Clathrate Gun Hypothesis.

To flood their alfalfa field. After sending some of his buddies over to threaten their lives.

He resigned last week to avoid testifying about union busting tactics AFAIK

Your BIL needs to read “Divorce in Vermont” updated edition, by Nicholas Hayden and Cynthia Broadfoot. There are a lot of quirky laws in this state, and this book covers them - but won’t replace a lawyer, if needed. Having to meet his ex’s boyfriend isn’t one of them, however.

I know the owner started their signage beef as the construction started a while ago, but was wondering if there was more to it.

The one in Orwell has copies of the Orwell currency, but not sure if that predated the Great Depression.

Life with chestnut trees cannot be understated. They were an important food source for animals and humans, not to mention their utility for building.

PBS had a cool series of documentaries about VT, called “Vermont Memories”. I can’t find a link to it online, but maybe you’ll have better luck.

Yes. Everyone here is well aquatinted with where they can hunt. But ultimately for me, while I was on 70 acres, I could hear the gunfire elsewhere and for me alone it was a problem. I’m now in a condo but have a protected 95 acre public back yard. With trails and loads of wildlife. Heaven for me.

ETA My horses and dogs were also freaked out by the gunfire, so not just me. I absolutely love Vermont but for this one thing, and the happy median I found was where I am now.

I’m straight but both of my kids are exploring who they are. The communities and schools here are super inclusive. There are some redder areas that will be less friendly - but even in those, if one of you are able to join the volunteer fire/ems service it will go a long way to build respect even with the silly trumpers/don’t tread on me crowd.

Something I was not prepared for here was the hunting. My problem, for sure, but hearing gunfire almost every day when I lived in the sticks was traumatic for me. I’m much happier now in a little town, and ironically my kids love it as they can walk about and have fun with their buddies.

Bit of a drive, but Middlebury. Nice college town with walkable downtown, international baccalaureate middle and high school, fantastic amenities for kids all within walking distance (ice rink, pool, rec center, music center, movie theater, restaurants, library, hospital etc.). Close to snow bowl, loads of hikes. Tight and expensive market, but much better ROI in respect to kids than many other towns.

That would be a good incentive for recruits.

Ditto. When Kenny was on your side he was a gem of a person.

Thanks. Where are they?

Thanks

Thanks. I’ll check them out.

Cool. Thanks

It’s answers like yours that make Reddit great. Thanks so much!

Seriously. I was driving down route 30 yesterday and there were countless people on the ice of Lake Hortonia and Bomoseen. It was 44 degrees!!! And some were out there with kids. ☹️

Just went outside and this temp fluctuation is absolutely eerie.

Teacher I worked with (as their para) had two side jobs despite having a master’s and going for her phd. The salaries here are awful.

When I was considering building, I looked into this company - Huntington Homes. They’re well designed modular construction, which could shave off some cost/time. I particularly liked that their roofs come pre-wired for solar. https://huntingtonhomesvt.com
