Buy two gallons. Buy fifty stamps.

Prior to the gas price increases, driving the family car costs $.50 per mile, average. Today, Mom and Pop stores aren't a bad deal—they offer next-door convenience and keep the cozy New Hampshire character that brought many of us here in the first place.

Hence the word basin. Everything in the Winnipesaukee Basin drains into our lakes and aquifers.

New Jersey isn't "all I-95 and refineries"—I agree; but compare NJ's "wild" areas with NH's "wild" areas.

2) The obnoxious signs (and honky-tonk) are designed to attract the attention of new customers: license plates from which state are most commonly seen?

(Besides Florida, that is. )
