Quit with you guys too. May be from away but still grew up on an island one without a bridge
Was there a lot of inbreeding? Not that anything is wrong with that...
A little bit but it was confined to a few families.
There is a long standing joke up here about Beals Island. The cemetary is filled with headstones that read either "Beals" or "Abel". Seriously. It's fucking creepy.
Anyway, the joke (which may or may not be true) is that the State of Maine errected the first bridge to Beals Island in the 50's to stop all the inbreeding.
Probably not as funny reading it as it is if you live here, sorry. First cup of coffee. I'm not on my game yet today.
