Ahhhhh! After nearly loosing all nuero-cortex function due to self induced stress created by the overwhelming need to get off of Long Island, it was decided that it was time for me to move to a state that emphasizes a more tranquil lifestyle. In short, I moved to Maine! While I haven't technically finished my thesis (err revisions and re-writes), I am vacationing and enjoying the domestic life, as a plus I even have gained some of my ability to think.
While Orono Maine isn't necessarily the most touristy portion of Maine (it is here more or less because of the college) it does have some interesting characters. Phill and I live in a house not far from campus across alongside the Still water river (a wooden paddle manufacturer blocks any view we would have of it). It is about a month ahead of Long Island as far as fall goes with temperatures already dipping towards the freezing mark. The fall colors and ready access to the river and fishing, however make up for any loss of the summer season.
The house Phill and I are renting the upstairs rooms in.
The sign for the paddle manufacturer (Shaw and teeney), note the store hours.

A fall fish I caught on the Western branch of the Upper-Penobscott river. Yes, I am fishing without pants (we had to wade across a fairly deep channel to get to the part with the large rapids we were fishing (Compared to the rivers in Colorado, this river is huge! ). And yes, I am wearing a mosquito net.

mosquito net and no pants - that's my sister folks!
Hey, be careful. I think I inherited it from mom.
