I’ve lived up in The County (Aroostook County, Maine)

UMPI is used for two things: a “jumper” school for local kids to get basic courses out of the way cheaply before moving out of the house (and The County) to a “real” school in Civilization, and to generate teachers. Many of you hsve noticed, that new teachers these days are generally in the bottom third of their graduating class. And “The County” has been in a brain drain for DECADES, accelerated by the shutdown of Loring AFB, over a decade ago.

Good spuds though. I used to have to go up there once a year for the bank I worked for. A long, long drive from Portland. I had no idea Maine was that large.
