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.

.

.

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.

😉

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.

❄️

.

.

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.

😫
