How to measure customer service?

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am helping with the Maine SkillsUSA competition in Outdoor Leadership. Part of that involves reviewing the skills we assess.

Six More Weeks

Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, so it looks like we've got about six more weeks of winter. Here in Maine, that usually means we're looking at mid-March for the unofficial end of winter, and ice-out sometime in early April.

Winter observations

The only minor hiccup was a bit of water on the ice due to the warm temperatures and some rain the night before. But it was just enough to make us slos...

What Maine Outdoors is Not

Stopped this morning at a chain coffee shop for a cup to keep me company on the drive home from the grocery store. The line for the drive through was out into the road. No worries, I figure I’ll just walk inside and get my coffee. Backed up there too. Fortunately, I am not in a huge hurry and taki...
