  1. There is a historic marker at Boyd Tavern and Montpelier, though sadly not Monticello or the University of Virginia yet. #Montpelier #BoydTavern #Virginia

  2. Aviation weather for Edward F Knapp State airport in Barre and Montpelier area (USA) is “KMPV 111429Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM BKN011 24/19 A3007 RMK AO2 T02390194” : See what it means on bigorre.org/aero/meteo/kmpv/en #barre #montpelier #usa #edwardfknappstateairport #kmpv #mpv #metar #aviation #aviationweather #avgeek #airport vl

  3. Reading about James Madison's #Montpelier plantation and how it operated, I am struck by the hardships of the people forced to work there, but also it sounds like the food was really excellent. I imagine Lafayette found this a strange combination when he visited.

  4. Back on Track

    We’ve been home for about five hours now. Here’s the summary of the drive there and back:

    That’s a nice chunk of driving. 397.6 miles in seven hours and 25 minutes. Nice.

    UMass Lowell beat the University of Vermont 3-0 in what was a pretty boring game. Lowell’s second goal was a thing of beauty. It was a two on one break away and the shooter roofed it over the goalie’s left shoulder. Perfect. Lowell’s third goal was a little painful for the Vermont fans. A one on two that should probably have been more like a dump and chase but Lowell’s forechecker just put it on net and poof, goal. Nice.

    Before the game we met with the kids, including Harry’s girlfriend, for dinner and had a really nice time. Jen wasn’t feeling well by the end of it though so she stayed at the hotel during the game. That made us all sad. We missed her. After the game we all went back to the hotel and were able to spend some time hanging out with Jen, who was feeling a little better. That made up for missing the game.

    Since coming home I’ve just been trying to recover from all of the driving. I did manage to run some errands and do a little around the house. I made lunch and I am going to make dinner too. First though, I have to do my morning exercise that I couldn’t do in the car today. I’s 4:20pm. Let’s make believe that it’s 5:20am and get it done.

  5. Montpelier, VT

    On the drive home from visiting the kids in Burlington, VT we stopped in the state capital, Montpelier. We were looking for a breakfast place. Yelp said it was open. Reality said it was closed. We were sad, but we did drive right past the capital building which was nice.

  6. Episode one gives us an intimate and surprisingly profane focus on the experience in #montpelier #vermont as beloved community icons and individual families are hit with destructive new flooding that was not an issue before. This is new. #climateadaptation #resiliency #preservation

  7. #Vermont becomes 1st state to enact law requiring #OilCompanies pay for damage from #ClimateChange

    "Last July’s flooding from torrential rains inundated Vermont’s capital city of #Montpelier, the nearby city #Barre, some southern Vermont communities and ripped through homes and washed away roads around the rural state. Some saw it as the state’s worst natural disaster since a 1927 flood that killed dozens of people and caused widespread destruction. It took months for businesses — from restaurants to shops — to rebuild, losing out on their summer and even fall seasons. Several have just recently reopened while scores of homeowners were left with flood-ravaged homes heading into the cold season."

  8. Save the date. March 2nd, 2024 at noon. Don't let them fool you. The average American is closer to being unhoused than they are to being a millionaire. Fighting poverty is literally a matter of our own survival.

  9. The lumberyard next to the co-op in #Montpelier #Vermont.

    I am very worried that we won't have a co-op tomorrow.

  10. Power went out in #Montpelier #Vermont. Then we heard sirens, and now the sky is lit up red. Yikes. Heading out to see what's up and get some dinner in the Barre

  11. Damn it, Mad Taco just reopened last week after repairing from the flood, and now they've had a fire.

    Between the pandemic, flood, and now fire, I'm starting to wonder if we'll ever have a proper food scene in #Montpelier again.

  12. This morning I got to spend time along a new part of the Winooski River. Here’s the North Branch as it flows into Montpelier, #Vermont. A very lovely scene to chat with a colleague about floods, stormwater and water quality and think about both the challenges and possibilities in the Lake Champlain basin. #52LakeChamplain #Montpelier #Winooski #river #floodplain #spring

    Nous savons également que du lobbying se fait sur #Brest #Lannion et #Montpelier

    Il est grand temps d'agir collectivement et fédéré⋅e⋅s pour ne pas laisser cette colonisation arriver !
