I wonder if Stegner has the balls to walk down Main Street in Newport in the daytime.

This bum still doesn’t think he did anything wrong. I remember him testifying that he signed all the papers that Quiros sent him because he trusted Quiros. Doesn’t sound much like a smart business man, does he? Prosecutors said he was the front man for the scheme. Since he feels innocent, I guess he’s like a bank robber who thinks he’s innocent because he only drove the getaway car.

You beat me to it.

Absolutely. Muck boots with fiber embedded in the neoprene lining so you can easily slip them on and off. They don’t have to be expensive. Maybe put in some foam insoles too. Only place I found them near Burlington was Tractor Supply.

Wait until Musk has a bunch of these spaced out to spell “TESLA.”

Yeah, I skip 89 or 189 and take the long, safer way around if I have to get to Williston or thereabouts. Some people are fukkin’ crazy.

“Waaaaah! They covered up the fraud and didn’t catch us soon enough! I only signed the false financial documents because Quiros told me to! Waaaah!”

Heh heh. I remember that.

Just find a policeman and ask him. These guys know where all the poker games are. If he seems reluctant to tell you because you’re a stranger, just keep loudly insisting until he gives in and tells you. Easy peasy!

Was it painted on velvet?

Well. We have 122 acres in Franklin County. It’s fairly isolated. 95 acres are forested and we only post a 15 acre wood lot and the signs are ripped down almost as fast as we replace them. We’ve had game cameras vandalized/stolen. In the past few years in walking through we found 3 unmarked deer stands along with a total of two construction bags worth of trash, bottles, and cans we toted out. Sometimes I stop snowmobiles racing around in the hayfield. Last year I stopped some guys who cut down maples on the edge of the property. They had already cut and loaded their truck. Don’t even ask me about the trash people have dumped. It’s freaking discouraging.

I went through the same thing you did and even waited on hold for 1/2 hour to talk to a human being. And when my turn came I was automatically switched to the general voice mailbox. My call was returned TWO DAYS later. Of course by that time I had already been to the ER at a nearby hospital. My PCP or the nurse or anybody at the health center cannot be reached directly by phone and there’s no guarantee a voice message will be returned in a timely manner. It’s exasperating. And I blame it on the health center administration.

So others can talk about the flu and Covid and RSV and pity the poor health center folks but they only seem to be good for a 15 minute yearly checkup.

It’s kind of a self-own.

Great picture!!!

On Rte 2 not too far from the bridge to Rouse’s Point. The Welcome center is right near the aptly named Missile Base Road.

Gorgeous photo!!!
