Wettest Summer in Memory?

This has been a VERY wet summer here in Vermont. The ultimate proof? I
found this mushroom growing in our bathroom today. To some of my
relatives this will also be proof positive that we are the worst
housekeepers ever. That may be true, but in the best localvore
tradition we will certainly be making an interesting salad tomorrow...

Now she says she's on her way...

Adirondack Chair Phone Post Test

This is really just a test to see how easy it is to post here from my new phone. It is a beautiful day in East Montpelier, oddly enough (it's been a wet summer).

This calls for fresh corn from the farm stand and yummy, not very lean burgers from The Dudley Store. That is, if I can get out of this chair...

Don't look too closely at the feet; I didn't think the phone would deliver this level of...detail.

Mobile Lounge?

Have you ever been to Dulles Airport and encountered their freaky "Mobile Lounge" shuttle things? You follow the arrows that say "Shuttle to Concourse C," pass through a doorway expecting a long passageway leading to a train or bus, and find yourself in a large, dead-end room with several people standing around. You know something is odd, but you're not exactly sure what. And then a huge train-like vehicle parks itself just outside the window, a vehicle filled with people like you. And you think, Wait a minute: this room IS the shuttle? A few moments later the doors close and the room (18 feet high, 53 feet long) moves away from the concourse....
