:-)

I'm just glad they didn't go with changing the yearly inspection to twice a year yet.

That's good to know. :-)

Fun fact. One in Six Starbucks in the State of Vermont is now Unionized.

A couple years ago the kids wanted to try Sugaring, so we got a 50 gallon blue bucket and all the gear and proceeded to tap our maple trees and fill the barrel with sap over the course of a few days, but... the kids got bored so we left it sitting on our porch.

So of course a squirrel ended up drowning in the barrel, but no one wanted to get it out. Not to mention the barrel was full so at several hundred pounds was nearly impossible to move by hand.

We ended up just leaving it there for like 3 years till the squirrel finally disintegrated and then awkwardly pushed the barrel over to the woods to dump it out.

It was pretty gross.

Worse was when the dogs found the bones of the squirel and paraded it around the yard.

True VT story. :-)

Yes.

Jay Peak's trails spell the word "TRY".

Ah man, I was really hoping this was purely a Vermont thing. :-(

Just like good beer, cheese, maple syrup, fentanyl and everyone owning Subaru's. :-)

Nah, seriously, of course not. I just thought it was a cute title when I drunk posted it.

Although I will say it's not a super common sight in downtown Morrisville on a weekday. Saturday at the Cow Palace in Derby is a different story. :-)

Indeed.

It really becomes ingrained in you when you see it 10 months a year.

This is a welcome bill.

Hopefully though they won't mess it up like the cannabis thing. Prices are still double the MA prices for some things.

Republicans in VT are old school? Have you been to the NEK? It's Trump land over here. Not a day goes by that I don't hear someone complain how.... "nobody wants to work any more" or some other Fox News talking point.

Not shown is the car at the intersection, trying to find the Von Trappe Lodge, holding up traffic unsure if they have the right of way.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. I’m all for more locations and competition, but over saturation combined with insanely high prices (caused both by limited access and excessive taxation) could spell trouble for these businesses. I don’t want to see them fail, but right now it’s still cheaper to drive to MA and stock up than pay these prices that are nearly double.

Needs at least one singlewide with a bunch of half working vehicles and broken farm equipment in the front yard.

Can confirm. Exact same experience with coverage. Sprint user since the early 2000's here. When they made the switch over to T-Mobile a year or so ago, my coverage went from nothing to actually pretty darn good.

I'll upvote you for this.

This is an inspiring story that highlights how wonderful modern science is. This is a real affliction people face and is no laughing matter. Life changing is understatement. I'm happy for this women and am sure it's just the start of making others people's lives better.

That being said..... if you can't find some humor in the idea of it, you're a freakin' stick in the mud. It reads like an Onion headline, that just opens itself up to countless punchlines.

When did we as a society decide we can't both celebrate something and find humor in it as well?

On the plus side, they vote. :-)

I get your point, but aren't like 99.9% of the population serfs with iphones though?

It's not like any of us actually own the land we're living on. Sure you can buy property, but it's really only yours until someone in charge says it's not. We're all pretty much beholden to some master.

Really the main difference is that some of us are aware we're slaves and some of us don't (who apparently would vote to keep it legal).

Let's be honest though. If you took a poll, you'd probably get at least 40% of American's who'd be ok with public execution and displays like this.

Where do you buy this? Take my money now!!!!! I have children I’d sell!!!!!!!!! First born, half price!!!!

Chip, I'm all jacked up on Mountain Dew!

When the apocalypse hits, the grocery stores in Vermont are going to be picked clean..... except for the fake maple syrup. It's just going to be a whole corner aisle at Shaws full of Mrs Butterworth and storebrand pancake syrup.

Four Quarters has great beer and food and parking and pin ball.

Bet that dog was annoyed they had to give the arm back.

Glad I could bring a giggle to your day. :-) Much appreciated.
