They don't even have very strong accents in that part of Maine, Spaw. I had a good friend who's brother-in-law, wife, kids, dog and assorted drunken friends lived up in Wells Branch, in a sort of hippie redneck community, and...nah, that'd be too much of a coincidence. Anyway, I could understand them, but had a problem when I went waaay downeast (or upnorth). Three times through the sentence usually worked.
