One of my first experiences here in Texas, and this is no bullshit. I went into a convenience store to get beer and the guy carded me. He couldn't figure out what the hell Maine was so he asked me. I said it's in the northeast. This genius says, northeast Texas? No joke, I was floored. I said Yup! and walked out with my beer.
Anyway, born in Limestone, went through school in Presque Isle, worked in Old Town for an engineering firm until one of our pipeline clients from Houston asked me to come down in 94, and here I am to this day.
