| State bird of Maine? Yes, mosquitoes. As Maine residents know, a mosquito is a large, furry bird weighing approximately forty pounds, with an eight-foot wingspan and a huge hypodermic beak capable of sucking a fat moose into a little shriveled raisin in about eight seconds. In fact, the word "Mosquito" comes from the Latin word "fatmus", meaning "a fat moose", and "squitare", meaning "to suck into a little shriveled raisin".
No, really! The mosquitoes in Maine are vicious animals, and they are not to be trifled with. Another vicious animal in Maine which is not to be trifled with is the Toll Booth Attendant. I would never allow a Maine Toll Booth Attendant within fifty feet of my wallet, because a Maine Toll Booth Attendant can suck a fat wallet into a little shriveled raisin in about eight seconds!
I like Maine. Maine's state motto is: "Come Back After Your Emergency Transfusion!" No, seriously, Maine is a great state, and its motto is something about the benefits of tourism. | |

| Re: Summer has arrived, kind of I suffered yesterday because I hadn't dug out my summer frumpies yet (I wear frumpies for chores because I don't care if they get dirty). I have my shorts on this morning though.
The Worcester area hit a new record yesterday - 86f - 26 degrees above normal. I refuse to put my air conditioners in yet though  -- "While you can teach an old dog new tricks, you simply can't teach him to be a cat."
