I’m not sure what today will bring, but yesterday was a mixed experience. The skiing was fairly nice, even though the morning started with the thermostat reading -8.
The trip to the slopes was the bad part. I’m driving in a convoy of cars through a small Vermont town, going as fast as the car in front of me and the car behind me. But I made a big mistake. I had out-of-state plates on my car, so the local bureaucrat with a gun pulls me over for going 38 in a 25.
And people wonder why I don’t feel warm and fuzzy about government.

Was this in Mendon or Wallingford, Vermont, by chance? And was the Townie in question named Nelson Tift? (grin)
