New (s) Hampshire

For the initial post I went the standard research route: Google 'New Hampshire News' and see what comes up. The results were three familiar sites for any New Hampshire native, WMUR (Top TV News Channel), Union Leader (Top Newspaper), and the Concord Monitor (State Capital Newspaper) out of those top three 'reliable' source I wasn't willing to jump on any bandwagon with a news item. It's been beaten to death but the news is negative and sad (in both contexts, emotional and pathetic). Just look at these screen shots below and if you can't see the headlines I've linked you to them as well...
WMUR - Top News Stories This Morning

- Rocks Thrown At Cars On Spaulding Turnpike
- Two Bodies Found Inside Lempster Home
- Police Chief Charged With Violating Restraining Order
- Laconia Police: Handgun Stolen In Burglary
- Berlin Families Displaced By Fire


Unionleader - Top News Stories
- Paint-Splattered Man Pulls Off Bank Heist
- Nurse Jailed for Stealing Patient's Pain Pills
- The next three are repeated from WMUR






Concord Monitor - Top News Items

- Counsel Cuts nighttime use of fire engine
- Teachers may sue over health rebate
- Lawyer fined in parkway case
- Retirement deal still elusive

So I included all of those screen shots and link in order to show the negativity that was very present on Tuesday morning. I also include all of these because I intend to stay away from having this be a negative sounding blog because frankly there's too much of that going on. I want to focus on good solid topics like how great/ridiculous the state motto is 'Live Free Or Die' and perhaps debate one of the Onion's many options for changing it.

So with all that said this won't be a travel site, or a top news site or a 'best ways to get cheap liquor site' (NH is known in New England for it's state liquor stores on the side of the highway, thats the only way it gets there). I think this will be more about discovery of a state that I've lived in for over 20 years.
