That is cool. You should grab a pic of yourself recreating a scene from the comic at one of the locations.

I am shocked. :o  I thought everyone in Maine worked industriously from dawn to dusk 24/7 except for X-Mas and Bullwinkle's Birthday? Don't tell me there's 'Unemployment' and perhaps.... even vagrancy? In the Great Northeast?

Never fails to surprise me what people will wait for a long, long time in line for. The last International Donut Day, I think all donut stores gave away a free glazed donut. The one day I go out for donuts just happens to be this day (I rarely do), and EVERY store has a line out the door. Because of the free glazed donut. Which costs, what, $0.10?  ::) ::) ::)

[Sir Slash]

My dear, old Dad used to say, "Some people would line-up for an Ass-Kicking if you put the word 'free' in front of it".

Sorry to ruin your idealized version of Maine.

Still a far sight better than Houston.

[mirth]

Yeah, I don't think I could make it in Houston.

[Sir Slash]

We had our own Krispy Kreme Craze here in Fla. too. But now we've gotten over it and moved on to better things, like Fidget Spinners.

Did Batman kill Columbus Day for Portland?
And give the head of Columbus to the Indigenous Peoples?
And are drunks tired of winter the only true Indigenous People of Maine (and Wisconsin)?

[mirth]

I think it's safe to say whichever people have lived through Maine winters have been drunks.
