White's Beach on Lake Champlain has frozen over (comparison photo is from September)
Note: White's Beach was named after the White Family.
The town recently considered changing the name
so it wouldn't sound exclusive.
They decided to honour the town's good forebears
and just be inclusive.

Last night I saw where a case of mumps has been recorded in southwestern Virginia, where my dad is from. Don't know how widespread this may be throughout Virginia, but it is bad news anyhow.

Gee whiz, Elon, d'ya think maybe you shouldn't have fired them all? :P
Federal workers who are fired allegedy for poor performance cannot receive unemployment benefits unless their claim is adjudicated. Most of the workers fired had great reviews; so Vermont is staffing up to quickly handle more adjudications! Yay, Vermont!
ReplyDeleteWill fired federal workers in Vt. be eligible for unemployment benefits?
I certainly hope they will be able to get copies of their performance reviews, and in a timely manner.

I imagine that coworkers still in place will help with that.
