VTDigger reports that 59,000 Vermonters have suspended licenses. For a state with just over 600,000 people, that sounds insanely high. If there only about 460,000 people of driving age (and not all of them have licenses), then likely somewhere between 1 in 7 and 1 in 8 drivers have a suspended license** in Vermont.
Poking around, this article suggests 1 in 10 for drivers nationwide (and 1 in 7 in Florida), so Vermont is hardly out of the norm for the U.S. Just wow.
** I'd like to guess less about the number of licensed drivers in VT, but this site suggests there are 549,000 licensed drivers in VT, which clearly isn't right.

'Tis the season
...for pine trees to litter the roadways like used condoms, their purpose fulfilled, having shielded us from the oppressive dark of winter with twinkly decorations and the promise of spring.
Of course, the de-decorated pine trees can extend their useful life if you have neighbors with goats; for example, the goats at Pine Island Farm like nothing better than a tasty pine tree treat.
