Pretty affordable full lobster prime rib special.

Have them but they aren't really easy on things. Especially when it's a quick trip to the mail box AND not when you're getting older. Thanks much.

The Mass and Vermont Governors usually can't actually stop the legislature. Knowing this, they must pick and choose their battles on things the left hasn't solidified on yet or stick to small critiques that can be easily rolled into a bill. This usually makes them very popular as a perceived moderating force. But, their power is limited because they can not be seen as anti democrat as most of their votes are coming from across the aisle.

Google is your friend

Would they or could you convince them to wear something like this?

big bucket of ice melt/calcium chloride? Eats away the ice, makes the area safer to walk

Thanks, that's an interesting idea. Will look into it.

One other possible option. Alaskan Awning. An small, angled awning of plexi-glass extending over the steps. Will work for a few steps keeping ice off.

Looks like a great idea until you price it out but I really appreciate the idea. I will see if I can persuade them. It's worth a try.

> We definitely don't have the crazy evangelical Republicans here that much of the country has.

In Orange County we had our own batshit crazy Republican run for the legislature (won't do the favor of naming him) who is a self-appointed pastor and thinks women aren't designed to enjoy sex as much as men (among other batshit crazy opinions)—equal to any Republican anywhere in the US.

It was a pretty good game.

Man I hate your name but I guess that’s on me for not setting better rules. I’ll PM you the code.

I wish I could convince them to try the tire tread. I know others that used these and they were a game changer. I looked up the heat mats. It's a maybe. My friend is also VERY frugal. Ggggrrrr

Interesting. Maybe you could also tell me the results of Scott’s proposed “lean management” plan?

Entrance to the Lamoille River from Lake Champlain in Milton. Park at the Milton side of the Sandbar Bridge.

I don’t think any degree of grip tape or treads will help very much when it gets iced over. My guess would be heat mats but that sounds expensive.

Anyway, nice job being a good neighbor!

I live just south of Springfield. I’ll take it if it’s still available.

The rest of the Republican Party in VT is just as batshit crazy as everywhere else. The chair of the VT Republican Party for example is a far right extremist in the same vein as Jewish Space Laser Lady or Floriderp Sex Trafficking Congressman.

HeatTrak. Low voltage rubber mats that can be attached to each step and they melt the snow/ice continuously. Not cheap. But very effective.

The end result was a balanced and fully financed budget. Regardless of how many negotiators and changes were made, Scott was clear that everything must be funded with no deficit spending.

Download the USFS motor vehicle use maps (MVUM). They will show everywhere you’re legally allowed to dispersed camp off the side of forest roads. There are a handful of established sites throughout the state (Bingo road, Somerset Airfield, etc), but I’ve always stayed away from them during peak season because they’re always slammed on nice weekends.

This is the most important comment in this thread. Phil Scott being a rare exception, I would strongly hesitate about republicans at the state level too, because of implications for party power.
