Don’t telegraph your moves, Governor. Just DO it!

Just visited Maine last weekend. Such a beautiful state. Seems like most of the people there are hard working, sane, and normal. I hope it stays that way. Good job, Governor!
I can’t say (or even think of) the word “thwart” without also imagining Daffy Duck saying it. lol!
