No doubt you’ll be fascinated to hear about our recent vacation in Maine. (Come over any time for a two-hour slide show.)
We did see an actual moose, albeit through binoculars from a distance (they’re very good at avoiding people) and ate a ton of wild blueberries. We also had some of the worst tomatoes I’ve ever had in August; couldn’t wait to get back to our garden.
On a side note, since Kodak ceased making carousel slide projectors in 2003 how do people clear the room of family and friends? With a PowerPoint presentation of their last vacation? A special effects laden horror overproduced and under edited in iMovie? And, without a movie projector, how do folks make shadow puppets? Can today’s children even make a duck or rabbit using only their hands and a bright light?
Maine, if you’ve never been there, has three industries: blueberry products, maple syrup products, and gift shops. Apparently, state law decrees that every town of more than 500 people must have a gift shop. Since every shop carries the same moose and loon themed merchandise, I’m not sure why this is. Visit the state and see if you don’t agree.
