If it's Saturday on the Midcoast, it might just rain again. That's quite a streak we are on.

If you're reading this the Thursday of our week 24 print edition, Wiscasset's Class of 2025 members have been graduates a full week. We wish them joy, peace, adventure and good decision-making. And no matter when or where anyone reading this did or did not graduate, may we repeat here new Wiscasset graduate Ismael Martinez' advice to his classmates to know they can fall back on someone, and not to isolate themselves. Words to remember.

If it's June, we are getting Strawberry Festival announcements. St. Philip's on Hodge Street puts on the longtime event June 28, yes, a Saturday. I'm picturing sun.

Week's positive parting thought: Any day, with or without an event, that isn't 20F or 90F, or ghastly windy, could be worse.
