Just realized that I forgot to talk about the elections yesterday.  i don’t mean the national elections… About them, I wasn’t too happy.. nor was I surprised about the elections. I thought Bernie did pretty well.. and hope he sticks with it..

what I’m talking about is our local town meeting..it’s a disticly vermont tradition.. everyone stops what they’re doing on the fish tuesday of march and goes to their town school. church or grange and walks through the town budget, votes on bills, airs their grievances and thanks their public officials.  I’ve been going for 34 years.. and it still brings me a great since of  belonging. I couldn’t stay much yesterday.. but I was there long enough to see a few old friends.. in fact most of the folks there were getting a but older. I heard a little controversy.. a little agreement. and left feeling very good about democracy in our small corner of the world.

thanks to the selctboard and town members for keeping this tradition going.. its what made this country greta.t..

or at least what makes our little town great !

nite all, nite sam
