With Your Coffee [Monday Edition]

 

Brandon, Vermont.

Welcome daylight savings time. It’s going to be dark about 4:30 p.m. in Vermont, so it’s time to be extra cozy in the evenings and find a new round of documentaries, or at least turn on the Netflix fireplace, for those of you who are fellow small space dwellers. And hope that this election season isn’t the end of us all. Fingers crossed.

A few links from around the web for your enjoyment.

• The winter in Vermont (the snowy ones that is) usually causes a handful of deteriorating barns to collapse under the snow load. It’s an ongoing dilemma as people generally do not have the money to maintain these large structures. And it’s one we’re not sure how to fix. But, start with these barn-saving tips from the National Trust.

• A new barn documentary. Add it to the winter list!

• The New York Public Library’s Last Secret Apartments.

• Awesome bike lane and sea monster.

• The Bermuda Triangle in Vermont. Sounds like a good exploration for next summer.

• Route 66, not loved by all. And for good reason.

• Are you counting down the days to Gilmore Girls? I am, not surprisingly.

• Let’s be honest. Tomorrow, YOU can vote for a narcissistic racist misogynist and live in that type of world, or you can vote for someone who has fought for people and policies her entire life, and is truly tough. It’s about common decency, people. And that’s it. This is beyond politics. Listen to Michelle Obama. Make the right choice, America.
