Local shopping for me, is the grocery, couple hundred there, building supply, more hundreds there, Hamilton Marine, coup

le hundred there. Ben Franklins just don't work for that stuff. And the gas station penalizes you if you pay cash, you have to walk inside these days. We always add the tip to the credit/debit card receipt. I still feel respect.

One thing that still flies in Maine, the 'check'. You can still write a check almost anywhere, you don't even need an ID. In fact some small biz will only take a check or cash around here. But except for travel, I go weeks without a cent on me. Just ask my kids.
