Don't sit in the left land on the highway if you're doing 50mph.

Wow. I read this as “someone tried to mount a Jersey” and choked on my oatmeal.
It’s a blurry morning.

Gun laws are more relaxed here and people are okay with it. You might be surprised at who has em. I think people tend to be on a slightly earlier schedule here day to day. Also stuff closes early gl if you want to eat after 8:30

Happens all the time. We have a whole group of folks out of state that moved to the most remote part of our town. So remote it is on an unmaintained, previously a snowmobile trail in the winter, class 4 road.
The owners started plowing it, when the town refused, which is their right. now they want the town to maintain the road year round for them. Its crazy. You chose to buy a house on an unmaintained road, what did you expect?

This is so underrated. I had some woman from NJ get all pissed because she lived next to a farm and they spread manure on the field and she called the cops and got laughed at and was super pissy about all sorts of stuff with the farm SHE DECIDED TO MOVE NEXT TO *Spelling

It's easy to volunteer in your community. Join the fire dept., or run for selectboard, or join the conservation commission, make yourself useful. If you live in a small town this is the best way to make friends and fit in. Most places are begging for participation.

This is a seriously flatlander take. This guy doesn’t know shit.

There’s something like what you’re looking for that someone puts on in Bridgewater. I can’t remember the name of it but I’m sure keywords will lead you to it..

I lived in Massachusetts previously and moved to VT as a young adult. The biggest differences (at least when we moved nearly 15 years ago)
The authority of town cops doesn’t stop at their town line. An officer has authority state wide regardless of what town they work for.
Towns (especially small towns) still hold town meeting and utilize floor votes to make pretty big decisions. Town meeting day is the first Tuesday in March.
Not everything you need to know will necessarily be available online. Calling someone is often the only way to get information.
(Some) people will attempt to devalue your opinion because you’re not “from here”. This usually occurs when you’re right and they can’t otherwise back up their shitty stance on something. Try not to take it personally.
The communities (especially more rural) are close knit. Everyone knows everyone and knows their business. This is both a blessing and a curse.
Most folks are genuinely kind. We take care of each other here - even the folks who don’t have much are willing to show up for someone else who needs help.
We couldn’t be happier living here, I hope you like it too.

You can pass on a double yellow legally. You can't pass if there are no passing signs.
