A small post to lift your spirits.

On the way to a doctor's appointment today, I went through a busy intersection in a southern Vermont town and on all of the corners there were protesters with signs against Trump and the war. My favorite was a giant sign that read "Trump Is a Pedophile." Sorry, no photo since I was driving.

... I share your pride and undying respect for those who brave the cold to bring a message that the M$M is too cowardly to show.

I still consider myself a Vermonter, though, and do most of my business in Vermont.

... I get it. I'm gonna hop over to West Leb today to get a new coffee maker. Keurigs aren't the quality product they used to be!
I'm not a born-and-bred, but I got here as fast as I could. Been here 49 years, and they'll plant my shriveled old butt here, but not just yet.
Have a great day, Vinca! Love the plant that shares your name, by the way!

The tRump flags have greatly dwindled.
Still so many who state they don't follow politics- I'll reply with,
You better start!

I have seen a shift away from the right.

Mud season being the 5th. But some say we only have 2 seasons – winter and July!
There was a time when Vermont was full of rock-ribbed Republicans, but they were a different breed from what we have to deal with today; they had some honor.
Good luck tip-toeing around the Red Hats!
