As you wrote: "climate change is real", and that is what you are experiencing.

Great walking up there regardless whether one is on the Norwich U or Northfield town lands - any time of year too!

Vermont is not unique. We are a state populated by the members of the same human race that populates Montana, Texas or anywhere else.

To stay on your point: Vermont is much smaller then Montana and much closer to major urban areas such as Boston, New York and Montreal. We are much more susceptible to what you described as having happened to Montana's housing market; and we are having a huge issue with too much money buying up places that people need to live in.

I hope it works out for you folks wherever you end up.

Yo this aint Facebook, we don't need to read how your disapproval rates regarding other people's posts you really don't give a crap about.

We've missed a day here and there down here in Williamstown. All due, it appears, to not being able to hire enough staff and then folks getting sick.

Vermont has been very good to me and my family. I came up here after leaving the military in 1981 and never doubted this is where I belong.

Having said that, Vermont is populated by humans. There is nothing uniquely Vermont about Vermonters other then the fact we're from the state of Vermont.

What's important to you?

I think as you're here in Vermont, you're going to be able to find quality Maple sugar products pretty much anywhere you go - ask locally first. I'm more comfortable shipping the plastic jugs - if people don't like those containers, they can always pour the syrup off into something more acceptable (in my home we regularly use a glass decanter that we fill as needed from the gallon jug).

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".
