I can't imagine why anyone would want to live in Maine. State income taxes, state sales taxes, liberal lunatics in office, unfriendly to business, and lousy weather. A lot like Massachusetts, where they keep sending Hanoi Kerry and Chappy Kennedy back to the Senate, for decades now, except Maine sends the same two leftist Republicans, Collins and Snowe. New England in general is a good place to avoid.

Well........hubby was military. We got orders to Loring Air Force Base in 1983. We loved it up here. Bought a home in December 1984. Raised our daughter here. Settle in.

Hubby died in Jan 2003. So, since I am now alone and have many friends up here, I have no intention of leaving.

Well, sounds like you'll finally be able to go there to enjoy dinner again soon. :-D

I haven't posted in what is probably years. Yet when I read your posts in this thread I see that you are EXACTLY the type of person that this state DESPERATELY needs.

I am not a "Native" (Born in Newport, RI... a Navy brat), and brought up in NH thinking that all Mainers were "Maniacs". When I left the Navy in '73 I came to work at the State's only nuclear power plant. Maine Yankee is now just a "memory". What a travesty!

So keep on keep'in on and Godspeed!
