I've been taking a holiday break from new news, so I don't really know.

Its kind of a tradition--began when Ethan Allen threatened to join the Brits if Vermont wasn't given due respect. Since then its been brought up any number of times. Recently a town tried to seceede from the state and join New Hampshire over the issue of the state income tax.

peace and love,
Paper Turtle

I remember my first extended visit to Vermont. I thought it was over stated.
.
My son-in-law was in Medical School at the University of Vermont. Late one afternoon, we drove up to Montreal through the bogs. When we got to the big city, we parked on a hill and walked the main shopping district. In one shop, my wife asked one of the clerks if she spoke English and she said, "No more than I absolutely have to." hah ha ha. Good one! Needless to say, we went to the next shop. It was strange being in a foreign country like that. When we go into Windsor or Sarnia just outside of Michigan, the only difference is the highway markers and the way they pronounce the word, schedule.
.
But, the landscape is beautiful in Vermont and and my ancestral roots are there; so, what can I possibly say?
.
I'll hope to go back there for a visit before I check out.

well, in my totally objective oponion, its as close to paradise as you can get. I've lived in Florida and Colorado, visited every single state on the eastern sea coast, driven through the UP of Michigan, andalso spent time in Minnesota and Idaho. I wouldn't live any place else.

I hope you do make it here for a visit. I'd love to meet you. I can show you some sights which don't get listed in the tourist brochures. And if you're willing to venture into the boonies where I live, I'll fix you and the Mrs one of my gourmet home-cooked meals.

love and peace,
Paper Turtle
