Yes … if only the kind sister and brother team who staff our town’s only general store would stop feeling entitled to rest and having one day off a week. It would be so much more convenient for the tourists if they put our visitors’ needs first and were open 7 days a week - even better - 24 hours a day!
If my friend that owns the historic tavern and restaurant would build an addition to increase the seating capacity of his dining room there would be more space to feed the tourists. If he would hire an experienced HR professional to deal with visa issues he could explore shipping in seasonal waitstaff from eastern EU or perhaps Jamaica?
Guys, we have to stop putting our needs and the needs of our family, friends and neighbors ahead of those who want to visit us. Insane inflation, housing and labor shortages, severe weather challenges, and a lingering pandemic be damned.
Have I understood the assignment?

I’m glad you asked. This is a monstera which means it’s a Vermonstera plant. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

We do. Luckily this town has buried electrical lines (unlike our home in the NEK)!

It’s no joke. Currently in Indiana and the temps dropped 40 degrees in 30 minutes when it hit - same storm front. Keep warm.

Check out Killington or Jay Peak. Stowe will be overcrowded and over-priced.
