I look forward to "Indian Summer" every year, and I'm still pleasantly surprised every time it rolls around.

Agree, I just love it. Today was just great to be in the field. Too bad that the global warming alarmists will use our Indian Summers against us, despite the fact that they have been occurring probably since the dawn of man.

Yes, we have been having some picture perfect days this last week or so...today was gorgeous...

I visit Vermont at least once a year. It's a beautiful state and I love it. Just don't think I'd want to live there. (anymore)

As much as many of us may lament the passing of a really nice fall season, the change in landscape combined with the current storm moving in on us ushers in interesting images of the land around us. Not looking forward to the expense that winter brings, but do appreciate the change in scenery.

probably late on this, but in my opinion the single best reason to move to vt is the extremly low population and large areas of trees/mountains

I left Vermont in 1994 and have never looked back. Yeah, it's beautiful. Until your bills come due. I'll pass. North Carolina has been great for me. I do love going back, however. Aside from Connecticut it's probably the nicest state in the Union.

Humorlessness goes both ways, especially if you have ever been to NYC or Boston. Flatlanders come to VT and think they can change things just because they are from the city and believe that are intellectually and culturally superior to native Vermonts and actually(as I have posted before)superior to all people they deem educationally, economically, intellectually subordinate.

it is funny, that this person talked about outdoor plumbing. The environmentalist left wants you to believe there is a global warming or global cooling depending on the agenda they are pushing and so they want Enviro sensitive homes, cars, food, farming, energy, fuel etc. but the native vermonters when doing it are some kind of rube but a flatlander doing it is progressive and hip. great hypocrisy. I went to university with many of these types, Ivy Leaguer urban dwellers who thing they are better than the rest of the world. Talking about Bush, ha ha, these people make his policies look like playground stuff.

stand up for real vermonters, real new englanders, new yorkers outside the downstate city bubble--these are the people who not only put the food on our tables, they truck the food, the shelve the food, the pick the food, they break their backs so that the yuppies and the progressives can turn around and spit on them.

we have that all over the country by the way, and in every race of people. So we should reconsider who the racists really are--the hardworking native or the flatlander who cant look you in the eye but wants to tell you how you have to live.

You are so right, I love your post, couldn't be said any better.
However I plan on moving to New York very soon, but also want a place in Vermont. Can you believe that? A place in NYC and one in burlington? LOL.
Not many New Yorkers are like that actually, you will be surprised, my family is from New York. A lot of people are awake. However, it is more so the government, government heads, and the media down here which is exactly like that and pushes that agenda.

Vermont city is healthiest in U.S., CDC says - CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/11/17/healthiest.city.ap/index.html - broken link)

well it is a very rural state but also a liberal one at that, which is a sort of anamoly for america (while it shouldn't be an anamoly. )
