how's the weather where you are?
 

because it's f'ing SNOWING here in VT :mad: :mad:

Truthfully, I don't know how you people do it! It is a fact of life that you live in VT and I live in Cali, but nature is good out here. Mountains,beaches,parks, the desert....and of course....the traffic! FIREPLACES are NEAT though,huh?:)

a fireplace is a great thing...in January...not something you want to have to use in october...
it snows every year in oct or sept. but still always catches me off guard.

I graduated form UVM. I live in Essex just outside Burl. you are right it IS one of the most beautiful places in the US....but the weather sucks...I had no power last night b'cause the snow took down a tree which took down a power line :mad:

here in santa clarita california ( 25 miles north of l.a ) it will be about 85 to 88
santa anita should be the usuall lightning fast and rock hard turf.

my Aunt went to VT and said it was really beautiful
but a buddy of mine went and said it was pretty bland
so I don't know who to believe
U of VT is supposed to be one of the most liberal of universities
don't they have a night where everybody gets naked
and runs like a mile or a 10K in the buff?
what is UVM is that different than U of VT?

uvm is u of vt...they just use the Latin... universitas verdis montis....
the naked run has been discontinued as have most of the activities that once made it a party school...still super liberal though.

then I have to ask...paisjpq or Dixie
did you ever participate in said run?
LOL!

hotel VT is now high end condos...
Mary fletcher hosp. Is now Fletcher Allen hosp....it has recently undergone massive renovations and I avoid it like the plague (traffic issues).
Same with winooski...you wouldn't recognize it.

I didn't live in Redstone...I stayed off-campus...but I had friends who did...still fun...if you can stand the smell of patchulli (sp?)

My parents used to take my brothers and I camping @ Dunmore...great memories...
Skiied primarily @ smugg's and sugarbush until I blew me knee...quit after that....plus I can only afford one expensive hobby and my horse wins that one:)

no sir...BUT last fall I was having dinner @ one of the outdoor cafe's on Church street (our pedestrian mall) when about a dozen naked people ran up the street as part of a fraternity prank...you just never know in a college town

don't know if your initials are there but I'm pretty sure mine are:D

Beth seems like the stack the wood kind of woman. Love a fireplace.
