I'm so happy the best blotter in the state comes right to my mailbox every Friday. I also thoroughly enjoy the rundown of what's going down in Waterville each week from Steve and Sue. Did Steve make it to Burlington last week for his appointments during the big storm? I'll have to wait til Friday to find out!

Upon further reflection, the person called police dispatch with follow-up information: Dec. 27, at 1:43 a.m. “I need to amend my report and share that when I was looking for the source of disturbance in my back yard, I heard a scuffle, rustling of leaves, and a loud thump. Out of nowhere, a bright conical light - as bright as day! - shone into my yard and I clearly heard a voice say “Get in loser … we’re doing butt stuff.”

One of my favorite things (when I lived in town) was reading the Stowe police blotter. So funny. And this was wayyyy before I had Reddit. My favorite was (not quoting it… a long time ago)

“A caller heard gunshots. It turned out to be a turkey slamming its head against a barn door”.

Also people will call into the police for random shit. This lady at the restaurant asked if we had found her sunglasses and we said “ok were you in earlier today? We might have them!” She said “no can you check the floor? We were here three days ago” I wouldn’t be surprised if this lady called Stowe PD about sunglasses she was missing three days ago.

first part maybe, ufo definitely not.

acid doesn't make things appear from nowhere, it just makes things look a little more... fun. stuff breathes, has extra color. there aren't dragons farting out unicorns, this isn't a cheap sitcom

r/replications has some fairly accurate representations.

I appreciate the drugsplaining...but SWIM has plenty of experience in that arena.

I think that they can explain their experience with LSD without it seeming like they have to be “drugsplaining”. Maybe they, like so many other humans out there, use LSD for holistic and spiritual purposes and they don’t want it to continue to get the bad reputation it has when the bad rep only really comes from misuse of the medicine itself.

While I agree with how you’ve experienced (or read about) lsd, it may also appear that you, or the writer of the information you got, has aphantasia! People who can see images with their eyes closed (or open depending on how developed their mind’s eye is) can definitely see things that others don’t while having a spiritual experience on LSD. Which is pretty cool, but everyone is different!!

nah, I don't have aphantasia - that would definitely throw a wrench in things but I'm pretty sure I'm as blandly neurotypical as it gets!

you may see or experience things differently from other people, but you're not going to see Barney appear from thin air

I think a UFO appearing is a bit different than Barney or Unicorns farting dust. I mean, getting confused or spooked by a weird light could do it.

May I ask what makes someone blandly neurotypical? Having aphantasia isn’t something that makes you weird, it is actually really common and can occur naturally, or from physical or psychological trauma. Every person on this earth has a spectrum of what their mind’s eye can see or can’t. We have 5 different ways of thinking and only one of those is through imagery.
