Well, it is a bit belated but, hello to you too. What part of Maine do you hail from? I'm in NW Maine, about 25 miles out of Rangeley in an unincorporated township. I chose to retired here and really enjoy the pace of life, the people, the brutal honesty, the weather, the culture, the history, and the beauty. Also, I love eating the tasty animals. I am a Buddhist, not a monk. I love venison.

There's a farm down the road where I buy a half a cow at a time. I also buy a pig or two from the same farm. They cut some wood off my property and I drink their milk and nom on their eggs. I pay a neighbor lady to clean my house, do my shopping, and cook a meal or three every week. I do not pay a whole lot but she says that she I pay her more than she's made at any other job and she only works about 20 hours per week so she's happy.

I am not far from Rt. 16 so my road is fairly well maintained. I had my driveway paved so that means I am generally on a pretty decent stretch of highway and it is only bad during the spring. They keep it well plowed, all things considered. If not then I have a truck and can just take that out and plow my own way into town. I do plow a couple of neighbors out on a regular basis. I do not have much in the way of neighbors though.

I'll be in your neck of the woods this weekend camping with my family. (Wife and I are mid 30s with elementary age kids living in central Maine.) I don't hunt, but I am a firearms enthusiast. Interesting to find folks who have done some BBSing. I used to run one for a while (Wildcat!) and it was an interesting endeavor. I started with 1200 baud and remember spending an hour downloading a 500K file...

You had mentioned your senate interests and I'd be curious to learn a bit more about it. Granted you wouldn't appear on my ballot (unless you were talking US senate and not Maine senate). I have my opinions, but they aren't necesarily all party line, and I would enjoy seeing a more moderate candidate that doesn't get caught up in the D/R quagmire.
