The post also goes on to say that the administration has made a promise to codify divestment from arms and arms manufacturing in all public and private investments.

If there is a need for Ritalin Pill to be taken overnight, such as in the case of narcolepsy, the healthcare professional may prescribe a different medication or adjust the dosage and timing of Ritalin to accommodate the individual's specific needs. It is crucial to discuss any concerns or specific requirements with the prescribing healthcare professional to ensure the most appropriate treatment plan.
University of #Vermont encampment still up this morning with little appreciable #police presence. One of their demands strikes at the #Biden administration:
“And protesters called on #UVM to cancel this year’s commencement speaker, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. ambassador to the #UnitedNations. Protesters see her as complicit in the three U.S. vetoes of #ceasefire resolutions at the United Nations.” #protest#FreePalestine

These big food service cans were donated to a food shelf I volunteer at, but there's no chance our clients will take them, so I'm shifting them to another food shelf that operates a kitchen. Hopefully they won't go to waste, though using > 30 pounds of water chestnuts is going to be a challenge! #Vermont#FoodInsecurity
Using the dryer rather than...just hanging things up is a not-eco-friendly American addiction, and I appreciate a well-built drying rack.
I saw a house in St Johnsbury, #Vermont with 4x of these wall mounted rotary clothes airers on their porches and thought they were a great idea, and finally found the right search terms today for a source.
I got my petition to put my name on the ballot as a Justice of the Peace as an independent. This is a position I've held within the town since 2013. JPs can marry people and serve on the Board of Civil Authority (to run elections) and the Board of Abatement (for hearings on tax/water bills)
Usually the parties put forward candidates. I've always run as a Democrat because it was easier. Now I've decided to get all thirty signatures because I'm honestly not a Democrat and I think it will be okay.
As I was filling out my petition, I realized I didn't have to say "independent" I could make up any party I wanted (within reason) and it would appear on the November ballot. Now I'm scheming dumb ideas. Got any?
Ritalin is a brand name for the generic medication methylphenidate. It is a prescription stimulant that affects the central nervous system, specifically targeting neurotransmitters in the brain. Ritalin is available in various formulations, including immediate-release (IR) and extended-release (ER) versions. Dosage varies based on the individual's condition, age, and response to treatment.

One last bit of eclipse content! As totality was nearing, I set my GoPro up on a tripod to capture the event. It's neat to see totality approaching and leaving in a wave.
I went to a new #RepairCafe today, operated by Sustainable Charlotte. It's a great scene with lots of fixers, a big space, all sorts of home-cooked food, kids running around. Very busy, with a huge list of people waiting for knife sharpening. Too bad I don't do knife sharpening. 😀 I fixed two bicycles, one that needed brake work and a tire re-seated, and another that needed the shifters cleaned. Then no more bikes so I fixed two lamps. #Vermont
We have high wind alerts and as I watch the trees blow outside my windows... I'm also thinking about how many old trees we have around... and about how all our power lines are above ground on poles.
So if I'm not online later... there's a reason... 🙂
I just posted a long thread about our eclipse adventures, but this was the only photo I managed. I hauled my fancy, expensive astrophotography gear up with ambitions of capturing a lengthy timelapse, but none of it worked (battery wouldn't power up despite a full charge, mini PC wouldn't connect to wifi hotspot despite dozens of prior tests). It was still well worth the experience, but I would have loved to capture some better photos.
My only good shot from totality (after I remembered to take the filter off the lens! 🤦♂️🤣). Totality was amazing and so I was drinking it all in. Temps dropped a good 10 degrees F, mosquitoes came out, the birds stopped singing, everyone’s solar lights came on, and it was incredibly dark. Really amazing!
And then it was over and everything started returning to normal!
There was of course only one song that could be used as the musical background 🤣
Not that I was just pointing an iPad with an added optical lens up at the sky. I wasn’t aiming for high quality photos… just more to have some memories of an amazing experience.
It is 6:17 AM and there is already a stream of traffic heading north. I am just thankful that we didn’t do anything stupid yesterday and that the dog is not stressing out like he has in the past.
Eventually totality arrived, and I spent it looking slightly less stupid thanks to my ponytail holding the hat down, and slightly more stupid because of the eclipse glasses in front of my my glasses. I was in awe, and with an adorable “puppy” in my lap.
Spending an eclipse with a puppy and your lap sounds awesome, but if I’m honest, I forgot he was there because I was so blown away
" Bill that would make Vermont the first state to have a 'Climate Superfund' takes a key step forward
The #ClimateSuperfund Act directs the state treasurer to work with climate scientists to catalog the damage Vermont has seen due to #ClimateChange between 1995 and 2024 — and what it will cost to adapt to a warmer future with more volatile weather.
If the bill becomes law, #Vermont could start to seek damages in 2027."
"#Vermont’s measure would task the state treasurer with calculating the costs of needed #climate adaptation work, as well as the damage inflicted by previous disasters such as last summer’s devastating floods.
The program would collect money from companies that emitted more than 1 billion tons of CO2 around the world from 1995 to today. Those companies with business activity in Vermont would be charged according to their percentage of global #emissions."
