I thought you all would enjoy this. Here in Vermont we have something called "Front Porch Forum." Every town has one. It's basically a bulletin board that gets emailed to you daily, where people post things for sale, services, things they need, and sometimes opinions.
Here's one from today (I've taken out the person's contact info):
Seeking Missing Cow
LOST AND FOUND
We had a bull jump our fence on Perry hill road and take off. He was last seen around the golf course. His name is Monty, he's very timid. If any one has seen him or sees him please call me asap! Please don't chase him or try to catch him. Addison.

Well, there's a golf course just under Perry Hill. It can't be helped. If I was a bull on the loose, I would head that way too. Downhill is the path water takes as well.

There's been sightings of catamounts in New England but supposedly there's no breeding population. Bobcats are more common to see in VT.

Hey China>Rider. Our drop-off
Hey China>Rider. Our drop-off time at the UVM dorm is 8:30 am Friday. I have to go in to work for the afternoon, and in celebration of #3 going to college, the last, we are blowing town for the weekend promptly after work! My experience has been that after we help them set up the room, our jobs are done. They have a full slate of orientation stuff that does not include us.
What dorm is yours in? Mine is in Wills, on the Athletic Campus. Redstone Campus is the best place to be.

Decent location, great green space and lawns, and the best parties and weed. Generally a chill vibe. Is yours in a theme?
My son was on Redstone his freshman year. The only drawback was that he was in a triple, which was really a double with an extra bunk bed. I think that prisoners legally require more square footage per person.

It's all different now, Lava. 80% of the dorms now have themes. I'm not quite sure how they work, but the Pirates of the Caribbean theme looked really fun.
Personally, I think that L & L has the best location. I'm not joking about this, but now it's known as the best place for threesomes and orgies.

living and learning was known for the cleanest vials on campus, at least while i was there.
but, it was always thematic, we had to choose a residence aligned with your studies - pottery, psychology, environmental science, etc. are uvms traditional dorms now thematic, as well? if there is a disney dorm, there must be a coca-cola dorm. ;)

Now it's things like Outdoors, Healthy Living, Sustainability, etc. You take a 1 credit class your first semester to go along with the theme.
The worst is supposed to be healthy living, where they have zero tolerance. Not only are drugs and alcohol not allowed, students are encouraged to narc if someone even comes home with a buzz.
