Things you should not see in Vermont in the winter


This is WRONG. All of that green and yellow (rain) should be blue and white (snow). Why is Ullr somad at us? Why are you being so stingy and mean? We've had our January thaws before, but all this rain is REALLY driving some of us over the edge. I haven't been snowboarding in like two weeks now because there's no snow. The dogs have found all the frisbees and yard toys they lost in the end of November because all - yes ALL -- of the snow pack has melted. Hell, we're not even having an icing problem because NOTHING is frozen. Just rain. Wet, depressing, soggy freakin' rain.

A Leader and Inspiration for All



In his words:
"When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

In the words of U2, from the song MLK"

Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realised.
If the thunder cloud passes rain
So let it rain, rain down on he.
So let it be.
So let it be.

Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realised.
If the thunder cloud passes rain
So let it rain, let it rain
Rain down on he.
