Before Covid, and the mandatory wearing of the cussed masks and all of the state-imposed protocols, April used to be the cruelest month in Maine, as T.S. Eliot understood. It was the cruelest month because, after a long, unrelenting winter of cold and darkness, the last thing Mainers needed was to be teased and taunted by a mercurial Mother Nature.

My late father, desperate for work during the Great Depression, toiled in a hot dog factory. He would never eat a hot dog. “You wouldn’t either,” he said, “if you knew what they were made of.”
Things, including the Great American Hot Dog, do evolve, I guess. A modern hot dog, according to an acquaintance, whose livelihood was making those wonderfully snappy red dogs, is comprised of high quality beef and pork – no offal or floor sweepings.
