Jen and Oni went to Maine for a nice long weekend and all I got was some nice pics. Oh...okay, okay. I also got some awesome dark chocolate coated malt balls, GIANT nonpareils, and a furry dark turquoise vest (because, being an elderly twat, I am ALWAYS cold). In any case, I'm not sharing my chocolates but I will share the pics as well as some random amusing memes. Yur welcome. Also, remember to take deep breaths and hydrate today.
There was a young lady from Gloucester
Who complained that her parents both bossed her,
So she ran off to Maine.
Did her parents complain?
Not at all -- they were glad to have lost her.

Portland could have been any city. Port Clyde was too uncluttered to be anything else. There is a reason Stephen King sets his stories in little Maine towns. They are too quiet to be believed wholly savory.
~ Thomm Quackenbush, Holidays with Bigfoot
And if one had a sorrow, Maine was the best place to be.
