Magical Middlebury

middlebury is a magical place,

full of energies,

River, Commerce, Commodities,

Travel hub for the Western side of Vermont,

home of middlebury college.

i got to work in the town for a few years,

you feel the granite, slate, the bricks, 

you smell the money.

The money smells clean, fresh,

smart people,

successful people,

wealthy people go to school here.

Ski, hockey, the Arts.

So it was shocking to me that the college would be so pro-Canadian gas pipeline.

You know, the one I rant about the land agents threatened elders and poor farmers

to gut/ no, to Gore their property for public good.

anyhow,

because the college is home to so many gifted students...the top of the top,

you know that leads many to a life of illumination,

imagination,

free reign, no brakes, full on satire...

The kind I loved in the 1970's with the Harvard Lampoon.

Those days were over,

or were they?

After our fracking fighting weary copatriots got and email this morning,

WTF was being heard shouted through the valley.

one after another logged on to dial up or satellite or some other way,

and opened this...

by Magical Middlebury College studentia...

Ah, to be young again.

So,
As I tried to post the
Wtf article
Was it a spoof?
Satire?
Well, adobe didn't make it easy
And Maybe they don't want me posting the best bit of humor
I have read in awhile.
I tried to find a link at their plaid & felt website.
And failed.

So trust me, it's funny.
I feel compelled to at least say something.

Still laughing
Or
Crying,
Later.

April Fool's Day

April Fools,
The weather and news people kept saying the Nor'Easter Storm was coming but it is not a joke for
April First, April Fools's Day, the traditional day of pranksters.
Then they said the storm is coming but looks milder than predicted, at least in this valley.
I thought about an old joke we played when hospitals were more fun (more like the show "Scrubs").
Way back I worked in a place where we had the resuscitation dummy (Annie) admitted through the ER.
One after another person would be fooled and laugh before Annie moved through all the departments, radiology, lab, finally the floor.
Tucked into her bed, her unmistakable plastic gentle face, diminutive body with her jogging suit (she was fashioned after a real Annie who was jogging and died-was that a myth?)
One of our Dr.s walked in to see her.
He started rattling off the usual roster of tests: EKG, Chest xray, labs, etc, etc.
They were his standing orders.
I was the handmaiden, the nurse scribbling orders and obeying the Dr.
How was I going to tell him?
That Annie was a plastic effigy of a human?
I don't quite remember, but pulling down a man's ego is a touchy subject,
and part of me felt bad for trying to explain to this foreign born Dr what April foolery is all about.
And now I have to go, work calls, no snow day today.
That is not an April Fool's joke.
