Up??

Stella here.
OK, we gotta come clean... Couple'o folks asked why Harvey said UP in th' last postin' when he mentioned Lubec, him havin' run a lobster boat f'r s' many years.
Well, it's like this...
Me an' H.'ve been writin' on this blog f'r almost a year now. We fin'lly "got it" that some folks who're readin' it are FROM AWAY.
That bein' said, we try t' keep in mind that sayin' "down" confuses th' heck outta most of 'em, so most o' th' time we try t' write so's they won't get too flummoxed. ("Course, with Harvey y' c'n usually tell what kinda mood he's in by whether or not he worries about such things.)
So f'r those who don't know Maine... It's UP if y're lookin' at a map and y're from away, but it's DOWN if y're used t' readin' charts. That's why it ain't Up East.
Hope that's clear!

OK, that's all I got right now. It's one heck of a nice day an' me an' Molly's goin' off on a "toot" in her car just t' get out an' make sure things're still holdin' t'gether around here.
(F'r th' new folks: a toot's when y' just get up an' go off drivin' an' see where y' end up. There ain't no purpose to a toot 'cept t' get outta th' house f'r a bit.)
Mebbe we'll go UP or mebbe we'll go DOWN. It just depends...
:-)
Love,
Stella
