Welcome 802 Online!

[Ed note: "802" is Vermont's one and only area code]

It's nice to see 802 Online, another Vermont-based blog - and this one from a frequent contributor to a neat publication that comes out free here each week called "Seven Days" we try to grab each week - with some additional Vermont links listed.

Actually, with the state of newspapers up here, blogs become more important (IMHO). For example, we're served by two papers here, one a daily called the Times Argus which seems to miss much of the less mainstream stuff that makes up a good part of life here, and the weekly Hardwick Gazette (yup, about like it sounds). But one strong part of the Times Argus is its letters to the editor section. There are some damned good letters in there intermingled with many "if you don't love everything this president does you ought to be shot and THEN exiled to Canada" ones.
