This is true.

You pay for your gas and the guy at the register is telling someone Maine has four seasons: winter, winter, winter and construction.

good job!!

anyone going around the augusta rotaries, use extreme caution in the summertime,,, if you see an out of state license plate, on a vehicle,,beware,,the right of way laws (around rotaries) are different in other states (in maine the folks already in a rotary have the right of way) those approaching must yield,,,,,, in other states,,the approaching vehicles have the right of way

You know you live in Maine when one of your friends knows every mom and pop in every mom & pop store from Fort Kent to Kittery.

I have a buddy like that. He's the Frito man for around here . I went to high school with him. He's been delivering Frito's for about 30 years. There isn't a store or store owner he doesn't know from Scarborough to Augusta!
