Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Excellent, Sue!

I think, too, that fireworks are (at least now) illegal to use in New Hampshire. You can just sell/buy them there. Dirty dirty dirty Cow Hampshire.
Those kind of bizarro contradictions, and the highway robbery toll on 95, are why NH is on the list. Is there any way we can shift Vermont and New Hampshire? I like Vermont, and that would make it much easier to get to.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Wal-Mart super center. You can get booze, gas, guns, ammo, food, and a lawn tractor all in one stop.
Now I'm wondering what the penalty is for driving a lawn tractor while drunk and firing guns into the air....

I second that, Frank.
The tolls on I-95 cheese me off. I'm in the stupid state for what, about 10 or 15 miles between MA and ME?
I don't want their stinking EZ-Pass, either. I don't make enough trips to make it worth my effort. We used to buy the tokens, which you got for 50 cents on the dollar. That is, a five dollar roll of tokens paid ten (U.S. cash) dollars worth of tolls. They phased them out when they adopted EZ-Pass (which I think only gives you a 25 cent break, overall, and you might have to purchase the thingie, first). I think I still have some tokens.

I broke down and got one (when I had a car - I will reactivate when I have my new one) because it now works for the tolls in Maine as well (and I do make the occasional foray down 90, and will do a lot more so when I'm with wheels again).

Oh, and don't get me started on the Presidential primary hoopla. Ugh. Must get offline. I'm contemptuous over imaginary lines dividing land.

We almost always get off I-95 at the last exit before the tolls in Maine, so it's only the Hampton tolls that are an issue for us. Two bucks for a round trip over a strip of road that always has traffic issues, because of the damned tolls.
Maine used to be a part of Massachusetts. Were those New Hampshire towns between Mass. and Maine always New Hampshire's?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Liquor laws are stupid! I boggled when I moved to Massachusetts and couldn't buy beer when I wanted to. In Florida you could go to a 24 hr 7-11 and get whatever you wanted. And the drinking age was 18 when I was in high school which meant you could usually get stuff uncarded when you were sixteen.
Of course, without blue laws we wouldn't have Sundaes.
Belated birthday wishes to flea!
And happy birthday to Lyra Jane too.
