"But to me it's so damn easy to see that your people are the people at home,
Well I been away but now I'm back today and there ain't a place I'd rather go" -OAR


My friend from high school, Megan, has that in her profile, and nothing could be more true. It's funny because I'm from a town that I'll always thought was small, but not really small, cause I can name plenty of towns in Vermont, and even New York and New Hampshire, that are smaller than mine, but here, everyone assumes it's super small. but it was perfect size. i could live in a town that size for my whole life. i love rutland and all the people in it (well you know what i mean). i think that the people in the rut have this "hub" this connection. its cool because we all know whats up when we are talking about something. there are things i really miss, like people who know what camping really means; like going way out to the pennisula of "the dam" and building a huge bon fire in the dark, all the while getting bitten by bugs and falling down and getting scraped all over...people who know what hiking is in the mud and the rain and the hot hot sun, up deers leap to waterfalls and views that you can't imagine because they are all unbelieveable...people who know that wearing sox with sandals is ok, even with piles of snow on the ground...people who know what a nalgene is, and have a REAL one with stickers all over it, to persoanlize it...people who know how to appreciate doing nothing with people that you love to just do nothing with...people who understand that driving around in the middle of the night only to have your friends steal your car and run over your friends foot (!!) and find huge bumps in the road and railroad tracks, just to jump your car over.....so many memories...i guess thats what this whole "country" thing is everyone is talking about....

i love you rutlanders....all my vegas people...my rut people...i miss you all...
