- I just learned that my home state of
Vermont is the only state that President Bush
hasn't visited as president. The state
did vote against him in 2000 and 2004, and the
state Senate approved a resolution calling for
his impeachment earlier this year. "The vast
bulk of Vermonters not only don't want to see him
in Vermont, they don't want to see him in the
White House any longer," said Garrison
Nelson, a professor of political science at the
University of Vermont. "He's saving the best
for last," said Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.,
one of his harshest critics in Congress.
I'm very proud. - John

Recycle your
EGG CARTONS with us
We have a friend with chickens
a-laying
and a need for empty egg cartons.
GIVE THE EGGS A HOME.
You can just drop any empty egg
cartons at the main counter and we will give them
a good home. Thanks ... for being a good egg.
Just-resigned "presidential
brain" Karl Rove told
reporters that his plans include working on a
book. He has already talked to a Washington-based
lawyer who has brokered high-powered book deals
for everyone from Bill and Hillary Clinton to
Alan Greenspan to Jenna Bush. No further details
on the book are forthcoming as of yet.
An
Associated Press/Ipsos poll, released in late
August revealed that 27 percent
of the approximately 1,000 U.S. adults polled had
not read a book in the past year.
However, the study showed that more
than half of those who did read a book in the
past year had read more than six books, and over
a quarter had read more than 15. Some
times it seems a very small world.
There are many
new buttons from the Zichilton
Message Company on the
spinner rack located on the main counter. As
always, all the buttons aren't for everyone ...
that just makes life more interesting. My
favorite is Willie Nelson for surgeon
general, but there's a whole lotta new
there.

We also have a bunch of very funny,
non-book stuff from a company called Ruby
Q. Some people may not think they're
funny (that's the problem with funny) but we like
them ... take a look ... I think you'll laugh.
The
World of Kristina
There is a new display in our front
window. It is done by Kristina, of course, and
it's all about music. It's looking good, but
don't take my word for it ... come down and look
for yourself.
Remember, always keep at least one
eye on the window display, because Kristina is a
very talented artist and her displays bring
something fresh and different to Main Street. If
you have a need for: window
display, paper art & sculpture, card making,
or mixed media artwork, Kristina is the
inventive, talented, and clever person for you.
If she isn’t in the store, she can be
e-mailed at kristina_mcclanahan@yahoo.com Put some
of her unique talent in your life.
