Gees, around here if you leave town to go out to dinner you're from Away by the time you get back. That must make us all upper social strata. I suddenly feel so important!

Well, I'll say this, up until about pg 4 of this thread this was a pretty informational thread!

At least I now know what a "straphanger" is ... I think! From what I can gather, there ain't none of them in the Calais area!!

lets not be bragging princess molly, the straphangers and flatlanders, will get envious.

and all this time, i thought the elevated social status, was measured by how many lobster traps someone had, or the number of broken-down vehicles, scattered around the yard, used as plant-pots.
