Sunday in Vermont (even though it’s now Wednesday)

As I write this, I have no idea when I will get close to an internet connection. I last posted from Long Trail Brewery, in Bridgewater Corners, Vermont. It was a bit hectic, and I had already fallen somewhat under the influence of their delightful brews. (Try the sampler, if you ever make it to the brewery).

It’s now Sunday evening, or at least it was Sunday as the keys were pressed when this was written. I don’t know when it will be posted. When I got up this morning the sky was blue and I got into my kayak as the mist, which is always thick in the morning, had mostly risen off the lake. This picture, taken from the kayak, illustrates the perfect stillness at that point in the morning.

You can rotate it 180 degrees and it almost looks the same.

And here’s a picture that illustrates the way the tourists are played to perfection here in the Green Mountain State.

This is Singleton’s Market in Proctorsville, Vermont. You can, in fact, purchase Whiskey, Guns and Ammo (sounds like the title of a Warren Zevon song, doesn’t it) at Singleton’s. You can also purchase $50.00 bottles of port or wine, sundry types of infused balsamic vinegars, marinated meats and other gourmet treats. Singleton’s knows its customer base.

We actually went because the little boy in our company was looking for a slingshot. Singleton’s sells a pro model for $12.95. He eventually opted for a different model from the Vermont Country Store, a decision that soon proved unwise, as it fell apart almost immediately. I got a wool jacket, made right here in Vermont at the Johnson’s Mills.
