... for nearly 50 years. The City of Light and Magic has had its problems, but its image will not be enhanced by the presence of a motorcycle gang with a rep that rivals that of the Hell's Angels. I got a bad feeling about this. A few hundred drunken bikers gathered at the Fairgrounds on Route 7? What could go wrong?

I'm only 25 miles from Rut-vegas. In rural Vermont 25 miles is just a milk run. I hope the Rutland PD has its A-game warmed up. I'm postponing any trips to the Big City until after those clowns are gone. Even if it's just traffic congestion, they're gonna be a pain in the ass.
