Snow senator


In the great tradition of trying to get your town into the Guinness Book of World Records, the people of Bethel, Maine, last year built a 122-foot-tall snow person, the Olympia Snowe-woman. She had skis for eyelashes, trees for arms, and truck tires for buttons. By the time we visited in April, her mascara needed freshening, but she was still formidable. I don't think she ran for re-election.
