State Symbol Suggestions for the Gov.

[nj2nh]

I am from Jersey but long to live in NH. I, too, thought the Old Man was the state symbol. Who knew?

The loon is a good idea. How about a moose (the mythical creature that many of you have claimed to see, but I doubt truly exists since I have never seen one in my nearly 50 years) or, perhaps, a llama?? Isn't there a llama farm in south NH somewhere?

nj2nh -

I was with you - until Sunday, when I saw my first moose! Around 11 a.m. I was driving up Ledge Hill Road in Tuftonboro between 109A and 171, she just sauntered across the road in front of me. Boy - and I thought my legs are long... I'm a believer now!

I think the Old Man is already symbolized on the NH Quarter. Now worth about 14¢, of course.

Interesting article in today's www.bostonglobe.com, top of the front page titled: 'How do you sell a Granite State?' which is similar to comments in this thread plus 129 Boston Globe reader comments, and has NH's tourist promo people wondering where to go with this.

Didn't somebody already recommend rebuilding the Old Man on the cheap with a fiberglass look-a-like completely wired with sound and lights and hoisting it back a-high cannon cliff with a helicopter......how's about a pschydelic Old Man plus an Old Man gambling casino for Franconia Notch State park......oh yeah!!

As we all are a'weirs, Motor Cycle Week is upon us.

Fatlazyless doesn't know about this here, but he is in the running... Like a vespa motor scooter, it allows floor boards for both left and right feet.

Long and since, New Hampshire is more than safe than being sold, in any fashion.

For all of those whom haven't had the opportunity, may I say Welcome!


My heritage goes back to the early days before and during the American Revolution.
We could be in a much better place, if we kept our learning caps on a little longer.
