You ever seen someone slide their hand into a table saw?

Had a pair of Golden Eagles stop by the property once ... about 30 years ago. Absolutely majestic and HUGE. I swear the male stood almost as tall as 5' 10" me.

Here's a point of personal responsibility for folks to keep in mind: not a single one of us was born racist. Some of us were raised by our families and communities to be that way, and some of us weren't.

Yeah - looking at you "adults".

Less dangerous?

My favorite type of eagle!

Im pretty sure i saw a pair of them flying down the lake last year when i was on the Colchester causeway. At first i thought they were some osprey but as they got closer i could see they were much much larger then osprey and for sure were not bald eagles.

I have a couple pics but from a distance and its hard to really tell even if you zoom right in.

Was it by the swamp? We are a mile or two distant and have the sandhill cranes feeding in our fields most of the year…

That sounds like a good first step

Where do they go from here? From my understanding it appears it’s fans, not players, that are yelling obscenities. What steps can enosburg take? Not allow fans? Idk

Why not just ban the one parent?

Pretty sure it was a parent on Enosburg’s team that was shouting racial slurs. Other schools have dealt with it moving forward by banning all parents & bystanders from their home games.

this is a misconception, the vast majority of the hippies were Silent Gen, IE Bernie's Generation, I know that because my mom was a boomer who was born in 1949 and was 20 in 1969 and missed the entire movement because she was too young. The majority of boomers were younger than her even, just the very oldest boomers were part of that movement and they were a small minority of their generation.

I often see a bald eagle on route 116 when I drive home in the mornings. It’s so majestic! But this morning I saw a huge predatory bird that I initially thought was an osprey but it was much larger and darker. I’m wondering if it might have been a golden eagle now! Very cool. I see the most amazing birds on my drive home. Eagles, blue herons, barred owls. Lovermont!

Saw and got pictures, that's awesome. Nice job!

no war but class war

I drive through that area a few times a year (visiting friends nearby) and that's pretty hard to believe. I've been all over backroads in that area and the NEK and other than the one crazy cult in Craftsbury that used to pull guns on people, never had an issue (even when ending up on class 4 roads that turned out to be impassable where I had to back out or find a spot to turn around).

While I’ve heard of and can see validity in this concern, it’s important that this perspective is coming from a realtor who is getting essentially getting cut out of a deal here. Not saying it’s total bs but there might be a touch of bias there.

Can confirm. Now own overpriced small house, even though we took on some of the work ourselves. Still not quite finished.

I was told I needed 30% for a construction loan in 2019 from 2 credit unions

Building requires a different type of loan product than buying a preexisting structure. You could get a mortgage with 5% down but to get a loan to build it requires minimum 30% down so it can be much more unacceptable plus you would likely have to pay to create a well system and a septic system. Large ticket items

Commercial building is absolutely fucked right now, I'd imagine residential is as well. I'm a youth rock climbing coach and I've been waiting for a new climbing gym to open here in the Upper Valley (Lebanon NH) that I am supposed to work at. They budgeted high for construction knowing it would be expensive and their lowest bid was fucking $2 million over what they were expecting. Insane. I don't know any more specifics about their budget but I'd imagine a climbing gym built in Lebanon NH in a normal economy a few years ago would cost less than a million so this must be around triple their budget. Now I get to wait even longer for my job :(

Couture's Maple Shop is internationally renowned, ships internationally, in glass bottles, and is priced reasonably.

They have tons of other maple products too. The maple popcorn, maple covered peanuts, and hard candies are amazing

I agree with the general trend of cultural warfare, but lotsa industries have gotten rich off overselling that sort of division to ‘both’ sides of the divide. Nursing grudges is profitable. Plenty of movies in the 80s I grew up in featured richies as d-bags and the heroes being Men at Work (!). It’s not at all clear to me how many of those families where the family had one type of job swore their kids would not go into their occupation, for their personal reasons. Same for military service? I wish we had a better spokesperson for labor issues because Mike Rowe is sort of a choad.

Americans love underdog stories but don’t love underdogs. Look at how many Murkins say they ‘support the troops’ but don’t support single-payer or nationalized health care.

You might even be too young for it, but there used to be folks called “Yuppies” and seemingly they were tacky and were subtly ruining everything. That glide path got folded into ‘the American Dream’ too. Nowadays it’s aspirational and trucks are status symbols not work trucks, for urban and rural alike.
