If anyone needs a ride, I’m now approved by Uber for servicing the Brattleboro area. Will tailer hours to demand. I’m based in downtown Bratt, and will provide rides anywhere in the region. Request a pickup from the Uber app anytime you need to get to or from somewhere. More affordable, luxurious and convenient then a taxi.

We’re one month away from the 2017 Out in the Open Summit for rural & small town LGBTQ folks would love to see you there! Register at greenmountaincrossroads.org/out-in-the-open-2017.
Lately I’ve noticed that there has been a lot of vehicle fatalities in the State of Vermont. It doesn’t matter if it’s 91, 89, 7 or just a country road. It seems everyday there is a report (WCAX) of a fatality or an accident resulting with serious injuries. Is it due to drugs and alcohol? Or do we have crazy and distracted drivers? My heart goes out to the innocent victims and their families. Perhaps we need more police officers to patrol the highways but I know funding is tight. So if you plan on leaf peeping in a few weeks…be alert and defensive on the roads. You just never know who you are sharing the road with.

I was out on errands and was thinking about the long list of disasters we’ve seen lately – hurricanes, wildfires, droughts, earthquakes, nuclear saber-rattling, and so on. No specific thoughts, but just general awe of the list.
