Dave's Corner 💭
A colleague wondered about the squirrel population in Burlington. He said he is seeing far fewer this year than last. Last year, around our house, was a bumper year for chipmunks. It may be they boomed, took resources from the squirrels, and now the squirrels are down on their luck trying to bounce back.

Random Burlingtonian Quote of the Day 📝
In those parts of the world where learning and science has prevailed, miracles have ceased; but in such parts of it as are barbarous and ignorant, miracles are still in vogue; which is of itself a strong presumption that in the infancy of letters, learning and science, or in the world's non-age, those who confided in miracles, as a proof of the divine mission of the first promulgators of revelation, were imposed upon by fictitious appearances instead of miracles.
—Ethan Allen
