You Know You're a Mainer If:

• your 4th of July picnic was moved indoors due to frost.
• you have 1 month, after the snow melts, to do all your outdoor projects before the black flies hatch.
  
• you measure distance in hours.
• you know several people who have hit a moose more than once.
• you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
• you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction.
• griving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
• your neighbor throws a party to celebrate his new shed.
• it's warmed up to 40*, so you can drive with the windows down.
  
• you have more miles on your snow blower than your car.
• you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked.
• one week after the snow melts, the neighbors set up their pools.
  
• you think landscaping is a statue of a deer or a black silhouette of a bear in your front yard.
