Mainiacs is a revered term, only given to those who are 5th generation (or more) born in Maine. If you were born in Maine but you are 1st - 4th generation, you're a Mainer. Everyone else is just "a person from away". I came to Maine for "just one semester," but now I'm "tenure track" which means I'm here to stay for a while. As I was in those first few months, I am very excited about this adventure and the chance to meet the great people of Maine.

10/2/08 Price of gas is falling
This morning I got up early to get to the dentist by 8:30. He's replacing the old silver fillings in two of my teeth that have started to go bad. On the way to the dentist, I noticed that the price of gas at the local Irving station was $3.49 a gallon. On the way back from the dentist, I was too focused on the Novocain that was wearing off and I didn't notice the price of gas. A little after 2:00, I drove by the Irving station on my way to Dixfield to teach the graduate course. The price of gas at the same Irving station was now down to $3.48 a gallon. After the graduate course, I stayed for the ribbon cutting ceremony and it was nearly 8:00pm when I drove by the same Irving station on my way home for the evening. Now the price of gas was $3.47 a gallon. I wonder if it will continue to fall.
