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.

❤️

.

.

.

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.

.

.

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.

.

.

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.

😰

.

.

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…

😉
