"Satisfying" Videos, Inspiring Skowhegan Ladies and Brewery Tour in Somerset County
My middle school son is a big fan of "satisfying" videos on YouTube. We were fortunate to get to visit the Sappi paper mill and film our own set of videos. We watched the log trucks get unloaded by a giant crane, then went inside the mill and watched paper being made. There was a giant machine that makes a huge roll of paper... here it is in action Here is what a finished roll look like before it is cut.. After the paper was made and cut we watched giant rolls of paper get to where they needed to be with the help of various machines. It was fascinating and you could play Frogger if you were feeling brave. Ok, playing Frogger is actually discouraged... One more quick video of some rolls fresh off the cutter... Our next stop was the Margaret Chase Smith Library, where we learned all about her life and legacy. As a transplant to Maine it was impressive all that she did at a time when women were not in politics. I liked this picture of Senator Smith...
