P.S.

Gail here - A few of you have asked for some continuing entries in the blog, about what it's like adjusting to Maine life. So here are a few observations from my first week:

The weather is a topic of conversation with everyone you meet (including the lady that took my fuel oil payment). You must cover today's weather, recent history, and what's in store. So...yesterday we broke high temperature records - it was 55 (the previous record was 50). Today it's still warm (high 40s) with gusty winds and patchy rain. But there are 3 storm systems headed our way over the next week.

(This was actually Carolyn's observation) In the winter, all Maine cars eventually end up the same color - sandy/salty muck brown. There's no point in washing my car till summer because it would be dirty as soon as I got back on the road.

Now I know why Mercedes Benz puts those windshield wipers on their headlights. You must wash them to get rid of that muck so you can see the road at night. "Washing" includes using snow to scrub them clean.

The big winter social event is going to the high school basketball game. It seems like the whole town shows up. Maybe I've just missed this because of skipping parenthood?
