Fig Newton and Devil Dog

On a recent morning, I was "forced" to walk to work (car in shop). It didn't take me long to realize this was a good thing and I should do it more often. 

In the short 15 minutes it took me to get to Scalawags, I got up close and personal with a classic Maine signpost, walked enviously passed the spectacular show of morning glories in front of the Captain Jeffereds Inn, and stopped for a brief chat with some locals, Fig Newton and Devil Dog.

It was a nice way to start the day and I vow to do it more often (and share more pictures).
