50% of Burlington residents are women and 0% of its mayoral candidates. I can’t overstate how demoralizing this is for women of all ages to see over and over again. #vtpoli #btv https://t.co/dnDuYOWDF1

Dave's Corner 💭
We're almost a year into the pandemic but it's just now that I'm seeing a lot of people really next level struggling with the mental effects. I think we'll be analyzing for years, if not decades, how this pandemic changed people emotionally. Call a friend up. They probably would appreciate hearing your voice.

Please leave road through the campground toward the south and to North Beach unplowed, the direct road under the bridge is the most heavily utilized and the one to plow. In the winter, plowing the road through the campground to the south cuts off ski across to all the open spaces. Thanks!

Random Burlingtonian Quote of the Day 📝
Who would imagine that the Deity conducts his providence similar to the detestable despots of this world? Oh horrible? most horrible impeachment of Divine Goodness! Rather let us exaltedly suppose that God eternally had the ultimate best good of beings generally and individually in his view, with the reward of the virtuous and the punishment of the vicious, and that no other punishment will ever be inflicted, merely by the divine administration, but that will finally terminate in the best good of the punished, and thereby subserve the great and important ends of the divine government, and be productive of the restoration and felicity of all finite rational nature.
—Ethan Allen
