Classic movies. Vintage pop culture. Cats.
Hundreds of protesters lined Manchester's roundabout and the adjacent streets. Lots of encouraging honking, some chanting, overall very friendly vibe.

Just one driver gave us the finger (some chick from CT) and my mother, a teacher, shouted, "PROBLEM CHILD" after her. #NoKings #Vermont

Thank you, Sandy! What did you think of the movie? I love the sort of early Universal horror vibe to some of it.

I feel like Frank Fay IRL would be first in line.

A long time ago I used to watch movies in which greedy nitwits fall into obvious traps and think, "Seriously, who would fall for this?" These days I'm like, "Yeah, that totally tracks."

It's actually quite warm and green here now. Usually late September to early October is the best time for foliage. Fair warning, though, the tourist towns get VERY full with "leaf peepers" around that time. Mid- to late October often brings storms that knock all the leaves down.

Me usually: *trying to seem urbane*

Me watching THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY: wellll, I'm just a simple country girl who grew up on a dirt road and went to the old three-room schoolhouse that's now the town library, but let me tell ya a thing or two about Vermont...

I don't know who came up with the door that doesn't fit in its frame in THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY but wow is this ever a Vermont thing in my experience! It's actually pretty humid here and every door in my (not very old) house has swollen or shrunk and doesn't fit its frame.

Vermont didn't have a state police until 1947, less than 10 years before THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY. To investigate the high-profile unsolved 1946 disappearance of a Bennington College student, Vermont relied on CT and NY, which led to the establishment to a Public Safety department. #VermontLore

See the poster on left for the Dorset Playhouse? It's still there! Lovely place. I've been going there since I was a kid. Saw two plays there this summer. #VermontLore

Big "don't threaten me with a good time" energy here.
