After historic floods swept through Vermont last week, volunteers swarmed the capital city to help clean up. In a neighborhood a few miles away was a more somber undertaking.

A three-day dispatch, from a mobile home park devastated by flooding:

In recent months, Seven Days reporters spoke with recent arrivals from Afghanistan as they navigated the language and rituals of this country. They are a varied lot, representing Afghanistan's distinct regions, ethnic roots and social classes https://t.co/YMDW8KXa9G

This is where Terry McLaurin was when Jayden Daniels threw that ball. What a game!!

[Grant Paulsen @GrantPaulsen]

This throw. Taking an absolute shot. To put the game on ice. Big boy stuff.

[Grant Paulsen @GrantPaulsen]

Jayden Daniels called game.

What a masterful outing by Daniels, Kingsbury and the Washington offense.

Just an incredible performance by the rookie. On the road. In prime time.

[Grant Paulsen @GrantPaulsen]

Jayden Daniels just got obliterated in the pocket on a deep shot to Terry McLaurin in the back of the end zone.

Amazing catch. Better throw. Ball game. Night night.

Daniels coming out party. 21/23, 254 yards, 2 TDs.

Oh my god.

Daniels dime. He called game.

A fascinating story in the @wweek about a burial mix-up at an Oregon cemetery.

I wrote about an almost identical case here in VT last month:

In a joint statement, Burlington Police and Burlington School District blame Wednesday's mock shooting incident on a "breakdown in communication" and say they held a "restorative circle" with the impacted students today.

How, exactly, communication broke down remains a mystery.

[Courtney Lamdin @clamdin]

Burlington police terrified high school students this week when they staged a mock shooting in an attempt to teach them about the unreliability of witness statements. My latest, with @CFlandersVT

This is wrong, @MyNBC5. Overdose deaths fell slightly *year-over-year* for the first time since 2019. But last year's 231 deaths was still the second-highest total since the state began tracking this figure.

Alright, I'll bite ... what are the other two?

My latest scoop in @sevendaysvt: The mother of a 14-yr-old Black teen sues the City of #BTV, alleging excessive force by @OneNorthAvenue and racial bias by police and @btvfire. https://t.co/Rqz7fm6JdW

Find me a better one-two punch than these. (Also, “them’s some big potatoes” has to be a top five pick-up line)

@MarkBullockNFL Mark, apologies if you’ve already addressed this in your write-ups, but has anything jumped out to re: why he’s been less productive this season? Seeing a lot of talk on here about him not getting open vs. it being a scheme issue, but it’s hard to tell from the TV broadcasts.

@MarkBullockNFL Bless you for watching that trainwreck again so soon, Mark.

[Colin Flanders @CFlandersVT]

@benpkaufmann Many thanks, Ben.

[Ben Kaufmann @benpkaufmann]
