Vietnam Moving Wall Public Forum at the Brattleboro VFW

Tuesday September 7th, the Brattleboro VFW located at 40 Black Mountain Road is proud to host a Vietnam Wall Memorial question and answer forum where the public is invited to attend. There will be speakers to offer their perspective on the Wall, then a question and answer session after their presentations. All are welcome to attend. We ask that people are respectful during this time, and realize some emotions may run high.


Personal Stress and World Stress

There are few people who do not experience some degree of stress in their daily lives. We figure out ways to cope and we move on, trying to live in the moment as best we can. Lately I have been stressed more than I ever have in my entire life and am trying to get past it but it is proving difficult. Here’s my story.

I will spare you details but my wife and I have bought a house in Brattleboro and she has sold her place in Massachusetts. My house in Guilford, where I have lived for the past 41 years is for sale. (Contact me if you want to buy it.) We are in the process of moving into our new house. We knew this whole process would be complicated but we were not prepared for the level of anxiety we are experiencing. We have each other and that helps a lot.


Journalism –1881

1881
S. M. Waite was brought to Brattleboro by the 10 o’clock train on Wednesday morning, by Deputy Marshal Sprague, to testify in the several cases now pending before the commissioners against his estate in insolvency. He walks the streets in company with the deputy-marshal with all his old-time air of enjoyment and careless indifference. Whatever else may be the matter with him Waite evidently is not a prey to remorse and compunction for his sins and crimes.

Futility: The Story of a Moth

Moth on Window

I was sitting in the window the other day looking out into yet another summer shower when I noticed a moth flapping around between the inner pane and the outer storm window.  As is typical for moths trapped in such situations, this one had flown all the way to the top of the window casing where it was beating itself against every surface trying to get out.  I felt for it but couldn’t figure out a way to get at it to effect a bug rescue.  As I pondered its dilemma, it occurred to me that the general tendency of most flying insects when trapped between window panes is exactly the wrong one for escaping that situation.  They always fly up where there is no way for me to open the window and let them out.
