Primaries Today

🌟Starting this year, Vermont residents can register to vote at their polling station on the day of the election.🌟

Today I will be working at the polls and helping to reconcile the checklist at the end of the night.

The media keep mentioning Ethan Sonneborn, who is our 14 year old candidate for Governor.  Funny that they haven't mentioned the Democrats have also got a candidate who is transgender.  Christine Hallquist used to work with Wil, years ago, when her name was Dave.  Having heard all the candidates, I actually agree most often with Ethan Sonneborn!  He has held his own in the debates and just might have my vote.

So, I took this photo, in my kitchen, for your appreciation: 

As you can see, it is good, thick bacon, fairly lean and very healthy.  We buy it at the market two miles from our house.   But there's more.  During the aftermath of Hurricane Irene (7 years ago this month), when the southern part of Vermont was devastated, Root*Center*Son was growing lots and lots of veggies for the food shelfs.  He had enough that he was able to send some to the towns that had lost everything.  But how to get it there?  Black River Produce stepped in.  They offered to bring the veggies to the towns, for free, in their trucks that were traveling the state anyway with Black River Produce.  (They don't just offer meats.)  Think of that.  They sell produce, but were transporting free produce.  Good people.
