Same as Rutland, same as Barre, etc. Know why? Because the County Courthouse is smack downtown. What does that mean? That's where the criminals live because their license is taken away. The legal infrastructure grows downtown and local landlords resist investing in their properties - residential and commercial - because criminals trash them. It's a losing system.

Dammit. Popcorn got cold. I fed it to the dog.

Fine the shit out of both the driver AND the carrier. Post it in large lettering on signs at the Notch and before so that they can turn around.

Here's an idea:

Don't stop now, guys. I'm just heating up some Orville Redenbacher.

Some years ago my wife, before she was my wife, and I were dining outdoors at a nice restaurant when she suddenly shrieked and jumped out of her seat while swatting at her skirt. I leaned over to watch a massive cockroach scurrying away. Other than that, N'awlins was a helluva time!

Best is the strong economy and natural beauty. Worst is lack of affordable housing.

Ssshhh. REMAX just heard you say escrow. Be careful.

Damn. Mean, funny and timely all rolled into one.

Pig extermination. Definitely changing occupations.

Dude. She still won't admit she put the kids up to it. Before reading McTrollski's (who has WAY more knowledge about the crime and Pam's behavior after it than is being released) I was of the opinion that if she fully confesses and does a few more years, let her out. But after reading his input, eff her.

One can never go wrong with a Bugs Bunny quote. Kudos.

I'd take an asphalt plant over a paper plant any day. Have any of you ever been to Rumford, ME on a foggy day. Egad, the smell is hideous. And then, of course, there's the cancer thing.

Still though, I don't wish the asphalt plant on those folks.

A question, since I know nothing about asphalt plants. Does it have to be on town water/sewer? If not, why not build it somewhere away from residents?

Ahh, irony. I see what you did there.

SSSSSShhhhhhh.

Second for Stonehouse Pond.

Rent a bobcat and push it out of the way.

Lots of debate in this thread about "selfish" suicide. Not going get into it myself, except to say:

Thanks for doing what you do. I'm a veteran who happened to serve in the Navy during Desert Storm. Got some spiffy ribbons and get thanked all the time even though Iraq has no Navy (i.e. I mopped up oil, changed cannon plugs and fraternized with Asian women). Point is, day to day, you guys are the heroes. I realize it, and respect it, every day when my kids come home from school. I'm so sorry that society makes it hard for those whom are really the foundations of our future. It's just fucking shameful.

Very well said!
