[GreenPartyVoter]

[redqueen]

1. Beautiful pics, thanks!

If I can't get to Canada... I'll settle for Maine. :)

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. Funny thing is, I am heading to canada on my vacation *g* NB and PEI

[Shoeempress]

2. Or share your lobsters

[GreenPartyVoter]

3. I was gonna say that, but a few other states do a bit of loberstin too

[Shoeempress]

10. Have you ever heard of a New Hampshire Lobster? I haven't.

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. I believe Massachussets might find some now and again. And I hear they

have something like lobsters out on the pacific coast.

Not sure how they stack up tastewise with ours.

(Mind you, I don't really care for sea bugs. Would rather have clams, scallops, and mussels any day and twice on Sunday. Except that would make me very very ill, I am sure! *lol*)

[Shoeempress]

17. Have you heard of a Massachusetts Lobster, everyone knows

the Maine Lobster may wander into Mass or NH, but he or she is not home. Pacific has no claws, not as good in my opinion.

[GreenPartyVoter]

22. No claws? They must look really weird *l* Actually, I am not fond of

lobster meat but I will eat the claws.

[SmokingJacket]

5. Dang, I thought those first two were paintings.

All right, everyone, we're moving to Maine!

Pack up your strip malls and your 12-lane highways -- "Pine Tree State" here we come!

[GreenPartyVoter]

9. We'll take all the liberals you can muster. But ya gotta bring jobs too if

you can. ;)

[quispquake]

6. Actually we were melting pretty good up here earlier this week!!!

After all the rain last month, I thought I could deal with ANYTHING rather than more rain...the heat wave of last week KILLED me though, so I am NOT complaining about the funky rainy weather any more...

Nice pix...

And yeah, NO MAINE BASHING folks :)

[GreenPartyVoter]

11. We've had two hot days this summer. today it was 40 when I got up.. my

bathroom windows are open and I can't close them. I am freezing.. yet still recovering from the sunburn I got on monday.

Go figure! *l*

[Burma Jones]

7. Um, Uh, Damn, I can't think of anything bad to say about Maine...

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. And I am tickled pink to hear that. :^D

[Lavender Brown]

8. I get too much mail from LL Bean

It's all your fault! :grr:

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. That's it! I'm gonna sic Tim Sample on you. (In case you aren't sure

who he is: http://timsample.com/ )

[DrGonzoLives]

15. Eh, I'll just go to Wisconsin

Maybe Duluth, too, or the U.P.

[GreenPartyVoter]

16. Never been out there. Never been west of OH for that matter

Would like to someday, esp to the pacific northwest. I want to see those trees of theirs. :)

[TheMightyFavog]

34. Who needs Maine to cool off when you have Door County, WI?

The bay of Green bay to the West, lake Michigan to the East, it's like Ma Nature's big air conditioner!

[GreenPartyVoter]

35. I am sure it's very pretty there too, but I love my ocean. :^)

[yewberry]

18. I'm going to be in Maine tomorrow!

Yay!!! I'm beyond excited...I'm enraptured!

I'm going to go swimming in Sebago first thing. I don't care what the temperature is!

Do I need to bring a sweater?

[GreenPartyVoter]

20. Here's your weather report

I believe you are headed to Cumberland County. :) Have a lovely visit!

http://www.state.me.us/mema/weather/weather.htm

[peacefreak]

23. Sweater?

I'd consider longjohns at this point. Steady cold drizzle only broken up by downpours. But Sebago on a sunny day? Nothing finer.
Hope you (we) catch some nice weather again soon.

[GreenPartyVoter]

36. I know it! I am freezin here!

[Gormy Cuss]

19. Mainiacs tolerate out of staters pretty good

Wintah is protection from being overrun year round.

Summer on the coast (preferably on a island OFF the coast) is the best place to be.

Have they lifted the red tide warning yet? I should go home for a visit but I'm not wasting a trip if there's no steamers.

[GreenPartyVoter]

21. Honestly I have no idea on the red tide.. Our family rarely eats seafood

beyond tuna in a can. Prices are a bit steep for the stuff for us locals and we don't ahve a family beach to go clammin' on anymore. :(

Bet you could find out online if the warning's been lifted though.

[Gormy Cuss]

31. What a shame there are no public flats near you

One of my brothers is a lobsterman so that covers the bug supply. The clam flats we used to go to are all off limits now. When I was a kid we used to pick up periwinkles off the rocks and steam them. We would never think to eat a mussel. How times have changed.

[GreenPartyVoter]

32. Mussels are purty good except for the "pearls". *l*

[Maine-ah]

24. no chance of melting up here

christ it feels like march!!! But I refuse to turn the heat back on.

Come see us for the Lobster Festival this year

http://www.mainelobsterfestival.com/

[GreenPartyVoter]

26. And the Full Circle Fair

[Pithlet]

25. I love Maine

I haven't been there since I moved to Tennessee 7 years ago. I used to go there almost every year, and I miss it so much. My absolute favorite state to visit.

[GreenPartyVoter]

27. Well, we love you too! Come back when you can. :^)

[slw]

28. Thanks for the pics...

I'm moving back up from Florida in a week, and your pictures have made me even more impatient and excited! My husband is already up there, and I couldn't believe he had to turn the heater on the other night! Six years of living in Florida have definitely thinned his blood......

[GreenPartyVoter]

29. Any time! What part of the state will you be in?

[Liberalynn]

30. I would never diss Maine

I love your state and wish I could move there. That's the biggest part of my dream. I'd like to be a real life Jessica Fletcher and write mystery novels in Maine, except I don't want to acutally solve mysteries or be a widow.

[GreenPartyVoter]

33. well, what's keeping you from moving? :^)

[Liberalynn]

37. Money

and complex family issues. I think I need to try and face up to them first but when I get a bit stronger and regain a bit more of confidence, then I will be on my way. I will make it happen someday. :)

[GreenPartyVoter]

38. Money. Yeh, that's a tough one. Hope you do get back up here by and by
