BTW, Mick, Maine is a "same-day registration" state. I was very worried about voting, and called the town clerk's office in Rockland to check. He told me I can walk in on November 2 with identification and proof that I live in Rockland, and vote in the election. Now that's progressive! Kath   
p.s. You'd BETTER come visit me in Maine, and bring the girls along!
