Where was everyone where it stopped so early? I'm in Kittery, it was coming down in gobs until nearly dinner time

This was probably the heaviest snow I've ever had to deal with. Almost slush, but with the bulk of actual snow. It kept going at a good clip until about 4-5pm in my area.

Shoveled around noon because it looked like it was winding down. Glad I did in the end, if I had waited till 5 to one-shot it I'd be in a world of pain today.

"The first duty of everybody in life is to realize that they're a piece of shit..."

This whole diatribe fundamentally changed my outlook on things to an extent. And for the best. The man was a philosopher.

I'm well aware. I'd rather that than it close all together though. I am sad I missed my window to visit while Kenny was alive.

This is my all-time favorite documentary. I watch it a few times a year. I have Kenny's book, a Shopsins menu printed on a decorative towel, and this little plastic stencil for "make your own spaghetti and meatballs" art. All were available to buy from them online a year or so ago.

I agree. I'm a big ratio guy with sandwiches and whatnot. It's never a popular opinion, but cake, and in this case, the pies, have too much frosting the same way lots of Italian sandwiches have too much meat. I don't want a block of ham and salami, I want a nice ratio of veggies, cheese, meat, etc. I joke all the time about opening an eatery called hoRATIO Sans(wiches). Like the comedian. ( a stretch I know)

I remember White Hen. Only ever saw them down in MA, but now that you mention it, haven't seen one in about the same amount of time!

Has been for decades. I was really young when it was Christy's Market. We also call the Pine Tree Country Store on Rt. 1 Tom's... but that's a deeper, more obscure cut.

I still call the 7-11 on the Kittery circle Christy's

I hope this place, wherever it is, thrives.

Damn that's pretty accurate. I bring a big-ass flashlight on the road with me, customers are always like "oh wow that's so smart". I'm thinking to myself "no, its literally the only way I can see your house numbers and not break my neck walking to your door BECAUSE ALL YOUR LIGHTS ARE OFF."

It's in booth bay. I don't think it moves.

You are absolutely right, poor choice of words. Now that we made the switch we are never going back. We love it, and we love the prices too.

Cant-Afford's (we had to downgrade to Market Bucket due to inflation)

yeah, yeah, bigot, nazi, yawn, talk about boring. Hit me with "spreading misinformation" so I can fill out the rest of my reddit bingo card.

> Find me those numbers

no

>I'll concede your point if there is a large difference

I don't care if you agree with me. I'm just sharing my experience.

condescending! that's the word I was missing. Thanks!

and THAT subreddit is chock full o' full of terminally-online losers that get their dopamine hit by pearl-clutching and handwringing over every tiny perceived injustice against the all-knowing guardians of virtue, brigading and reporting anything on reddit they deem wrong-think.

It's a humor subreddit. They're jokes. Lighten up. And before you link me to some other horrible thing someone said on the internet (yes that particular image/joke was not cool) , I don't care. You cant control what people do, terrible people can post words online wherever they want, that's fine by me.

"Everyone I don't agree with is a neo-nazi"

I've... never heard that one. Trashachussets, Garbagchusetts sure. But that, that is something to behold. Thank you.

It didn't, but that's ok. This year is turning out to be quite a show! HAve not seen the colors this nice for a few years...

So... "It's me who is right, and everyone else who is wrong".

You hear Mainers talking about this all the time for a good reason. It doesn't come out of thin air, its observed behavior and pattern recognition (so atavistic, how low-brow of us). I know what confirmation bias and selective perception are, but thanks for the links.

I drive for a living, I'm out there all day everyday and I see it all. Not every MA driver is careless and/or rude, but after 40 years of observation some patterns do emerge. I understand they drive the way they do for a reason, I lived in Boston for 10 years. It's just how you need to drive down there, but it doesn't translate up here and its glaringly obvious to witness.

I literally just got home from work, and about an hour ago I was up at the small rotary heading from Dover to Durham NH. This rotary is tiny, I usually go about 15 miles an hour approaching and around. Its so small you really cant be going any faster than that. The car in front of me approached going about 35 mph, veered into the outside lane (two lane rotary) in front of me at the last second, no signal, no yield. They crashed into the car already going around the rotary. Everyone was ok. Guess where they were from?

I can tell you besides the wealthy takeover of many areas, for me it's the way they drive around here.

There are 2 groups of drivers from MA. The first group will drive slowly, sometimes down the middle line, stop in the middle of the road with no indication of what they are doing, use the wrong lanes to turn, and just generally make it nerve-wracking to be around. I call these the unintentionally oblivious.

The second group drives as fast as they can with total disregard for signalling, doing whatever the hell they want as if they are the only person on the road. Tailgate you, pass you aggressively. I call these the intentionally obnoxious.

I can only speak for myself but when I'm in an unfamiliar area you better believe I'm white-knuckling it, making sure to be in the right lane, looking for turn-only lanes, and generally trying to stay out of way of people who are local. I try my hardest to not be a pain to my fellow drivers and I guess I foolishly expect the same when they come to my town

MA doesn't even bother me at this point. The amount of NJ, NY, and CT plates in my town in October is too damn high. Do these people have lives to get back to at any point?
