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.

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.

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.

Maps that don’t take you anywhere.

In case you can’t see it, this is Maine’s.

.

.

Not too disturbing when drawn, but a bit creepy when experienced in person.

.

.

😳

.

.

I’m right in the middle, which is where I want to be.

.

.

I thought my state would rank higher.

Disappointing, that.

.

.

Looks like I’m not doing enough drinking.

.

.

Electronics seem to win the prize.

.

.

Mark and Shelly, where do your towns stand on the cow to human scale?

.

.

Don’t laugh. Moose will flat take you out…

.

.

These numbers astound me. My husband and I bought our first house, a 3 bedroom 2 bath ranch, for $45,000. Granted that was in 1985 but the income to mortgage ratio was much smaller then. How many young couples starting out today can afford a half a million dollars home? It’s crazy.

Maps of nothing the least bit important.

It’s autumn in New England and that’s a beautiful thing. Turning leaves, apple picking, pumpkins…

.

.

Sadly not everyone gets to experience it.

.

.

I can’t think of one entirely vegan or vegetarian restaurant in Maine, but clearly they exist.

.

.

Sad to see we’re leading the way, but not surprising.

.

.

We love our libraries in Maine and some of them are drop dead gorgeous.

.

.

I’ll take least violent crime. Yay us.

.

.

Someone had way too much time on their hands.

.

.

Ugh. Allen’s Coffee Brandy was the bane of my existence when I was a teenage delinquent. Cheap, disgustingly sweet and at every party I ever attended.

Maps.. in case you forgot where you live.

Forget where’s the beef….

.

.

This map clearly asks where’s the cacio e pepe?

.

.

Way to go New Hampshire.

.

.

I’ve been to northwestern Maine and can vouch for this.

.

.

We bypassed Paris on my one and only trip to France and did Provence and the Côte d’Azur instead. Never regretted it.

.

.

My husband and I paid $6 for the license and tipped the Justice of the Peace $30.

41 years later… believe me when I tell you it’s not about what you spend.

.

.

This makes no sense whatsoever.

.

.

To be honest we never used to. Most Mainers didn’t. But now, we do… and that’s sad.

Ever wonder what your state is talking about?

.

.

Mine must be Stephen King inspired.

.

.

Can’t say that’s much of a surprise.

.

.

Well done Australia.

👍

.

.

When I first saw this I thought little green men,, but it was from Fox News, so that might be the wrong type of alien.

.

.

Why, oh why… would anyone need a flamethrower?

.

.

Good to know.

I think.

.

.

You’re welcome.

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.

Ever wonder how livable your climate is?

.

Wonder no more.

I was once written up for stepping off a boat onto a pier with a beer in my hand. Thankfully the officer was an idiot who put two different dates on the ticket and it was thrown out of court.

.

.

Maine does have a lot of older retirees so I won’t argue with this one.

.

.

I’ll blame our broken ankles on ice and slippery snow.

.

.

Uh, Mark… do we need to stage an intervention?

.

.

Guess I can thank Stephen King for ours.

.

.

This is crazy. I don’t know how young people just starting out do it. Our first home cost $45,000, at a time when my husband’s annual salary was $35,000. The numbers are much farther apart now…

😥

Here we go again…

.

.

I’m in the definite minority here.

Mary and merry for me.

.

.

Maine has a decided lack of porn stars. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or bad.

.

.

Lobster.

Maine’s reason is 🦞.

.

.

My state didn’t make either list.

.

.

I remember the silly blue laws when we lived in North Carolina and they were nothing but annoying. You can’t legislate morality…

.

.

Idexx Laboratories over LL Beans? I don’t think so.

I’ve never even heard of it.

.

.

I just read the average price of a home in Maine is over $450k… if the true value is only $168k? We’re all in trouble.

.

.

12?

What the hell Romania! At least I think that’s Romania…

.

.

When I was a teenager in the late 70’s and early 80’s…. Maine summers were warm, but not hot. If it hit 85 degrees we were complaining about a heat wave. Houses didn’t have air conditioning and cars in our state weren’t sold with it because we didn’t need it.

We do now.

I miss the good old (cool) days.
