Quite a lot has been going on:
BDN readers come forward with their own UFO stories
PORTLAND, Maine — A recent story we published about the rising numbers of UFO sightings in Maine drew a hearty number of reader responses.
Some folks wanted to make pithy retorts deriding the singular tales. Others sought to explain them away. Most wanted to chime in with their own first-hand accounts of strange aerial phenomena occurring high over the Pine Tree State.
Deb Doherty of Steep Falls also saw something: “I was driving on Route 114 from Gorham to Sebago Lake Village with my sister in law, back in the 90s, and as we crested a hill there was a bright orange thing streaking across the sky.”
Belfast protests / Bangor English curriculum / UFO hotspot
Today is Thursday. Temperatures will be in the 30s throughout the state, with a chance for scattered snow and cloudy skies throughout the state. Here's what we're talking about in Maine today.
The web server that malfunctioned Monday and temporarily shut down Northern Light Health's COVID-19 vaccine appointment portal believed it was under a cyberattack because of heavy traffic .
The protest has disrupted downtown restaurants and retailers, according to business owners, and caused some to avoid downtown while protesters are there. But the call for civility might be a big ask.
Page Turners: Profiles of local authors
The Beaver author and founder of the Beaver County Bookfest writes partly about the history of the Beaver area, along with long-forgotten tales of strange encounters, mysterious beasts and ancient legends.
"How much truth is in these stories ...that's up for you, the reader, to decide," Brkich said. "I'm passionate about our town's heritage and the importance this area played in our nation's early years. That said, I've always wished something a little more exciting would've happened. Lots of other towns around the country have had local 'monster' sightings, UFO crashes, lost treasures, etc. This book is my little wish for what might've happened in our town over the years."
Many things are taking place:

The 10 Best Episodes of Disney Channel's So Weird
The theme of home — and So Weird 's at times almost nightmarish version of home — drives many of the plots throughout the series. Fi sometimes sees her lack of memory of her father as a way to not fully connect with her home and family, while being on the road can serve as a way for Molly and Jack to escape from the broken memories of Rick that haunt them.
Despite Disney's misgivings, the first two seasons of So Weird are well worth revisiting, especially if you were a weird '90s kid who loved all things spooky and strange — or if you missed this early Disney Channel era and want to see what it was like before the Lizzie McGuires and Hannah Montanas took over.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Numbers went through the roof," Cheryl Costa , co-author of the "U.F.O. Sightings Desk Reference," said of the increase in UFO reports in Maine in 2020. "I mean, what else did people have to do besides stream movies, sit on the deck at night and drink." Here's your soundtrack .
It is the next step in budget reconciliation, a legislative procedure that allows a spending bill to pass with majority support in the Senate, avoiding the 60-vote filibuster. That could allow Democrats to pass President Joe Biden 's $1.9 trillion stimulus plan without Republican support, though there are limitations on what can be included compared to a bill passed through the normal legislative process.
