I read Linda's story...Aah, western New England. I read Linda's story and I pined for the pines (and maples, oaks, ponds and streams, etc). Rte 100 winds N-S thru the center of V, thru hills, mountains, valleys,and crossing many streams. I beleive there were several wash-outs, stranding towns along the way. However, as you 'll note like she said, not a lot of recognition. A few stories, not much. Not like Japan. Japan had it's Nuke plant, which never caused any damage outside the fence but got all the press. The earthquake, Tsunami, and wrecked villages got hardly a mention. Such things were old news, what with Sumatra, Haiti, and the US hurricanes. Too bad the pundits didn't think about Vermont Yankee (Nuclear Plant)which was never in danger, but oh, the stories that could have come out of that one! "Could Vermont Yankee get washed down stream and contaminate Connecticut!?" But alas, villages in little Vermont don't sell many newspapers or TV ads. DadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
