A vast mass of hot rock is welling up underneath Vermont and extending into other subterranean regions below New England, new research shows.

You may have to go a bit north of Taxachussets for it, but in Maine there are still good people living out that hardscrabble, old school, independent way of life. It's diluted, but it is there. Me, I'm from "away," but I love the old school types we know, so decent.
