Apparently a fire going on at the waffle cabin at Stowe.

I was wondering. I saw something on FB about a fire at the summit of Stowe and mention of it being the Cliff House. The Waffle Cabin is a much better thing to burn than the top of the Gondola.

It’s in the same building as the top of the gondola not a stand alone structure

"There was harm done to the main restaurant or the gondola."
What the hell ever happened to editors?

WCAX is not a serious news organization, they're just an ad delivery service that happens to occasionally manage a few sentences of prose, some of which is (arguably) even adjacent to usefulness.
Yea...pretty sure they forgot to put the word "no" in there before harm. Oops!

Bbq waffles.....not good.
They've really fallen from what they used to be.
They're all basically the same, WCAX, WMUR, WBUR, WMTW....
Just the reality of the online world. I used to try and support local news with a subscription to seacoast online, but I deemed it a waste of money.

You Local has a delayed stream for news or try WMUR's website. I don't understand why NH residents are forced to get Vt stations. Friends of mine in Hebron have the same with You Tube TV. Some genius in DC designed the map of who gets to watch what for advertising. And you wonder why people don't trust the government!
WMUR and WCAX are virtually the same. They run the exact same national stories for the most part. I don't see a particular difference in quality.

The thing that always amuses me when I'm WCAX country is that they always appear to be using college age interns from UVM or other colleges. I've never seen a more young in age across the board news staff. Its almost comical...
All print/web based articles have no editing and haven't for like a decade. Its frankly embarrassing. You'd think AI could solve that in today's world.

I think only two counties in NH are in the Burlington/Plattsburgh area, the rest are either Boston and Portland.
It's becoming more common in all news media. There's just very little money to be made in journalism anymore. Even many of the staff writers for the Boston Globe are mostly in their 20s these days.
Those that do pursue journalism take jobs in rural papers or TV and then try to move to the cities to make a better living. Seems the only real money though is in podcasts these days. If you want to call that journalism.
I was actually the editor of my HS newspaper my junior and senior year and wanted to be a journalist. Only reason I didn't end up pursuing it was the best school I got into didn't have it as a major. My dad encouraged me to go there anyway as they had a strong English major program. I hated it, dropped out after a year and basically went on Phish tour for two years between bartending gigs and then eventually found my way to UVM to finish a bachelor's.

Sometimes the path isn't the chosen one. You are a better person for it today I presume, and you got to go on Phish tour for 2 years
In the grand scheme of life that seems like a "winning" path if you end up in a successful position where you can do the things you want.

It was a fun couple of years. No regrets, but it did probably push my current successful career track out about a decade. But seeing about 50 Phish shows between summer 95 through 97 was pretty good timing.

Garcia passing in 95 after I had seen him a couple hundred times was pretty well timed as I also took the Bar Exam that summer. Had seen Phish about 30 times in clubs over 5 years by then (the first time as one of 12 in the audience) so didn’t feel like I was missing out by not jumping on their post-GD shed and arena tours. And in a couple years I was able to get my Phil at the Beacon a mile from where I lived at least a dozen times a year so no need to disrupt more than my evenings to remain On The Bus.
Still have my stealer “Lunatic Fringe” skis as a decoration, having started countless lift conversations.
