There are things that we accept as fact simply because we exist. Humans need air to breathe, for example. True. Fact. But, there are some things we Mainiacs believe to be true that the rest of the country just won’t understand. For instance, we know that a cold and wintry day with a lake covered in ice can add up to some pretty decent fishing. Think our Floridian friends would agree? Probably not! Here are some other things only people from Maine know to be true!

1. Talking about the weather isn't small talk. It's just talk.
