At 1:15 AM yesterday morning, the Hometown Sunoco in Swanton, Vt was robbed at gunpoint.
The robber, who is described as a white male between 5'8" and 6'0" tall, walked away from the robbery with an undisclosed amount of money and goods. He did not harm anyone.
There is no other available information.
Vermont State Police are still looking for the suspect. If anyone has any information, they are urged to call the State Police in St. Albans at 802-524-5993 or the Franklin County Sheriff's Office at 802-524-2121.

It's Hunting Season Boys!
Two Vermont rednecks went bear hunting the other day, and one of them got shot.
Conrad Masse, 76, from Craftsbury shot his pal Wayne Goff, 58 from Wolcott, in the groin, when the bear they were hunting walked in between the two men.
Do I feel bad for him? No, not really.
A lot of people make the argument that the elderly should be required to retake their drivers test once they hit a certain age for safety reasons. I think that arguement should apply for the elderly who hunt.
So besides having to deal with the guilt of shooting his friend, Masse also has to deal with the fact that he is getting screwed up the bum legally.
Masse is charged with "Aggravated Assault... fined for Shooting from the Road, Having a Loaded Rifle in his Vehicle, and Not having proper display of permits for the bear hounds." Detective Sgt. Jacob Zorn- Bradford Barracks.
Swag.

Blog Critique- Alex Foster's Trek to Change the World
http://trektochangetheworld.com/
"By the time you read this I will have renounced all of my worthless possessions like I always wanted to do... I will be on the road with no money, no phone, no security, no insurance, nothing, but love, life, liberty and the pursuit of a dream... The dream to live in a world of people wide awake to their own dreams and the universal one; to love each other boundlessly and selflessly for the greater good of all Humankind."
-Alex Kode Foster
Personally, I find most blogs to be redundant, boring, and full of endless complaints about politics, human morality, and the ever failing economy. Who really gives a ****, right? Most of the bloggers spend their lives behind their computer screen, "meeting" people online, and never being proactive in their want for change.
Alex Foster is not that kind of blogger.
What makes Trek to Change the World a blog worth reading is that Alex Foster isn't sitting behind a computer screen complaining. He's out there making his dream a reality. For the next 5 months Alex and his friend Dylan will be traveling together, carrying nothing but the bare essentials and making their way around the country on a solar powered trek. He's out there meeting people and making his philosopy known.
Trek to Change the World is updated every few days or so.
Almost every post has comments on it, so it is read regularly.
Besides texts Trek to Change the World uses video and pictures.
All in all, there is nothing about Trek to Change the World that I don't like. Just the fact that Alex and his friend Dylan are out there, on foot, making change, and documenting their progress via blog makes it all worth reading.
