City Daily Photo Theme Day: Glass

It is still below 0°F (-18°C) every night and every morning here with a heavy snow cover, so this photo is a pleasant reminder of last summer when I took the St. Johnsbury Excursion Train to Lyndonville. We passed these old glass insulators on the powerlines.

Did you know that it has recently been found that glass has a fractal structure? Click here for more information.

City Daily Photo Theme Day: Orleans Village Metal Footbridge

As Grandson Wingnut and I walked the Orleans Village Quest this past Tuesday, we had to cross the Barton River on this metal footbridge high over the river. Wingnut, as you can see, had no fear of heights — unlike me! I held to the rail on both sides, focused my eyes on Wingnut across the river and cautiously made my way across while consciously breathing slowly. All photos will open in a new window when clicked.

City Daily Photo Theme Day: No Swimming, Campfires or Camping at May Pond

May Pond, directly over the ridge from my house, is the source of water for the Village of Barton. I am in Barton Town, so I have a well. The only NO signs I could think of are here at the pond. Below is another NO sign at the pond: No invasive species are to be transported into the pond or you are subject to a fine of up to $1,000. While Grandson Wingnut and I were there (with Scout the Dog), I took other photos to show you the area.

Lilly pads on a quiet section of the pond. Horrible glare.

A brown damselfly. I had no time to identify these damsel and dragon flies and butterflies. I will work on the identifications this week and update the post.

Moth. See the coiled proboscis?

City Daily Photo Theme Day: Numbers in Barton

I live in Barton, Vermont. The village is located where US Route 5 and Vermont Rt 16 intersect. I live on Rt 16 about two miles out of the village. Rt. 16 runs from Hardwick to Westmore, a distance of approximately 30 miles. I am on the last leg of the road near Westmore. Rt 5 runs north and south from Maine to Florida. Rt 16 runs north, south, east and west. These road signs are at the end of my road in Barton Village.

Just east of these signs, on the way to my house, is the sign in the photo on the left saying you are going east on Rt 16 (which you are, actually). You can see Crystal Lake and a part of Hardscrabble Mountain behind the sign. Nearly a mile east beyond this sign is the village limit. Rt. 16 from Barton Village to the village limit is called Eastern Avenue. But at the village limit, as you enter Barton Town, the name of the road changes to Willoughby Lake Road (Rt 16 ends at Willoughby Lake, 6 miles east.) Whew! Got all that?

Approximately ten years ago, Vermont began to implement the enhanced 9-1-1 emergency telephone system. At that time, the address for my house would have been RR 1 (for Rural Route), the same as just about everybody else in town. But the new law decreed that every road have a name. Town meetings were held and all the roads were named. The numbering system for the houses is the mileage on the road from the beginning of the road. Therefore, I live 1.203 miles from the beginning of Willoughby Lake Road. The system sort of works. Behind my mail box you can see my beaver bog. You can read a very lengthy but fascinating paper on the history of Vermont town roads here. And here is a great link for the Vermont Enhanced 911 Board.

One summer, my stepmother lived with me after she suffered a heart attack. One morning before dawn she needed an ambulance to the Newport hospital. But the 911 emergency dispatch operator (in Hardwick, 20 miles south), despite having my address, needed to know where we were ("Two miles east past the railroad tracks in the village," I cried. "Ahhh," she replied, "good, now I know where you are.")

Two summers ago, a Vermont state trooper kept driving slowly by my house and finally drove up the drive and stopped. He asked what road he was on. An emergency call had been made from a house on Willoughby Lake Road. But the phone number of the caller was a Brownington exchange (one town to the northeast) and he couldn't find it. A Brownington phone number could be just about anywhere near me up to the Canadian border. The trooper and I discussed where this other Willoughby Lake Road could be (we identified two other roads with the same name within a 10 mile radius of my house) and he took off to try to help this poor person. I hope he made it there in time.

Coming to visit? Just remember this: I am two miles east of the village past the railroad tracks. Or if you are coming from the east, I am one mile west of the Rainbow Farm. Everybody knows where that is.
