More on Vermont and flooding


Even with the massive flooding native Vermonters' wry humor was expressed in a local newspaper. Other Vermont humor well describes driving in the state of forested rolling hills which are breath-takingly beautiful in October.
Despite the long winters, there are numerous fruit and vegetable stands during late summer and fall with huge tomatoes, blueberries, cucumbers, corn….

Note the Vermonters' descriptions:
1. Your idea of a traffic jam is 10 cars waiting to pass a logging truck .
2. You measure distance in hours.
3. You know all 4 seasons; almost winter, winter, still winter and construction.
