Future Grandkid in 2077: What did you accomplish with those months of solitude during the pandemic?

Me going to the attic for a crinkled and yellowed newspaper clipping in the old trunk:

Thanks @sevendaysvt 🙌

Highly recommend the rope tow at Cochrans. It is a rush.

Teaching in a phone-free school has been better than I imagined. Students have more sustained focused, produce higher quality work, make genuine connections with peers, and power struggles greatly reduced when phones, “aren’t a thing we do in school”. #vted

[Governor Kelly Ayotte @KellyAyotte]

Today, I am also announcing that we will be taking action to ban cell phones in our schools.

Screens are negatively impacting our learning environments, drawing students' attention away from their classes, and becoming a barrier for teachers to do their jobs — no more.

Got a bonus snow day off to start on my new year goal of making more prints.

The Mad River during normal water levels vs today at 1:00 pm. #vt

[Philip Stetson @prstets]

32% of vehicles in #vt are 4 wheel-dive and the remaining 68% had to get pulled out of the lot at Addison County Field Days.

A number of years ago @NASEMTRB funded a #drone training program in #Vermont. Yesterday, the core participants in that training pulled off the largest interagency drone operation in the state. Way to go @uvmvermont @AOTVermont @VTStatePolice #VTflood23

The last time the water was as high as it is now in Montpelier, the images were black and white and looked like this. These were from the #flood of 1927. Very few people alive today have seen a worse flood in Vermont's capital. #VTwx

Flooding in Waterbury #VT tonight captured by Nicholas Erwin
The Winooski River level there is about 4 feet lower than Irene's crest. It's still rising a bit, but is nearing crest within a couple hours.

How might major flooding events affect pollution and phosphorus levels in Lake Champlain? #vtpoli #VTflood23

[Philip Stetson @prstets]

Calvin Coolidge would visit Bennington as President the following year. “I love #vt because of her hills and valleys, her scenery and invigorating climate, but most of all because of her indomitable people…the people of this brave little state of Vermont.”

[Philip Stetson @prstets]

flood history: The 1927 #VT flood destroyed 1285 bridges, and killed 84 people including S. Hollister Jackson, VT’s Lt Gov. The damage and limited town resources resulted in state government taking a more active role in building and maintaining our state’s roads and bridges.

Woods are great but so too the old cemeteries. This one full of great old slate.
