And WDEV-FM Warren, Vermont!  (There are locals but 96.1's upgrade makes 
it just about everywhere in north and central Vt.  Just another reminder 
that Vermont is a part of NE and mega-Sox supporters.

I was spoiled being in Lowell & Dracut, with a quick (okay 
traffic-snarled) commute with the rest of the bridge & tunnel crowd, or 
commuter rail into North Station, Green Line, and ....baseball!  The 
unsung heroes are here in the hills and dales of Vermont, many of whom 
will load up a van, car, or even a chartered bus and make the 4-5 hour 
ride to Fenway, only to motor back north to arrive at the wee hours of 
the morning. And those of us on the windward side of the Greens get earn 
the opportunity to add another hour to the trip.  (Vermonters like to 
head north regardless of the hour, road conditions.)
