I know the difference. Note that I didn’t say made in my title… it’s not “Vermont”.

Oh, so you're saying that I should have bought it?

That's a great one! :) It's especially good in the flat NPR voice...

You mean those people that sell furniture on the internet, and have electric bicycles? Not all Amish are as you describe them.

Based on your profile you’re old enough to vote, so why aren’t you a voter?

Yeah, 27.5% of my district voted for him -- the crazy is here too. There are two rather aggressive Trump houses that I have to pass whenever I leave my neighborhood, one of which has the full on profanity and middle finger symbols -- I don't understand these people -- when did it become OK to fly flags with profanity?

And for some insane reason, he's currently at 29.26% -- so, that means that if these people were evenly distributed around the state (which we know they're not, but go with it...) and you voted for Welch, then one of your neighbors probably voted for him.

I saw the purple outside of the window this morning, it caught my attention, but I was too lazy to get up and actually look.

Labor laws here are not very worker friendly.

I work remotely for a CA company, and my coworkers benefit from a lot of protections that I don’t.

In CA, PTO is not use it or lose it — it’s considered pay, and companies have to pay out any accrued PTO if you quite, are laid off, or fired. In CA, companies are not allowed to require you to agree to a non-compete agreement, you can leave and go work for a similar company w/o fear of being sued by your ex-employer. I’m guessing that there are others, but I’d love to see a few of these worker protections to be adopted here too.

Damn... mine went straight into the recycle bin -- great idea, I should have kept it.

At first I thought Williston/South Burlington… didn’t notice that I was wrong until I zoomed in!

I used to have a 2015 Impreza hatch (same car as the Crosstrek, w/o the off-road aesthetic body cladding and a bit closer to the ground), and a 2015 Forester at the same time. The Impreza did not impress me at all, even though it was a much higher trim level. When it came time to cut back and sell one of our vehicles it was the Impreza that we said goodbye to and kept the Forester — we love our Forester.

What makes the sunsets so awesome here? They seem to be more colorful than other places that I've been.
