General Discussion / Low/No Town Water Pressure

Anyone else in the vicinity of the Rt 104 and Buck Hollow intersection having water pressure problems?  We are down to a trickle.  Thinking of calling Randy Devine tomorrow (Sunday).  Any suggestions?

Congrats team and Coach Griffin!  From what I have heard, Fred is quite an inspirational and valuable leader to the boys on the team.

Current News & Events / Re: Good News - Summer Is Not Over With Yet

No, I do not care for this weather either.  Growing up in Florida and having lived more recently in Virginia, I relish the cooler climate of Vermont.  Not really a hot summer person, I guess.  Just counting the days until Saturday and dealing with it for now.   I think the weather/guilt thing must be a northern phenomenon.  Had no such talk that I recall while growing up in Florida.

How about this angle?  Do you feel guilty about enjoying the warmer/hotter weather since it is "normally" not this hot in Vermont, on average, allegedly due to the effects of climate change, global warming, etc.  Just curious.

No, I was not locked up as a teen and I did have plenty of fun at other people's expense in my youth.  But, I paid for those mistakes and I was held accountable.  All a part of growing up.  I learned my lessons.  This incident was all in good fun, no one was hurt and no one's private property was damaged, unlike some of my past incidents.   Not a big deal.   Rubber fades.   Just an eyesore.  After a harsh Vermont winter, I'm sure the burn marks and "controversy" will be just a memory.   If I lived in Trenton, NJ or Lansing, MI, I wouldn't think anything of it.  Burn marks and graffiti are commonplace and part of the landscape.  I was actually amazed at how long the burn marks were.  Kudos to the driver(s) for maintaining control for such a long stretch.  I'm sure it drew quite a positive reaction at the party.  Again, not trying to be a party pooper or take away from the celebration.  But, it was a knucklehead thing to do and does step on people's toes in the "neighborhood". 

I am glad we do have the forum to talk about "trivial" and "annoying" topics  such as this.    If I was in attendance at the reception party or I lived on the other side of town, I wouldn't have even posted my original post.  Obviously pressed some buttons.   There are certainly more pressing problems to address around the local community and much more serious acts of vandalism, such as the recent break-in of the Fairfax Historical Society building. I stand by my statement that this was "vandalism" on public property.  A minor act of vandalism, but vandalism none-the-less.  No witch hunt, posse round-up or police investigation warranted.

Congrats to the new couple!

Not to put a damper on the celebration, but, what happened to that stretch of Buck Hollow road in front of the house?  It looks awful.   Like graphite, this should qualify as vandalism.   As if the graffiti around town this past year wasn't enough.  I look forward  to it snowing this winter so I don't have to look at it every day.

Well I ended up getting 3rd place (2nd prize) in the contest in my category.  No trip to the Super Bowl but I did win a nice Canon camera, a photo printer and a hefty gift certificate to the NFL Hall of Fame Museum store.  Will definitely be a nice upgrade on my camera.  Thanks for the extra votes!
