Unlike metesky, you are very intelligent. The whole thing is a dialectic to stir up trouble. See, the morons that engineer this whole thing, think that Mainers are a bunch of Neanderthals from the Beans of Egypt Maine, whereas you have to be pretty smart to survive a Maine winter...smarter than they are.

If you're gonna talk about me, have the FReespect to ping me, plasticbutt.

I hold metesky in very high regard and I respect him a lot!!!

We are transplants from Ohio, and moved to northern Maine in 1983 because of Loring Air Force Base. By living up here for such a long time, I have found that most northern Mainers are just hard working farmers, trying to make a very hard living working in their fields.

Most of the people up here aren't political although we did have a big voting turn out last week. However, they must not keep up with the news on the Candidates. Most of Aroostook voted for Baldacci, to which started dry heaves among a LOT of us!

Maine also refuses to extend I-95 on up from Houlton, to which the truckers abhor coming up here. Even gasoline is at $1.64 today. I hear it's cheaper in southern Maine. Why oh why!

They talk about two Maines. I believe it. And the lawmakers sitting down in Augusta could care less about us up here.

Winters? Oh yes! We do get the winters. heh!
