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.

Maps for your viewing pleasure…

I have to say this first one surprised me.

.

.

Where’s the beef?

.

.

Striking isn’t it?

.

.

Why are northern men taller than southerners?

Do grits stunt your growth?

This next one is for a particular blog friend who is moving to Wisconsin…

.

.

You’re welcome.

.

.

I lived in North Carolina for 17 years and passed cotton fields every day. Had no idea Texas was cotton country though.

.

.

A very sad map indeed.

😰

Maps, glorious maps.

Let’s explore…

.

.

I’m surprised Maine is on the higher side of this. Must be the northern half…

.

.

That’s beyond disturbing.

.

.

This is even more so.

😳

.

.

People do love to live near the water.

.

.

I’m surprised more states in my area aren’t green. New Englanders are traditionally frugal.

.

.

I blame Maine’s rate on the lobster. Who wants to eat it without a pound of melted butter…

😉

Because you can never have too many maps.

I call foul on this first one.

.

.

Maine has exactly one Trader Joes.

One.

Yes, it’s in our biggest city, but still.

.

.

No in Maine. Which is fine with me.

.

.

Maine to Man is not very amusing.

.

.

It’s true.

Mainers do hate Massholes.

.

.

Since we only buy craft beer, and never by the case I’m unable to comment.

.

.

Please note I live in the county above the red in Maine and am not personally responsible for its high numbers.

Mark… can you say the same?

😉

Map happy.

These crazy maps make you happy, admit it.

.

For those of you unfamiliar with Maine’s, let me explain.

“Lobster tomalley, often referred to as the “green stuff” inside a lobster, is the hepatopancreas, a digestive gland that functions as both the liver and pancreas. It is a delicacy for some, valued for its rich, intense flavor similar to lobster meat but more intense. However, it’s also been a subject of safety concerns due to potential environmental contaminants.”

.

The green stuff is a highly debated topic in my state. Some people hate it (me!) and others love it.

.

.

Everything toxic a lobster encounters in the sea lands there. Not my idea of a culinary treat.

🤢

.

.

Booger Hole, West Virginia?

Say it isn’t so…

.

.

Another reason I’m glad my part of Maine is blue.

😉

.

.

Wow, Maine’s Bangor seems relatively tame.

.

.

What up Wisconsin?

🤣

.

.

So many unhappy states.

.

.

Weird law?

Leave it to Vermont…

Yes, more maps.

Because everyone loves maps.

I have never, not once in my entire life, bought a lottery ticket.

.

.

Those are sad numbers.

.

.

Wow.

Texas likes their prisons.

.

.

Trade.

It’s important.

.

.

Mainers.

They love to hunt.

.

.

I’ve always wanted to take an IQ test, but never have.

.

.

For this map you’re supposed to type “Why is your state so..” and see what pops up.

I didn’t get white.

.

.

Not sure what we’re taking so long to do, but I think I’m okay with it.

😉

Because you seem to enjoy them as well.

Maine is seriously bereft of alpacas.

.

.

Guess we know where the maple trees live.

.

.

I don’t think Maine is quite as coffee crazy as the rest of the country. Dunkin still rules up here.

.

.

What up Wyoming?

Apparently, nothing.

.

.

I’ll wear that proudly.

.

.

Most of our moose are up north, but I’ve seen a few. Sadly, two of them had been hit by cars.

.

.

Maine is so white bread, we don’t even have a weird name.

.

.

Maine seems to be half dog, half cat.

You know which half we are.

Maps no one needs.

You don’t need them, but they’re fun.

I can’t argue with ours.

L. L. Bean is life in Maine.

.

.

This is disturbing, but sadly…. not surprising.

.

.

Weirdest map topic, ever.

.

.

Patrick Dempsey is from Lewiston and comes back often. Every September he hosts and runs in the Dempsey Challenge, a charitable event where 100% of the funds raised provide personalized, holistic services at no cost to cancer patients, their loved ones, and care partners. 18 million dollars have been raised to date.

Apologies to women of the Southwest.

Simply because they’re fun.

Evelyn?

The last Evelyn I knew in Maine died 30 years ago, at the ripe old age of 89.

.

.

To the clearly parched western states, I’m sorry.

.

.

I agree with this 100%.

Maine is full of Frenchmen.

.

.

Maine men seem to be to satisfied with their packages. Southern men, not so much.

.

.

It doesn’t surprise me Maine is on par with California. Our taxes are nuts.

.

.

I can’t believe Maine didn’t vote for Roosevelt!

.

.

I can’t believe Maine voted for Nixon!

.

.

This map is disturbing.

That being said, I’m proud to live in a state who fully supported civil rights.

Not your average map.

A few more amusing regional maps for your consideration.

.

.

Lewiston, Maine is an old mill town gone to seed. It tries to put on a pretty face with downtown rejuvenation projects but to my mind will always be a poor, sad relative to its coastal cousins.

If I lived there? I’d be drunk as well.

.

.

This is a map no one really needs to see, but Italy?

What the utter hell!

😳

.

.

Proud to have the most trees, that’s me!

.

.

Most excellent.

I love cows.

.

.

Though it seems a little strange Wisconsin was singled out for cow ratio when it turns out they didn’t make the top bovine tier.
