America, gently caress Yeah! Only possible because of federalism -- the "recieving" state can't directly requisition the payments from the "pitching" state unless that state has passed a specific law to fix the problem. Fortunately most states *have* by now and I think most of the rest are working on it. Still a problem.

Whats the authors last name? And no. It was public knowledge at the time. The same with the Belgian assassination of the UN General. What was different, without the internet, fact-checking took a bit more time so the omission of fact was needed more than the revision of fact.

IIRC it has something to do with the climate during fall making the leaves really bright because the other stuff in the leaves besides chlorophyll doesn't have a chance to break down? It's been a really long time since I read about it and I can't remember everything

Jerry Manderbilt posted:Burlington is much closer to Montreal than to New York City, isn't it Yes, but the really funny thing is that Burlington aligned itself with Boston over NYC in the 1850s because Albany and Schenectady fought over the rights to Lake Champlain maritime trade for so long that the railroad companies out of Massachusetts built a line over the Green Mountains to compete with them which ended up being cheaper.

Okay, I have a dark secret I promised myself I'd never reveal, but all the Vermont talk has pried it out of me. I drove to Vermont solely to go tour the Ben and Jerry's factory. I did some hiking, but it was cover for my stupid lust for ice cream.

I drove to Vermont solely to go tour the Ben and Jerry's factory. I did some hiking, but it was cover for my stupid lust for ice cream. There is no reason to apologize for this. Ben & Jerry's is delicious and the free factory tour comes with an ice cream sample at the end. Cherry Garcia is the best flavor and I'm sorry if you disagree with this because you are wrong. Also, Boston owes its freedom during the War of Independence to Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys who got drunk one night, crossed the lake, and took Fort Ticonderoga without a shot fired. The cannons from the fort were taken to Boston by Henry Knox for the siege.
