I promised myself that I would not write about either one of these things. I just can’t help myself.

Besides being taxation nation Maine is the land where life is the way it should be.

I could not agree more. I love living here and Loma Prieta and Zumba have reminded me again why that is.

On Tuesday, October 16, 2012 Maine had an earthquake. At least I think it was on Tuesday. I’ve heard that it was either a 4.0 or a 4.5. I completely missed it. No, I wasn’t out of the state; I was playing computer games. I must have sneezed or coughed or something. However everyone here who has never been through a really big quake is all excited about it. I did see a photograph on facebook of a lawn chair that had fallen over which was attributed to quake damage. This is big news here. Like I said I didn’t even notice it. I was in the San Francisco Bay area during the 1989 Loma Prieta. I like living in Maine where a “big” earthquake is a 4.5.

Unless you’re living in Maine you probably missed this story. I think it ran on a national news network but for the most part it is small news everywhere else. A Zumba instructor down in Kennebunk was running a Zumba/prostitution studio. The guy that was “screening” her clientele lived an hour or so north of the Zumba/prostitution studio. Looks like they were the only two folks working the prostitution side of it. From rumors (and they are flying) she was actually making a photographic record of her “sessions.” Cam Groves even has a You Tube video entitled “I wish I knew.”

For several days the public was demanding that the johns be named and this week the court allowed it. Oh. My. Goodness. One poor old man who happened to have the same name as one of the johns was getting people coming to his house and non-stop calling. So the court put out names with middle initials and then later addresses. “Johns” are quitting their jobs because they have been exposed (pun intended.)

This is big news here in Maine. It wouldn’t be in some of the other places I’ve lived.

This”prostitution ring” has been the big lead news story for at least a month. I disapprove of fornication and keeping a photographic record (why would she do that?) just makes it more disgusting. However, that it is such big news here is actually kind of nice in a weird way.

I really love living here. It’s simple and innocent. A good place to live.

Maine, the way life should be.
