Other than my 2 years at Paul Smith's College, in the Adirondacks, I've always lived in Northern New England, about 20 years in Vermont, and 50 years in New Hampshire. I like Vermont, but I like "Live Free or Die" in New Hampshire better, Maine, though I've never lived there, is ok, my daughter is living in Maine now, just 15 miles from where I live in NH, so she's close enuf to do her tax free shopping in NH, no sales or income tax, how can you not like NH
now I gotta prepare for the nor'easter headed here this weekend
