You don’t even need an account. I think they do charge a small convenience fee but you will still make out better then using a ATM in CA.

I have exchanged US for CAD from TD in Vermont and usually make out pretty good with the exchange rate.

No clue why I’m getting downvoted haha
Why did your towns not print their index when it was back up last week?? What towns have you had trouble with? Manchester immediately printed the index when Cotts was back up so searchers wouldn’t have to take as much time searching while everything is down.
Like I said, it’s a complete pain but I’ve found searching in-person in these towns is doable and haven’t needed to delay anything because of it.
(Also I’m so happy to see another VT title searcher here!)

Mine screw onto the roof purlins. https://www.midmichiganmetalsales.com/product/snow-defender-4500-color-powder-coated-snow-guard/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA_P6dBhD1ARIsAAGI7HDv_pUL8_W4YSVWS29T3oNJ8bLpUfGrWFRLWTc7UNB7bZjrGK8F8LoaAjUfEALw_wcB
They don’t necessarily hold all of the snow on the roof all winter. They mainly just prevent huge overhangs from dumping off all at once. To enable still slowly comes off, just a little at a time.

fair enough, maybe no logo change could have saved it. raping and pillaging isn't a super cool behavior overall I suppose.
in general... who gives a rats ass. bunch of grown ass adults getting riled up over the high school sports team mascot. lmfao. pick up a football, get a fuckin hobby. jesus christ.

This is fine. It's a school team. I don't know why people invest such emotion into such trivial things.

That's a great idea! I remember getting 10 minute breaks and they set up sleeping cots in the changing rooms. You got a small window to rest and there were prizes. It was packed. Now I gotta find that picture!

Hanover (NH) did have a pirate for a mascot (they called their teams the Marauders), and they just changed to a bear. Raiding and pillaging is no longer considered acceptable behavior.

I guess my opinion is way different. I'm from Seattle area and other then lots of speeding on your freeways I found Vt drivers to be much less aggressive then the Seattle area. I found with the east Coast in general ppl love driving really fast on the freeway. I mean we're all driving about 10 over out here, but on the east coast I'm like man they like driving 20-30 over, dang.
But here on the west coast, Ppl are just nuts out here. Like I commented elsewhere, so much disregard for red lights, stop signs out here. It's about getting in front of the next guy and the next guy.
I'll take driving in Vermont any day, lol.

Agreed. Metal seam and new gutters for seven years now; gutters set right and proper roof ventilation has meant zero problems.

43 towns is not a lot. There are 251 in the state.
The state has its own parcel map project that costs nothing.
*this is a private company capitalizing on a service the state provides for free.

Wow, all these posts about this. Had no idea, hate it when ppl do that.
Things are getting worse and worse in the Seattle- Eastside area. Running red lights is getting so bad here. Not just one person, but I've watched 5 cars go through the red light after the other direction turns green. Ppl just driving straight through 4 wait stops. And then you get that rando who stops in the roundabout cause they don't understand how roundabouts work. Lots of speeding and aggressive driving. Are they really late for work or are they just angry? How can that many ppl always be late for work? I don't get that anyway, just leave early man, how hard can it be? I work in the medical field, we can't be late for work!

Not sure why you're getting downvoted; seems like a healthy discussion here...
The problem I am running into is that the particular Cotts towns I have been working in did not continue to make physical copies of the index cards (or other physical copies of the indexes) after they went to the Cotts system, so I have not been able to perform searches "back to how they used to be", because there is no index available at all for me to reference from. It is good to hear that it is not the case with the Cotts towns your firm has been working in, but please do not assume all the Cotts towns have physical backups of their indexes- I sure wish they had all been smart enough to do so, but that is not the case.

More often the fun of ridicule and “common sense” excuse are used to prevent change that is more kind to the marginalized.
How about focusing on normalizing inclusivity.

Is it 43out of 251 towns. A private company. The state system is up, I pulled a deed yesterday.
