Our property borders a national forest on one side. We’ve had people try to camp or hike through our property before. And , of course, the illegal poachers/hunters/vandals/thieves

We didn’t do anything besides chase them off until about 10 years ago. Our property has a small pond. Several pairs of geese decided that our small pond makes a great year round home. They don’t bother us or our dogs/animals , but will aggressively chase anyone else. They are big, make a lot of noise & look insane when bothered. The original pairs have long since passed, I’m sure. There are sometimes more than three pairs. We are respectful & give them space during nesting.

We’ve not had any issues with hikers, looters, vandals or campers since the geese decided our pond makes a great home. Raise some geese for your property

Honestly, I feel like college is a joke in general. I use nothing I learned from college for my career. Everything is thanks to Google. We live in a world where most information is free if you are willing to put in the time. If I could go back, I'd tell myself to skip college. 4 years wasted not pulling in income while putting myself in debt. May not be a popular opinion but it's how I feel.

A while back, I read that UVM ranked last for state university funding. If Vermonters want UVM to be more accessible to Vermonters, the legislature needs to pony up some funding and set some grounds for in-state enrollment percentage.

I adore Fish and Chip. My mom was British and she preferred Union Jacks or Fish and Chip, but Fish and Chip were the only place offering mushy peas with your fish and chips, so they got the nod. Plus, the ladies there are top-notch.
