you can't get there from here


There's an old saying in Vermont, "You can't get there from here." Unfortunately it appears to be true these days. I've never known what it's like to live in a disaster zone, now I do.
On Monday night I saw a convoy of Army trucks driving on Rte. 133 in Ira. It's not unusual to see 3 to 4 utility trucks together on the roads. Saw a Red Cross semi apparently hauling in supplies in Rutland yesterday. Helicopters flying overhead. A co-worker is part of an ATV team hauling supplies to Rochester on Friday. The roads there are gone. The traffic light in West Rutland is still not working. I saw a guy in a pick up truck directing traffic there yesterday from inside his truck.
