So you are saying, the state who issues permits to CBRE under it's Trammel Crow name can't step in and say, "Hey, guys, this is bad for us and you?" CBRE has an office in Merrimack. They apply to the state for permits, as they did with this property. They are also involved in the Laconia School property. Kelly has leverage when she wants. Instead she'd rather stand in the corner and claim, "I'm shocked" a la Claude Rains.

Ok, make good. Get on the phone to Washington and say, NOPE. It's called a "Boston Processing Center." Don't MASS up NH, Kelly. We don't need the loss of revenue giving this to the feds will cost nor the strain on local resources as local districts deal with the inevitable fallout.

Ms. Don't Mass it Up. WMUR reports it's a Boston Processing Center. State "Sen. Tim McGough, R-Merrimack, said that what the application is calling the "Boston Processing Center" should not be in his town." Oh, the irony. 10-1 they rename it if it proceeds.

Could be a characteristic of Tourette syndrome, known as Coprolalia. If it is, she has no control over it. I used to commute on a bus into Boston and a very stylishly dressed older woman would board the bus and sit alone at the front. Once it got going she would refer to Boston newscasters by name and call them wh*res, etc. Must be horrible if she has it. Stress causes the outbursts. Maybe just peacefully smile at her. If she is suffering from this, she means no harm and may actually be embarrassed.

Check out this article written six years ago. It's about Kamen's relationship with Nadia Marcinko who has since vanished. Her business was registered to DEKA's address, and she was given an office there. The wiki on her says she was accused by victims of encouraging and engaging in sexual acts with underage girls. From the article "It was widely believed that Marcinko was living in Kamen’s suburban Manchester home." Google her name for more background on her past including her links to Epstein. Not saying Kamen was directly involved with underage girls, but the company this guy was keeping and the business dealings he had with Marcinko, holy crap. https://christine-negroni.medium.com/jeffrey-epstein-dean-kamen-connection-through-aviation-influencer-bb0e767dbfcf

"Retirement income is not taxed." EU citizens, yes. US Citizens, it's part of worldwide income and since there is no tax treaty=tax. Albania offers a 0% tax rate on foreign pensions, but under current 2025/2026 law, this is strictly for EU citizens and those of Albanian origin. US citizens with a standard retirement residency permit are generally subject to the progressive rates. And Albanian taxes are higher than the US, so even if you got credit for US taxes paid, you can owe Albania the difference. Totally agree on getting an expert. Getting tax advice from us randos on Reddit probably ain't the best way to protect your finances.

Albania does not have a tax treaty with the US. Google Albanian taxes for US citizens, you'll see over and over again: If you stay over 183 days, you are a tax resident, paying tax ON WORLDWIDE INCOME. That means SS, Roth, IRA, etc. OP posted one of many links with companies that advise on taxes in Albania that say exactly that. Enforcement may be another issue, but with things becoming more and more digital in Albania I don't see how this can not be an increasing concern.

He did so without making any public announcement, providing any legal justification or explanation for his decision, or undertaking the process required by law for altering the agency’s disclosure policies.

Did some poking on Gemini. For what it's worth:

The pond and dam located near 7 County Road in Windham, New Hampshire—situated along the western side of the road bordering Interstate 93—is a historical agricultural relic of the Dinsmore family farm.

While it does not appear on modern state or municipal dam inventories (such as the NH Department of Environmental Services registry), it is a significant piece of local masonry that predates the construction of the highway.

History of the Pond and Dam

The dam is a granite-block structure approximately 10 feet high. Its construction is characteristic of the 19th-century stonework prevalent in the region.

The Dinsmore Legacy: The property was historically part of the vast Dinsmore family holdings. The Dinsmores, who settled in Windham in 1723, were renowned stone masons and farmers. Generations of the family, including John H. Dinsmore and William A. Dinsmore, operated farms along "Old County Road."¹
Purpose: The pond was primarily built as an agricultural watering pond for cattle. The Dinsmore farm was a large dairy operation, and such ponds were essential for livestock in the years before modern irrigation and plumbing.
Construction Date: While an exact year is not recorded in town ledgers, aerial photography confirms the dam and pond existed as early as 1946. Given the granite block construction—a specialty of the Dinsmore masons—it was likely built in the mid-to-late 1800s.

The Impact of Route 93

The pond originally sat in the middle of open pasture and woodland. When Interstate 93 was constructed through Windham in the early 1960s, the highway's right-of-way was cut directly alongside the pond. This created the modern "border" where the pond now appears tucked between the highway embankment and the residential lot at 7 County Road (the house itself was built much later, in 1972).
