Vermont Country Journal — by Steve Nadis

Normally when I return from one of my “fishin’” trips, I bring back some local color and nifty anecdotes that grace the pages of CALL ME SNAKE. But I  got none of that during this trip to Vermont, nothing that would do justice to CMS’s “Country Journal” imprimatur.

So instead, we’ll have to settle for a few minor comments. We got lost on our way to Ludlow, taking an hour detour by going to Chester. I can say that the scenery looked bleak while we were lost but looked much more beautiful when we had found the right path.

When I travel these roads with my mother-in-law, the Mr. Mike’s in Winchendon has an inexorable pull on us. We cannot avoid stopping there, it seems. On the homeward trip, we’d just finished a sumptious feast of haute cuisine at a place called Quatre Vingt Dix-Neuf (aka 99), and I thought we’d have no need for a savory at said Mr. Mike’s. But the kids clamored for a treat nevertheless, which they purchased while I filled the tank at our customary pit stop, Monsieur Mike’s.

    Sorry MP,although it may be no secret, I’d rather not give out personal info like that. I should not have gone into it in the first place&I’ve since taken out the paragraph in question. Sorry. –S.

    WHAAA?? You are a WIMP, Snake.
    I don’t consider the name of a town or city
    “personal info”, nor do most. That’s why people typically ONLY give out their town. A street address & home phone is an example of personal info.
