I think one thing that makes it worse/ more noticeable here is the topography of the roads. When you’re encountering an oncoming car that goes into a dip and then crests on the peak of the hill you’re on, it’s a real shock to the system with these new bright-ass LEDs. Same with sharp turns! Might also make people less likely to actually turn off their high beams because they aren’t being cognizant of when they’ll actually be in close proximity to another car (renders the auto feature practically useless).

I’m a chronic migraineur and avoid driving at night because they trigger attacks and also just totally fuck with my neurological system. It’s hard to explain what it’s like unless you live it. I rue the day that LED became standard- in my opinion they also aren’t much of an improvement when driving because the harsh line of delineation of the area that light covers makes it really hard for me to make things out compared to the more soft focus of halogen lights.

Once I was going for a walk along a road in Richmond and saw a stoat poke it’s little head up in the hollowed knot of a tree. It was such a perfectly posed scene, like a little animatronic. Could hardly believe my eyes!

We just moved to Midd and haven’t been yet but everyone raves about it! Decent sized mountain for decent prices, still have the ability to do rentals/ get tuned on the spot… looks particular great for beginners with the magic carpet and reasonable terrain. I hear they got a top-notch snow maker so /!should be maintained well. Plus it’s 20 mins from my house so can’t beat that 😗

Howdy, neighbor! Agreed, not only have I been pretty successful finding care in the Middlebury area but it has been excellent. This town is great for having all the essentials covered with Burlington in close distance for anything else. We didn’t have our sights set on this area when we first landed in VT but ended up here after a year and love it!

If you’ll have a way to heat water, move your gecko into a smaller, well insulated container with hot water bottles. Better to have heat than worry about light for a short period!

Reply to Best/fave Coffee roasters near Burlington/sugarbush by Tezzzzzzi
I quite like Uncommon Coffee in Essex Junction, the Sundown Decaf Blend is SOOO good. Brio is also fantastic. Vermont Coffee Company has been disappointing so I'd skip that one.
