on the over-the-top local media reaction to the "drug-infested den" comments from the POTUS, especially when the State's top media outlet has been breathlessly running their daily "State of Addiction" feature on their telecasts for well over a year now. Even my MA friends/colleagues who see these reports ask me, "Is it really that bad?" When this is how you (and specifically WMUR-TV) portray yourself to others ... how can you be "surprised" (much less *offended*) when this is the conclusion outsiders come to, without living here on a day-to-day basis? on the over-the-top local media reaction to the "drug-infested den" comments from the POTUS, especially when the State's top media outlet has been breathlessly running their daily "State of Addiction" feature on their telecasts for well over a year now.

is the comment doesn't exactly make NH look like a fun vacation spot now does it? That being said, we DO have an opioid problem that is no big secret. It's kind of like a q I sometimes get being a health teacher "do you have a drug problem at your school" and the typical answer might be "yeah, but it's no worse than anywhere else". Guess what? It's pretty bad "everywhere else" sooooo..... Anyway, facts are facts and yes, NH has a drug problem. Like everywhere else. Poor choice of words from the Prez but then that's nothing new. Ha! 
And that's all I have to say 'bout that. (in my best Forrest Gump voice). is the comment doesn't exactly make NH look like a fun vacation spot now does it?

That's more of a Ball Four (by Jim Bouton) comparison at the major league level. This was an under-the-radar classic I stumbled across from the days of my youth, while going through a lot of NFL Films stuff on youtube. On the epilogue as we speak, so I'll share early next week if all goes to plan.
... - as the kids might text ... "OMG!!" The vision of Coach Umile bawling his eyes out into BS35+5's lapel after taking the long-awaited D-1 Frozen Four title to Durham for the first time ... wow, talk about improbable cubed, to the nth degree squared. Just the Vermeil public weeping part alone ... man, the odds on that are just infinitesimally microscopic. Makes the rest of the "longshot of all longshots" thing sound almost plausible by comparison.
ingesting its smoldering ashes, and then bend over and toot "Black Betty" out my backside into the arena PA.* suspense over the outcome of The Quest and all ...
