The drink menu is comprised of two choices: Moxie or Allen’s Coffee Brandy, aka the champagne of Maine.

You think Taco Bell is real Mexican food.

No, but your formatting is dogshit.
Use "-" and the Enter key next time.

You start digging into thigh deep snow and still don’t find the roof rake. But I did A roof rake, just not the good one.

Yup! I just came back from Texas and saw 15+ year old cars without a spot of rust on them. It was remarkable.

I split time between Denver and Maine and first year I was out there I saw a 1990ish Chevy Cavalier Z24 on the road and my mouth dropped. That vehicle in Maine would’ve been recycled into a lawn chair 20 years ago. Nothing rusts out there due to low humidity.

Sadly that is not limited to Maine or even the northeast.
Though there are some fine examples of Mexican food in the state.

I'm from MA (been in Maine 16+ yrs) and I didn't realize measuring distance in minutes was unusual until I lived in SoCal for a year. Apparently it's just us New Englanders that do this!

Is that where 12 feet of snow fell in a couple weeks?

El El Frijoles in Sargentville and Vazquez Mexican Takeout in Milbridge are two that I can personally vouch for.
I grew up in CO and spent many years in the southwest for whatever that’s worth.

I am from Texas and Colorado, and I'm still shocked that things rust. And how quickly they rust.
Genuine question- is there anything we should be doing about it? Our snowblower is only a year old and I noticed some rust on it. Is that a potential problem? Should we be storing it differently, or get something to remove the rust?
floralwhale t1_jb0f8kw wrote
Isn't this an American thing? I've lived in TX, CO, and DC and never heard anyone talk in miles. Maybe just a coincidence in the states I've lived in.

This winter the Northeast isn't even in the same league with parts of the West in terms of snowfall, where multiple feet is the norm.
We must tip our hats to them - plaid hats with ear flaps, of course.
