The wait is over!Summer officially arrives tonight, at 10:42pm. That doesn't help much for Friday, but tomorrow, everything we have been waiting for on a Saturday, finally happens. By our count, the last 13 Saturdays have either been filled with rain, or cloud cover, and that is pretty damn depressing. Not to worry, Saturday is everything you have been wanting and more.

To honk or not to honk, that is the question that could affect your wallet. Whether you're driving from Massachusetts to New Hampshire, road-tripping from Connecticut to Rhode Island, or from Maine to Vermont, you may want to know when you can and cannot legally honk your horn. I'm guessing you take advantage of your horn when that annoying driver in front of you just sits there for several seconds after the light turns green.

A food truck lovers dream exists in the State of Maine, that would make for the perfect summer road trip!I can't lie, I have a fairly huge obsession with food trucks. I really get obsessed when there are multiple trucks in one space at the same time, so it goes without saying that I have spent more than a few days on the Bangor Waterfront, grabbing lunch. Food trucks have existed since as early as the 1930s, but they gained their true popularity in more recent decades, after the 2008 recession.
