LOL ... Hard to tell.  Our town square has 3 flags flying ... US,
Canadian, and State of Maine.  We're 3 miles from the NB border near

If I go due west far enough ... I'll hit Quebec.  Due east ...
Woodstock.  We have Canadian sunrises and Canadian sunsets and the rate
of exchange is posted in most stores.

We have Irving gas and a Tim Horton's and our MacDonald's sports the red
maple leaf.
