Vermont spectrum

Gotta write this down before I forget it:
Recently we stopped at a hardware store on the way up to Burlington. We happened to wander into the paint department and found many stacked cans of paint. The variety seemed a little strange to me at first, but then I realized that the selection of colors was complete, in Vermont fashion. The store had BOTH of the necessary colors in stock: white for the house and red for the barn. And that was it.
