewburyMA, #NewburyportMA, #SalisburyMA and #WestNewbury. While a small portion of #HaverhillMA falls within the 10-miles radius and the city borders a number of the communities within the zone, no specific evacuation plans are listed for the city.
"Methuen is also not within the zone, but Methuen High School would accept Amesbury students in the event of an emergency.
"Brochures tell parents, for example, where their children in schools or day care centers will be taken in an emergency and where 'reception centers' are located in the event of an emergency. For example, West Newbury parents are directed to Tewksbury High School, while if evacuation is required, the Masconomet Reception Center, 20 Endicott Road, Boxford, will open to receive, register, monitor and decontaminate (if necessary) evacuees and their vehicles. Evacuation routes for each community are also listed.
"According to a Friday press release from the New Hampshire Department of Safety, the updated brochure details the four emergency classification levels and instructions to be followed in the event one is declared. It lists the ways in which residents, business and visitors may be notified of a potential event at Seabrook Station and what to do during a shelter-in-place or evacuation."
