Thanks for the sentiment Phil. I'm a 31 year resident (and unabashed state
booster) who's had more than a few opportunities to move elsewhere over the
years. Each time it didn't take long to get hold of my senses, look around,
and ask "Just why exactly would I do such a dumb thing?"
So yes, come on up
folks. See you this weekend.

There is nothing
in Vermont that is more scenic than the best of Minnesota.
The difference is
that here in Minnesota we have to go looking for it. In Vermont, it's
everywhere. The freeway from Brattleboro to Burlington is gorgeous. Whatever
route you find open should be just fine.
>From the bridges of Bennington to
the view across the lake to the Split Rock Light to the marina in Brattleboro,
I enjoyed all I saw in your state in my two brief (and too-brief) visits
there. It was like being nostlgic for a place I'd never been. I never got to
Stowe, but I'm sure it won't dissapoint.
So to the rest of you: If you
have never been to Vermont, go. And what better time than for the Invasion?
