I can’t get Chinese takeout because of my severe soybean allergy so I had to make it at home LIKE AN ANIMAL.
😂
I used coconut aminos in the place of soy and grapeseed oil for frying so all is well. #btv #cooking https://t.co/aerZwYpmrS

My cats are fighting over an open window. In January.
I opened more than one but that does not seem to matter. They both think they need the same one.
But the point is, I have windows open. #btv

Dave's Corner 💭
I recently came across an individual who said he was trying to stop using toilet paper for the environment. Maybe stop using your car first, or buying new clothes. Toilet paper comes from a renewable resource (trees) and for sanitary reasons it should probably not be near the top of your environmental list.

Sighs are STILL permenantly fixed to many bissonnet properties buildings. Doesn't this need to go through zoning approval? Also on corners of Union/North, North Winooski/North streets and multiple other locations.

- Ponding and sinking road progressively worse
Road between storm and sewer lines in street is sinking and depression is low enough cars at driveway are scraping, ponding because below catch basin cover allows wide ice and unsafe.
Seperately but probably related, at center of road at next storm cover to north, plows are ramming the lip that's growing as pavement sinks.

Random Burlingtonian Quote of the Day 📝
When we come to inanimate elements, the prevailing view has been that time and sequential change are entirely foreign to their nature. According to this view they do not have careers; they simply change their relations is space. We have only to think of the classic conception of atoms. The Newtonian atom, for example, moved and was moved, thus changing its position in space, but it was unchangeable in its own being. ...In itself it was like a God, the same yesterday, today, and forever.
—John Dewey
