Vermontification

I believe that when you become a Vermont citizen, you are issued a Volvo wagon, an entire hemp wardrobe, and some kind of comfortable slip-on shoes or sandals. Maybe Prozac, too, as everybody we meet seemed incredibly friendly and happy. Maybe it was the fact they were seeing the sun for the first time in 10 days. In an unrelated note, I'm not sure how they ever elected a Republican senator (now an Independent) in such a liberal state.
