Mike, technical books can also be turned into ebooks- We're looking at converting our maintenance manuals to .pdf and giving the Techs each kindles. They have lots of pictures so they wouldn't have to read much  You can also import .txt files, which I just did for a friends wedding vows

Rte 128 was open this morning when I went through at 8am. I DID hear that rte 15 in Cambridge was still closed at that time though.

Oops, thanks Mike- I'm used to Facebook, which automatically creates hyperlinks

This has probably been posted in the past, but it's a pretty good link:

Thanks Mike! I saw it this morning and laughed but didn't think stopping in the middle of the road (during a hurricane, no less) was such a great idea. Lets hope our damage stays minimal!

Sometime after the Egg Run (August 6), the Parks & Rec Department will be working on next year's activities. We have discussed moving the Fairfax Community Day to July and to roll it into an Independence Day celebration. We would love input on what the community would like to see, and just as importantly we would love volunteers that can help make it happen. More details to follow in the near future. Thanks for the support everyone!

Yes, you can buy them at the gate- $14 per adult ticket which comes with two (free) children's tickets.

I would vote yes, knowing that the town budget overall is a very small part of my total tax bill. I honestly wouldn't care of the town taxes (which provide me with more direct benefit than school taxes) doubled! According to Wikipedia, "As of the census[1] of 2000, there were 3,765 people, 1,222 households, and 966 families residing in the town"? That's around $6.50 per household. Of course the range would probably be between $3 and $9 per household... Regardless I vote yes I'm torn between having an attitude of "being annoyed that the Select Board makes a big deal over $5,000 and $10,000 expenses, but takes the liberty of making their own decisions on much larger issues" and one of "being grateful that the Select Board involves the citizens in decisions". Either way, I'm still thankful for them volunteering for the job. Ok... I'm off to enjoy my Independence Day in Chittenden County.

Thanks for the story Henry- I love hearing them! It's certainly not a crank-style, but we just bought the ice cream maker attachment for our Kitchenaid mixer- I can't wait to use it! I'm not much for sweets or desserts (I usually go for another slice of steak instead!) but I love homemade ice cream!

My american flag has become too tattered to remain in service and I was wondering if anyone knows how I can properly dispose of it. I thought I remembered a discussion here not too long ago.
Thanks and happy Independence Day!

Part of the problem with this particular situation is that the salesmen aren't really identifying themselves up front. I realize that of all people, vacuum salesman going door to door have the "most annoying" reputation and if they had a badge that said "Electrolux" I doubt they would get anyone to open the door to begin with... But coming to the door with a basket of crackers just seems like an odd thing to do (and asking for the "woman of the house" is kind of surprising these days)! Sure, every salesman has their own marketing technique but perhaps these guys should revisit theirs. Just sayin.
And as several people have said, unfortunately you just can't be too careful now, even in little old Fairfax. I'm not saying that I come to the door with a loaded gun, but anytime an unannounced visitor pulls in I'm at least on guard (of course it helps knowing that my neighbor watches my house closer than I do) and could defend myself and my property if I needed to.
