Laska, what a great job as hostess with the mostest and an interesting look around the country and even the world. My town is still pretty rural - population in 2010 = 4,281. At one time, this part of Maine was a territory of Massachusetts. No matter how long you live here, if you weren't born here, you aren't a "native" - even if you were born in another New England state. Yes, there are those who substitute "h" sound for "r" (we drive cahs, and pahk them in the dooryard). People here don't have strokes; they have "shocks". They don't go to the lake or cottages for vacations, they "go to camp" (until I learned tis, I wondered what summer camp these adults were going to!) We are about 25 minutes from Portland, Maine's largest city, 20 minutes to the ocean and 30 -45 minutes to mountains and 45 minutes from LL Bean - a famous, historic Maine outdoor company made famous by their hunting boots.

Quite nice shots, like the mirror. If you do a shot like that with a cop car and flashers running, you' better pull over


Yep, there are times when the truck mirror is the best shot frame. Thanks.

My Town - last part. We also have agriculture and animals of all kinds - moose have walked through our yard (21 acres) and deer are a customary sight. We have hidden trails that offer fantastic scenery and photo ops - if you have sturdy boots and don't mind black flies and mosquitoes. And much much more. But the best part is the people who live here!

Muskrats in our brook

Cows, winter food supply, down around the bend

Yeah I do too, as long as they pass north of us.

Be on I-90 Sunday or Monday, I'll wave as I go by. On my return trip I'll drop down to Rt.6


I hope you enjoy passing through our area RR. :-)

pg 14 - Loving the humour!
Very nice rock - but you obviously don't expect visitors to your home.... that said, why would they go to the rock when you have such a fab front and back yard?

I am a recluse and don't have many visitors. A large living area is not needed so the rock is fine.

Love that "Bush" humor. Garbage disposal is the best.
