Pumps' Perplexities

I liked the State of Vermont when I lived there some
30 years ago.......It was one of those places where things
did not change much......In fact there was an olde local
saying that, "Vermont did not take notice of the stock
market Crash of '29 until 1935.......

There are two types of people in Vermont......The native
Vermonter and the Flatlanders.....If your family did not
hunt with the Indians, than you are a Flatlander......

All the little towns are run by the same families for
generation after generation......The large cities are run
by Flatlanders.....

Well, I read in one Vermont paper today, that they
want to change the education system in the state.......
They want to reduce the number of local school boards
by over 1/3, have regional districts and tell Mrs. Green
and Mr. Adams that they no longer have a "say" in
how their grandchildren will be taught......

One thing the Flatlanders never have seemed to figure
out.....And, that is the Vermonter HAS ALWAYS
governed, or permitted someone else to temporarily govern.......
I foresee no changes in the education system....

That is why the gun rack is still in the rear window of
their pick-ups.......Pumps
