Yup, and it's a real PITA!! Mine haven't started yet.

You can use gallons of Round Up on it. That's not the plant, that's the spore generating phase. Pull those suckers out now so they don't spread.

The fronds are very abrasive. The Wabanakis used to use them for dental floss.

Second fire in a month breaks out at Gorham cannabis facility​

The Gorham Fire Department responded to a 911 call on Saturday reporting black smoke coming from the building on 7 Country Road.

A second fire within a month at a Gorham medical medical marijuana cultivation facility was reported Saturday, according to fire officials.

Just before 11:45 a.m. Sunday, Cumberland County dispatchers received a 911 call reporting black smoke coming from a room of the 20,000-square-foot building at 7 Country Road, according to a Gorham Fire Department news release posted on Facebook.

Firefighters located and extinguished the fire while searching the building for occupants. No injuries were reported.

On April 11, Gorham firefighters responded to the marijuana grow facility after two employees partially extinguished a fire inside with fire extinguishers. Firefighters completed putting out the fire, and the two employees were treated for smoke inhalation on site by EMS.

Initial investigations into the April 11 fire indicated that a broken light fixture fell onto a plastic table, which later ignited.

No preliminary details about the cause of Saturday’s fire were released.

Both fires are under investigation by the Office of the State Fire Marshal.

Fire departments from Buxton, Limington, Scarborough, Standish, Westbrook and Windham provided aid on Saturday’s call.

I'd substitute at least 1 or 2 for Shaw's, it's the closest one on the list to me and it's way off the Roccus Recommends list...

I believe public nudity is legal in Maine.
As a kid, we went to northern Maine each August. It was not until we would take a day trip to Canada that there was anything a teenage boy would be eager to ogle at.
