Ah, Maine...

Actual headline from yesterday's Bangor Daily News: "Heartbroken donkey still on the lam."

PITTSFIELD - Jenny the donkey remains on the lam but her owners may be closer to corralling the incorrigible critter.

Ever since she escaped on Jan. 18, the donkey has stymied efforts to get her back including tranquilizers and a horse whisperer.

The speculation is that Jenny has been roaming the woods behind the farm looking for a partner from whom she was separated at auction.

There is a Carl Hiassen-style book waiting to be written about the weirdiments of this state.

We had some friends that moved to Maine for a few years (and are now gone again) and they still look back fondly at the local news TOP stories over their stay. Their favorite was the breaking story that "Kids backpacks are too heavy".

Do NOT get them started about local commercials...!

There's local commercials, and then there's Atlantic Canadian commercials ...
