You have to go to the failing farmland parts of VT. Way up north and east of Burlington.
There are lots of small towns with nothing but a dollar store or a 45 minute drive to a Walmart. It’s weird because half the places have those American/canadian friendship flags and the other half have confederate flags.
I thought that when I got started, but I really enjoy the building and briefly enjoy the results. Then I’m happy for the owner to take it away while I cross my fingers that it all keeps working.
It’s equal parts problem solving, fine motor skills, and perseverance that keep me working on old cars. That’s why I’m not at a dealership or quick turnaround repair place.
It’s also why I’m poor
We were getting on a flight to leave Boston that afternoon. It was a little weird in the airport, but the full situation hadn’t set in yet.
Ironically the flight home from LA a week later was more stressful, as there had been the manhunt and nighttime capture of them at that point.
My brother was house sitting for us just a couple miles from MIT and had to be locked down, but it wasn’t the direction they went after the security guard incident. I think they ended up in Watertown if memory serves.
I’ve been thinking of setting up a node at my local ski area, both for others to use, but also to make custom timing equipment that can send start and finish messages to the timing computer and keep us from having to haul wires up icy race courses all winter.
I’ve never actually set one up or used one yet though, so it’s probably a few years off.
Real Boston pizza (chain) was Papa Gino’s anyway.
Still not as bad as NH though!
So you’re saying it’s not going to get better for me next year either?

Walmart could win that war simply by closing all of its stores in and around Alabama.
I clearly remember it, I think you might be my little brother’s age.
365.25*10 would at least get you closer.
Ruby should add 10.years.ago.today
Haven’t seen an open Dairy Queen locally in almost 10 years.
Pretty similar to coastal Maine too. Reading the headline immediately made me wonder if New England is preparing at all. They’ve been having brush fires the last few summers, along with air alerts from the Canadian smoke.

We were just in Vermont and Burlington had a lot of no-mow zones and lots of butterfly gardens in the areas we biked.
We saw a lot of monarchs earlier (seemed more than previous years) in the summer too, but it got super dry and we haven’t seen as many lately. And also our observations are purely anecdotal and unscientific.

There were “shadow bands” that looked like wavy ripples starting around then too, and for a few seconds afterward too.
But OP’s point about non-totally is pretty accurate. It’s a little chilly, a bit like overcast, and you can’t look at it without eye protection until totality.
When we were at the 2017 eclipse it was warmer and we watch the bugs come out and birds roost/land on the nearby lake.
I was working with the education division about a decade and a bit ago when they had an open source platform with sensors and motors. Then iRobot abruptly killed that division too, right as our project was getting going.
I haven’t felt good about that company since.
