After the incident described below, I was no longer liking these buttons very much. I wondered if there are "good pirates" sorta like Robin Hood...you know!!! Is there? There must be because wasn't Johnny Depp's role a good guy?
Captain Phillips of Underhill, Vermont made international news when he was held hostage by pirates. He volunteered to be captive in order to save his crew.

The crews were reporting from the Underhill General Store which is almost directly across the road from the Philips home. It's a very quaint community where everyone knows everyone else. Most folks have farm animals. I live a short distance from this location.

When was the last time you saw one of these?When news broke that Captain Phillips had been rescued, many of the news folks had just ordered steak dinners at this lovely inn, jumped up from their seats and hollered that they would be back to pay the bill.
The food is divine. Notice that it is a culinary institute.
The inn is much larger than is shown in this picture. The other buildings give a horseshoe effect. This is a favorite place to hold wedding receptions. The view of the mountains is phoenominal.
