EstonianNounmaine Adjectivemaine Finnish(index ma) Nounmaine (stem maine-) From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. The State of Maine ( /ˈmeɪn/ (help·info)) is a state in the New England region of the northeastern United States, bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the southeast, New Hampshire to the southwest, and the Canadian provinces of Quebec to the northwest and New Brunswick to the northeast. Maine is the northernmost portion of New England and is the easternmost state in the contiguous United States. It is known for its scenery — its jagged, mostly rocky coastline, its low, rolling mountains, and its heavily forested interior — as well as for its seafood cuisine, especially lobsters and clams. The original inhabitants of the territory that is now Maine were Algonquian-speaking peoples. The first European settlement in Maine was in 1604 by a French party. The first English settlement in Maine, the short-lived Popham Colony, was established by the Plymouth Company in 1607. A number of English settlements were established along the coast of Maine in the 1620s, although the rugged climate, deprivations, and Indian attacks wiped out many of them over the years. As Maine entered the 18th century, only a half dozen settlements still survived. American and British forces contended for Maine's territory during the American Revolution and the War of 1812. Maine was an exclave of Massachusetts until 1820, when as a result of the growing population, it became the 23rd state on March 15 under the Missouri Compromise. From Wikipedia under the

Mosquitoes are pretty much everywhere and will become bothersome around late May and early June through August. Black flies, which are extremely small, are found most often in extremely rural areas near the woods, such as north of Bangor. What's most annoying about black flies isn't so much that they bite, it's that they swarm around you and are just plain annoying (I have swallowed too many to count while umpiring summer baseball behind home plate). Whether the mosquitoes and black flies will be bad in a given year depends a lot on whether there is a lot of standing water around; they breed near such water. Also, a warm, moist environment is conducive to breeding. … [cont.] Answered by Ryan R - Mon Mar 24 16:40:30 2008 Why did you choose a maine coon over any other cat?
