Damage? I’ve not been up that way in a bit, what damage?

It seems that the most likely bad incident would be a case of misidentification, which already happens, no? It’s definitely something I think of often as an avid forager of edibles.

I guess if a dispensary sold some mid-identified mushrooms that would give them just the justification they’d be looking for to crack down.

That last disclaimer about “NO TRUCK” seems a bit pointless….

Not true, the driveway was wet when I got up, so apparently we got some rain that melted some of our snow.

No, I don’t.

Not sure that my Subaru Forester could manage that. :) haha

It’s obviously not the notch, I get that — it was meant as a joke…

EDIT: The comment I responded to merely said “Nope” when I first commented.

You have a great point.

Possibly, but it was literally every car that I could make out the plate on for about 10 minutes before I reached the VT border.

Because I was crossing the river, as expected, at around the same time, combined with a history of it being extremely actuate.

Explains all of the VT plates before the announcement?

Yep. My GPS announced “Welcome to Vermont” when I did. :)

I know we’re a desirable bunch, but are we getting that lucky?

Interesting idea, but it was both sides of the road.

I found this interesting article that seems to explain it. Taxes, registration costs, etc. I sure hope that guy wasn’t peeping in my window and taking notes while I was there last week. :)

The number of bugs in my house that swarm my front door, create huge writhing masses on my windowsills at night, and fill my house every time I open any door was the biggest surprise when moving to VT. I bought two Katchy traps to keep them under control.

I’d settle for a few more exits so that if you miss your turn, not paying attention, it doesn’t cost you 1/2 hour!

Oh, and one at the point where I have to cross over the highway every time to go miles around to get back to the highway.

I’ve never seen a DOT approved light bar, they all say for off road use only on the box.

It’s a combination of obsolete safety standards that require a stupid beam pattern and ever brighter lights. Cars sold in Europe have far better lights for both driver and oncoming drivers, but when sold in the US they have to put in entirely different reflectors.

Not sure about the Outback, but I built a campervan, and with the full time load I needed to adjust them down and it was super easy, took about 15 minutes.

I have a plan — let’s all put our summer tires back on, next day we’ll have multiple feet of snow!

I had no beads to share, was only there for a few hours with coworkers after the conference I was attending. :)

Some people were throwing him beads, though.
