Nope. I think costco employees are top-notch.

You're going skiing while your wife is in the hospital. Wow!

It's easy to volunteer in your community. Join the fire dept., or run for selectboard, or join the conservation commission, make yourself useful. If you live in a small town this is the best way to make friends and fit in. Most places are begging for participation.

Most ski areas have condo rentals.

Purple finch?

Always in the refrigerator. Always.

It's a whiteout

If you have to live near Killington your living options are very limited. Rutland is the biggest community. There are lots of tiny towns that might feel very isolated. As for racism I'm not sure.

Maybe it has something to do with what I call Reddit snark?

Tortorelle has a private room or a barn that could work. The setting is beautiful and the food very good.

I love the grey treefrog, especially when they are young. They are a beautiful bright green!

Well, Richford is not really in the Northeast Kibgdom. It's on the Canadian border in Franklin County. It's pretty close, 30-40 minutes, to St Albans where there is a hospital, shopping, a movie theater, etc. It is definitely not entirely isolated. I was there recently and it's pretty rundown. It's been economically disadvantaged for a while. Don't trust cell company or national broadband maps. I'd call the town office to see if there really is service where you are planning to move to.

This sounds fake. Do we even give tickets without stopping the driver? I know some states use radar and cameras, but do we?

Brattleboro is cool if you want to avoid skiers. To me Brattleboro feels like a little Burlington. Burlington is always an option.

Four beautiful seasons so it never gets boring.

Depends on where you are, somewhat. For 30+ years we have been very satisfied customers at the National Bank of Middlebury.

Boston is wicked easy to fly out of. Drive to New Hampshire, park your car, and take Boston Express to Logan

I call it placeism
