Maps

.

Another batch of silly maps, because someone has too much on their hands… besides me.

.

.

In Maine, it’s woods. Which could be charming… or slightly terrifying.

.

.

Yay for Maine.

Even our big cities are small.

.

.

Florida residents, please chime in here.

.

.

Yup.

Dinner out is precious here.

.

.

Maine used to have one, and it had a lovely waterfront location not far from us.

.

The Maine Yankee Nuclear Power Plant was a 900-megawatt, single-unit pressurized water reactor in Wiscasset, Maine, that operated from 1972 to 1996. As the state’s largest electricity generator, it provided significant power but was shut down due to economic unviability and safety concerns. Decommissioning was completed in 2005, though high-level waste remains in dry storage on-site. 

.

High level dry nuclear waste storage… on the ocean.

No. Nothing can go wrong there.

😳

.

.

Hard to believe in today’s world, but yes… places that don’t lock their doors still exist.

It’s wonderful.

.

Let’s see how many of these we can argue with today.

.

.

Seafood rules in Maine?

No argument there.

.

.

This has always bothered me. If you’ve ever watched a loved one suffer a slow and painful death, you’d know how important dying with dignity is.

.

.

Maine has high numbers, but I have not personally contributed.

.

.

They have pasta, wine, Tiramisu and cannolis. What is there to be sad about?

.

.

I’ve lived in Maine on and off for 32 years and have seen 4 moose. Though to be fair, the mid coast region is too far south for them.

.

.

That’s a lot of couch potatoes!

.

.

Our largest is Portland with about 70,000.

Which is fine with me.

.

Maps

.

Another batch of questionable statistics, just because.

.

.

Damn.

My state has the most old codgers. Not sure how to feel about that since I’m rapidly becoming one.

.

.

Sorry about that South Dakota, I think you’re toast.

.

.

We do love our Chinese food here in Maine. Seems like even the smallest towns have a take out place.

Have egg roll, will travel.

.

.

I’m not sure if I should be disgusted, or impressed.

.

.

France used a guillotine as recently as 1977?

Yikes.

.

.

Lobster roll should come as no surprise for Maine. How did your state do?

.

.

February. In Maine?

I’m really calling foul on this one.

.

Maps

.

Because everyone loves questionable statistics.

.

.

I live in a very difficult Poptart state.

Seeing that I never eat them, this is not a troublesome fact.

.

.

I’ve been to the Cote D’Azur. I’ve been to a nude beach. Trust me, it’s not always pretty.

😳

.

.

It may be legal, but I’ve never tried it.

.

.

Margaritas for the win.

Salud!

.

.

Europeans.

They’re too busy drinking wine.

.

.

I’ve lived in Maine on and off for 30 years and have never known a Jake. Make of that what you will.

.

.

This is one statistic where I’m very glad to score low.

.

Maps

.

The ridiculous statistics continue.

First up…America, broken down into tv show regions.

.

.

I can’t comment on the total veracity of this map as I’ve only seen three of the shows, but let me assure you… The Sopranos is New Jersey.

.

.

This is very sad. Though I’m happy to live in one of the few green states.

.

.

I’ve never bought a lottery ticket, and probably never will.

.

.

That’s just mean.

.

.

Smoking is definitely on the decline in our area of Maine.

.

.

Damn Australia. Your mothers must have serious upper body strength.

.

.

Clearly there’s a cultural overlay.

.

Maps

.

Another day, another set of ridiculous maps.

.

.

Have you ever wanted to mow the lawn or shovel snow in the buff? Apparently it’s illegal for me.

You’re welcome.

.

.

I’ll take second best.

Yay Maine!

.

.

It seems weed rules the roost.

.

.

We have lobsters and Stephen King.

That’s memorable.

.

.

Now that’s a map worth having.

.

.

Ding Dong, Texas?

I’m dying…

🤣

.

.

I can’t argue with the Brits here.

I think they nailed it.

.

,

I’m not from Florida, but this seems pretty accurate as well.

😉

.

Maps, serious and otherwise.

.

It’s that time again.

.

.

There’s a statistic I never gave much thought.

.

.

4th safest?

I’ll take it.

.

.

All over safety?

New England rocks.

.

.

Dark purple for the win.

.

.

I’ve never bought a lottery ticket in my life.

Ever. Not one.

.

.

I’m tempted to visit our town office and ask for a permit just to flip people out.

🐊

.

.

They say there’s not much corn here, yet we see fields of it all the time.

.

.

And not a 40 in the bunch?

I don’t think my husband ever worked under 50 in his life.

Maine is a gloriously wild and scenic state. We have rugged coastlines, charming villages, ski worthy mountains, pastoral farmlands, peaceful lakes and thick virgin forests.

We’re more than L.L. Beans.

Trust me on this.

.

.

What the Hell Italy?

😳

.

.

I live for these things.

.

.

Is there a poisonous Finnish frog of which I’m unaware?

.

.

Maine is definitely blueberry country.

The barrens are gorgeous in the fall.

.

.

So nobody has to be present to get married in Montana?

How the heck does that work…

.

.

Let It Snow seems appropriate for us.

❄️

.

Maps

.

Because everyone needs more maps.

.

.

Maine is clearly Team Cat.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten approves.

.

.

Well done Colorado.

Though the fact that there’s a CDC Surveillance System tracking these stats has me a bit worried.

.

.

How do you say pecan?

I’m in a green area but pronounce it more like the blue people do.

.

.

This definitely puts it in perspective.

.

.

Poetry in Stephen King country?

I call foul.

.

.

Maine does indeed celebrate Patriot’s Day.

.

.

If they’re red, I’m doomed.

But we feed the greys well and could probably survive the squirrel apocalypse.

.

Maps.

.

They’re not just for navigation anymore.

.

.

My sincere sympathies to the women of Thailand.

.

.

Did I read this wrong, or does my state have the most QTips and old codgers?

.

.

Minus 70?

Damn!

.

.

The only speeding ticket I ever received was in the south, so I can’t disagree.

.

.

The fact that DC ranks first says there’s even more pork barrel spending than we thought.

.

.

Maine has one. Susan Alford, whose father owned Dexter Shoes.

.

.

Clearly the Northeast knows bagels.
