PoliticsVt DEBLOGGING; BOWING OUT W/ SOLID POSTS
PoliticsVt, one of the more responsible members of the online pol community here in Vermont, will be blasting out of the blogosphere sooner than later, leaving us with a recent string of strong posts.
Here are some articles worthy of mention.

Jan 2 - The Rumor Mill: Is Douglas Ready For New Things?
It's a great piece for the local political junkies among us.

Dec 27 - The Passing of a President: Gerald Ford
PoliticsVt cherishes the memory of President Ford.

Bravo, PoliticsVt. Thanks for the good work.

FIVE CORNERS UPDATE
Brought my clean laundry to the Essex Junction Five Corners light yesterday and had a folding party. I threw on the CD, VERMONT SONGS, with Marty Morrissey and Robert Resnick, opened the Fritos and proceeded the fold and organize 26 loads of clothes. The light turned green just as I finished finding the mate to that last pesky sock. It was perfect!
