Branch Mills, picturesque part of China, Maine includes historical, old Cemetery where my Dearest Friend Blanka and her baby, Clancy were put to rest. I'm a "granola bar" tourist, yet mentality of Branch Mill's people makes me fortunate to be a New Yorker. What's wrong with those people ? They seem more dead than their neighbors at the Branch Mills Cemetery ! You may not see them, know them, but one can feel the bad vibes. This beautiful, Central Maine land, does not boom in the tourist industry. Local people, very specific, what reminds me of the Steinback's experience with the local Mainers, and I believe, Faukner's as well, are locked, unfriendly; neither peasants, nor city people. One can feel like in the forgotten, accidental stop in the middle-of-nowhere Deep South. It's the people. The land is marvelous ! less
