It’s time for class!
No worries, there won’t be a test.
Maine Adult Education offers endless opportunities to shake your head and say WTF? enrich your mind. Last year there were some fascinating topics:
You’re never too old to learn…. Spoons.
You’re never to old to learn…. Potatoes.
You’re never too old to learn…. Ukulele
You’re never too old to learn…. Chakra Toning.
You’re never too old to learn…. Mindfulness.
And this year started off with a bang as well…
You’re never to old to learn…. Tin Cans.
Today’s selection from the brochure of the bizarre curriculum is:

Blow into it and start a band.
You’ll be the envy of your friends, I promise.
And in case you’re unfamiliar…
Japanese Knotweed is a large, extremely invasive plant.

It’s almost impossible to get rid of once it takes hold, and ironically… cutting only spreads it.
There really is only one reliable course of action available.
So why not take the class…
And make a flute before it swallows you whole?
