A multitude of maps.

Do you still live in the state where you were born?

I don’t, but am rather amazed so many people do.

Map aside, $100 ain’t what it used to be.

Maine is the birthplace of Needhams and Whoopie pies, I’m surprised we’re not all diabetic.

And now?

Neither will you…

😈

We always had a white Xmas. Not so much anymore…

😰

It took us a while, but we got there.

Good to know.

But it does me wonder how much fish lassoing is happening elsewhere.

  1. Wo needs a lasso? Bare (or is it bear?) hands are enough to catch fish.

    I don’t still live in the state where I was born, but I do again. Does that count? I live 4 miles from where I grew up. This relates also to the “value of a dollar” map. I moved to where I was paid 50% more than I was earning here. I was poorer.

    We’ve given up on dreaming of a white Christmas and now dream of a wide isthmus. That would relieve our traffic congestion.

  3. I don’t live in the state I was born either, I’ve gone back to visit a couple of times. As much as I love Governor Newsom, I think I’ll stay in my little corner of far west Texas where we are a blue county. I’m surprised that Texas isn’t higher on the map of sugar consumption, I’m actually shocked. And according to your map, $100 goes way farther in El Paso and Hudspeth counties than in the rest of Texas. And now…..I see Australia as Dog head Cat head with cat food….lol.

      1. It isn’t as hard here, it’s hard for Fire Engine Red MAGA’s though. We make sure they know where they live and how everyone else voted. Far west Texas (El Paso and Hudspeth counties) are deep blue. There is a house in my neighborhood that is MAGA, they even have a huge Trump flag over their garage. Well they had a huge flag over their garage. Apparently some teenagers would drive by in the middle of the night on weekends over the summer and paintball said flag blue. They got tired of replacing it and finally took it down, lol. If you look at statistics, Texas is purple, more blue cites than red, it’s the rural parts of Texas the are red, the ones politicians exploit when they are campaigning, the poor and uneducated. Except for San Antonio, they are as red as the blood spilled by their corrupt police force and city politicians.

      2. I think that’s true of most of the country now. Blue cities, red rural areas. Maine is a little different, we split our votes north and south. We’re predominantly democratic, above Bangor it’s MAGA country.

  8. When I lived in Nevada very few people I met had been born there. They were mostly the children of the folks who got kicked out of Tennessee for fish lassooing. In Nevada very few things are illegal.

  9. I went to six different schools before high school. I’ve lived in our current house longer than I’ve lived anywhere. But my kid’s childhood is the opposite, thankfully. I’m not sure he will ever want to leave California (although when he was 6 and we landed in New Hampshire, his face was glued to the airplane window and he whispered, “So many trees. So little time.”)
