    Thought about trying to track you down, thought better of it, I am a stranger and you have a business to run. Maybe my thinking was off base. Next time????

    After 10 years Navy and 11 years ANG, I have been to alot of states and lived in my fair share. NEVER fell in love with a place so fast. I grew up in the NW and we have some great towns and real pretty scenary, so I am not easily impressed. Nice folks, pretty enviroment, clean town, 3 colleges in 20 min..... My first covered bridge experiance!!!!!!! Not 1 but 3 in the span of 10 min. Soooo Cool.
    I am really going on and on, sorry, you probably want to keep it a secret.

    My wife has been wanting to move back to New England and I have been resisting, didnt like the Springfield / Hartford area. NW Mass, SW Vermont, Eastern NY, thats an area I can live with, wifes a happy lady!!!!

    On behalf of the Town of Bennington & the State of Vermont we thank you.

    I wish you had stopped by I could have given you the grand tour of the shop and got you a cup of coffee or something.

    Sometimes I think these guys think I make this stuff up about this area so now I got a least one witness.

    Bennington Moosefest

    benncool,
    The wife and I were on vaca last week in Western Mass, after reading your posts the last few months about your area we decided we wanted to drive up and look around. Spent thursday night in town and banged around friday morning. Coolest town I ever been too!!! We liked it so well we stopped in to talk to a realtor.
    We saw the moose you guys are sponsoring as well as many of the other 57, saw one of your vans on the way in to town, kinda wierd to go from Idaho to Vermont and recognize a company van from the internet, technology!!!!!!

    You are a lucky guy to live in a place so nice!!!!

    Actually this Moosefest has been quite a success. It amazes me how many tourist it has attacked. There are 57 moose decorated throughout town. The Chamber of Commerce gives maps to tourist to were the moose are located.

    Our company went in 3rds with access Television Station and another small company. Each moose cost $1500 bucks. Guess which 3rd I got? Here is a link to the Moosefest 2005.

    Try Inner Detroit one day. You aint seen nothing till you seen the jungle. There are places that cops refuse to patrol it is so dangerous. Places look just like bombed out places you see on TV from Iraq.

    Moose is beheaded

    BENNINGTON -- Vandals carried away a Moosefest moose sometime early Wednesday morning, leaving its headless fiberglass carcass to be found among the cars at Jelly's Auto Sales in Pownal.

    "This is the first official major damage of one of the 57 moose. There is a $1,000 reward being offered for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible," said Timothy R. Corcoran, chief of Moosefest security and town clerk, at a press conference Wednesday morning. "While this is a negative act, it does not deter the energy of the event. We are going to make every attempt to repair the moose."

    Is it a beer?

    Is it a sex act? (Not according to president Clinton!)
    Clinton had "pig face", not moose head.
    I would have let her!

    Well his logic was.....If he ever wants a piece he just reaches in the back seat and gets what he wants.

    BEENCOOL: Why dont you lend them your head, it's only for a short time. Nobody will notice especially if you dont shave for a few days before. You might want to ditch the glasses. I cant believe anyone would try and steal your head, you know something has to have value to get stolen.

    Dice is selling her liver on EBay, he's trying to pass it off as haunted bread. If her family wants it back they should put in a bid.

    We had a guy here in Minnesota about 20 years ago, did the same thing, but tried to put her through the garbage disposal. Probably should have never called the plumber when it got plugged up.
