In Eliot this summer the power went out in the evening during a storm. Next day was beautiful and sunny. I got home from work in the evening and still no power. This was right off 236, not off down some dirt road. Everywhere else was already back online, but it took until the following day to restore power. It seemed so absurd considering how nice the weather was. I was just happy it wasn't on my girlfriends work from home days, cause she would have been very grumpy.

haha That's more like it bub! In my low 20's, landscaping with my friends, we started laying on the Mainer accent hard. We thought it was funny, especially after a quick chat with Famah John where we dumped all of our shit. 13 years later I'm still doing the same work, self employed now, but I'm now stuck with the Mainer talk and it's ridiculous if I don't focus.

That's one of the more "Mainer" things I've read in a long time. I'm adding "bub" at the end of each sentence in my mind and "ayuh" to start, though. Feels more at home that way.

I tried Mcdonalds in porstmouth and kittery. Both closed. I just wanted some shit food to help deal with the pain.

I’m talking about Portsmouth, not Lee.

There are solid white lines that separate the lane that enters the circle from the right lanes that can just continue as if making a right hand turn. They have always been there and are very visible. Solid white lines are also internationally known as something not to cross, so there is no excuse for anyone to be doing so. The circle has a far more straightforward design than many, however a lot of people feel they have the right to skip the line or are just plain stupid.

That’s not a problem with the circle design. It’s a problem of people ignorant of what a solid white line means or just plain assholes.
