hey thanks. Peace of mind all around (I'd buy, but I don't get paid til monday).

Nope, not in Maine. Think holsteins & Howard Dean. I've shuffled throughout northern New England quite a bit but VT is my chosen home state. I figure I get to choose since I've moved so much - but northern New England is such a viciously regionalistic place, I'm sure you know the phenomenon - if you weren't born there (Maine, Vermont or NH), then you're from "away", even if "away" is the next town over, across the state line. I expect, although a born & bred Mainah, that your time in DC has garnered you "away" status. Me, I don't really count anywhere. Except maybe NH, where I was born, but frankly I don't really want to identify myself with NH. Oh well.

(I was travelling in the Southwest & had NH license plates on my car; a man at a gas station was impressed that I'd come so far and asked if I had anything with me that I could give him as a souvenir from New Hampshire. I didn't - but reflecting on it a while, I couldn't think of a single thing that would be a NH-specific souvenir. Maybe NRA "Charlton Heston is my President" stickers - or Bush/Cheney stickers. sure didn't have any of those.)

Freeport has gotten far worse since I was a teenager in those parts, and I'm 10 years younger than you. Outlet City. Still, I like going to Bean's at 3 AM.
