| [Fun] You know you're in Maine...
Maine: We're Really Cold, But We Have Cheap Lobster
------
Maine: For Sale
------
Maine: You can spit on Canada from here

You Know You're in Maine:
If you own more than four pair of gloves.
If every other vehicle is a 4X4.
If camping is allowed it's only in steel sided campers.
If, when the sun goes down, you start looking for your coat.
If in March your vehicle is 43% mud.
If you leave your keys in your car and the next morning your car is still there.
If you're on the shoulder of the highway with your hood up and somebody stops to help you.
If you can pay for six big macs with a personal check.
If drive by shootings only occur on the evening news.
If your central heating system is fueled by large logs.
If you see numerous chauffeur-driven dogs.
If you can see the stars at night.
If people drive 100 miles to shop in a real mall.
If a deer throws itself under your wheels.
If you got a set of new snow tires for Valentines day.
If more than 1/2 the meat in your freezer is moose.
If the term "chill factor" is part of your daily vocabulary.
If the bumper jack in your pickup will lift a house.
If you only paid $5 to cut down your own douglas fir christmas tree.
If you enjoy a hot chocolate more than you do a margarita.
If a girls basketball game fill's the school gym.
If you put the car heater on your list of best friends.
If you pawned a snow blower instead of a set of golf clubs.
If dressing up means wearing a tie with your flannel shirt.
If you think you're in a traffic jam when you're in the second car at the light.
If you don't use your blinker because everyone already knows where you're going.
If your long john's don't come off until mid-May |

When you pull into the 'Welcome to Maine' rest/ information/ picnic area on 95 and have lunch.
Alas, no vacation in Maine this Spring 
No Lighthouse Depot in Wells, or DeLorme in Yarmouth, or LL Bean in Freetown or any Camden. No Boothbay Harbor either.
The many pleasures of Hooksett NH for that matter  |

Maine Winters
Some engineers from the U.S.G.S. surveyed some property and found that in a area, the New Hampshire and Maine border must be changed. They stopped to inform a farmer that he was no longer in Maine, but in New Hampshire.
After a long pause, he grunted and said, "That's good. I couldn't take another one of these Maine winters." |

You can drive the Augusta traffic circle without slowing down.
You’ve hung out at a gravel pit.
You think a mosquito could be a species of bird.
You once skipped school and went to Bar Harbor, Old Orchard Beach or Reid State Park.
Even your school cafeteria made good chowder.
You’ve almost fallen asleep driving between Houlton and Presque Isle.
You know how to pronounce Calais.
You’ve gone to a Grange bean supper.
In high school, you (or a friend) packed Deering Ice Cream cones.
At least once in your life, a seagull pooped on your head.
At least once in your life you’ve said, “It smells like the mill in here.”
There’s a fruit and vegetable stand within 10 minutes of your house.
You crave Italian sandwiches at least weekly.
Your house converts to a B&B every July and August for people from away that you happen to know.
All year long you’re tracking sand in the house-from the beach in the summer and the roads and sidewalks in the winter.
You have to have the sand cleaned out of your brake system every spring.
You do the majority of your shopping out of Uncle Henry’s.
You’ve ditched the car on the side of the road somewhere because you thought you saw some good fiddleheads!
You know a lobster pot is a trap, not a kettle.
You know not to plant tender crops until the last full moon in May.

You take the New Hampshire toll personally.
You always wave when you see a Maine license plate in another state.
When you’re supposed to dress up, you wear flannel with a tie.
There’s too much “stuff” in your 2 “cah” garage to get either of your cars into it.
You know what a frappe is.
L.L. Bean’s not just a store, it’s a way of life.
“The City” means exclusively Portland.
You’ve made a meal out of a Jordan’s red dye hot-dog, a bag of Humpty Dumpty potato chips and a can of soda.
“Salt damage” is a viable insurance claim.
All of the traffic lights blink yellow at 10 o’clock at night.
It’s not a storm – it’s a Nor’eastah.
“Open 24/7″ might as well be Greek.
More stores have “Bienvenue” flags than “Welcome” flags.
You eat ice cream with flavors like ‘Moose Tracks” and “Maine Black Bear”.
You know that a chocolate doughnut is not a white doughnut with chocolate frosting.
You wouldn’t eat beans in tomato sauce or Manhattan clam chowder if you were starving!
As a child, you played outside in a snow storm without hat, mittens, scarf and with your jacket open because it was just a little cool.
The area around your back door is referred to as “the dooryard”.
You eat potato chips with flavors such as “clam dip”, “ketchup” and “dill pickle”.
You call the basement “downcellah.”
There is only one shopping plaza in town.
You use “wicked” as a multipurpose part of speech.
Your pickup has more mud on it then the ground around it for a 15 foot radius.
More than 1/2 the meat in your freezer is moose.
You enjoy a hot chocolate more than a margarita.
If your “luxury vehicle” is a twelve-year-old rustbucket on wheels.
If your dog eats better than you do, and more often too.
If you never say what you paid for an item but how much you “give” for it.
You know that “stove up” has nothing to do with cooking.
