There are several things to note in the following picture:
- There is a tiny icicle hanging from the roof. A couple of larger ones were cut out of the picture
- Gas is only $2.93 a gallon.
- My coworker swears that the sky is normally beautiful and clear, and that there are mountains. I’ll believe him when I see it.

Flying out of Burlington International Airport. The mountains finally make their appearance!
