Grown-up toys and the ‘kids’ who play with them

SUN JOURNAL • September 4, 2022

More adults have toys, or at least admit to it. Daniel Tanguay of Lewiston says, “The one good thing about being an adult, you can now get the cool toys you couldn’t as a kid. I get to have my firearms collection, without the ‘you can put an eye out with that’ speech. I get to have a boat and enough tackle to stock a local bait shop.” Jessie Chartier, Freeport: “Can-Am Outlander. Therapeutic! Anyone who rides 4-wheelers will say the same. Something about being out with nature just releases all the negative energy. If you can still see the color of the wheeler, you’re not muddy enough.” Janet Nadeau Briggs, Greene: “Jet skis and kayaks so far. Shopping for an e-bike.”
