1,300 MILES!!!

ran 3.0 miles
Only 780 miles left to go! Tomorrow puts us at exactly one year from the day we will vote for the next president of the United States of America. One year until we can start turning this mess around, looking less like the beginning of Greece’s demise and more like America.

Here are some stats and facts about the state of Vermont (to check out stats and facts about more states click on “states of the union” on the right):

• Vermont was the fourteenth state to join the union on March 4, 1791, one year before Kentucky and one year after Rhode Island.
