Is that a Polaris? I miss snowmobiling. What a great way to enjoy the outdoors.

I know that view well. Learned to ski on that hill and to skate in that facility.

I am so overdue for a visit home.

So it sounds like the plow guy did exactly what one would want and expect. He touched up the driveway, he didn’t encroach on the area where cars were parked, and he caused no damage. He had no control over the car being where it was but it didn’t matter because the car wasn’t damaged.

Your bf sounds like a pill and I have to wonder how he behaves in other aspects of life. Consider for example how he’s going to be when your 3-year-old doesn’t put his toys away “correctly,” if you were to have kids with him.

Keep the plow guy. Drop the boyfriend.

“Road apple” for me has always meant horse poop. I’ve never heard it used to describe actual apples. I was expecting something very different from this post. Lol

Brattleboro.

I'll add to the other comments by noting that in my home town, there were a bunch of devastating fires that wreaked havoc on Main Street and the downtown area, followed by the rebuilding using brick and stone rather than wood. A lot of downtowns have beautiful old brick buildings dating from that period - they were well built and resistant to fire and so there's been no reason to replace them.

So I think there's an aspect of building for sustainability to it too.

Best car I ever had for winter was an 80s era Civic with front wheel drive and all seasons. That thing would go anywhere. I lived in a trailer park (not a "manufactured home community," this place was a trailer park) that had a long, steep hill from the main road. Every winter, it would get bad and dozens of people would have to park their 4-wheel-drive trucks at the bottom and trudge up while I'd just power up in my little Civic.

I miss that car. I called it Ralph.

The real question is where you can find public transport in Vermont.

Beautiful baby! Congratulations!

I miss home.
