Things here in Maine work differently than they do in other states. We know what we like and we stick to it. No matter what. While we could carry some bias, it might be that we happen to know that Maine is not just the best state in New England, but the entire country! Hands up if you agree. Since we can’t actually see your hands, we’re going to assume you agree. Here are a few things we think Mainers are particularly stubborn about. Let us know what you would add to this list!
No matter what, Mainers stick together. That means the friends we have today have probably been around a long time. We'll stick by each other, no matter what happens.
It doesn't matter what it is. Mainers have a determination you'll only find in New England. That means if you challenge us to something, there's a good chance we'll stop at nothing to win.

No matter what the forecast, most of us believe it'll just be "a dusting." Even when we get more than a foot. We still believe it's business as usual!

It's inevitable. Even when it's April we'll get snow. But, if the calendar officially says it's spring you'll catch us outside in shorts.
You've heard it before. You tell someone the weather is getting warmer and they warn you, "oh, we'll get one more before it's said and done!" And unfortunately, they're normally right.

Mainers know to expect folks to stop over unannounced. Especially if you have kids. So, we'll always have enough in the fridge. Just in case!
They said it couldn't be done. They said it shouldn't be done. "You can't get there from heah!" But, yet, we still try to get there from here.
For better or worse, every Mainer knows it. And, they'll probably never forget it. But still, we must prove it when it comes up in conversation!

Every year it comes slowly, but surely. Snow melts, rain comes and everything is now...mud. But, every year we continue as normal. As if the mud isn't actually out to get us. Note: It is. It IS out to get us.
We have them, we love them. They let us keep in touch with friends and family and they're great for wasting time. But, with the Maine Atlas & Gazetteer we have a hard time relying on our phones to get us from one place to another. This might be more of a generational thing. But we appreciate that folks in Maine are tied to this book rather than their phones.
Something else we’re stubborn about? Helping those in need. This Mainer is helping neighbors by delivering food using dog sleds!
