who walked, with a small group, from brattleboro to montpelier,
126 miles, 12 days,
in the grip of winter,
to protest the extension of an operating license
for a 38 year old problem-prone nuclear power plant.

Wow. That feat sounds rather amazing. And the photo is full of character.
She did well and you did well portraying her!!
If more citizens would be socially conscious, we might have a different world. Kudos for her, but, of course, what else would you expect from an independent bookstore owner?! I hope that it is successful!
I can't even get to the woodshed and back these days... envy!
I hope the jaunt does some good for those who can't make the trip or protest in some other way.
It is almost impossible to take nuclear anything back once it has been released into the environment but people still toy with it and want to have a license to heat our homes and power our cars and make more x-rays of our bodies. I suppose it is here to stay but I still don't think anybody knows how best to contain it much less handle it.
Thank goodness for independent book stores.
Sorry I was not able to make it to your favorite photo posted yesterday. I look forward to your photos each morning.
Good for her. Doesn't problem prone mean anything????
All the Nuclear plants out here were shut down even before they were finished but the huge chimneys (or whatever they are called) are still standing.
Zone 8 for the Dawn viburnum. I bet they would freeze where you are. MB
Wow!!
That was a very long walk !!!!!
(Nothing for me .... LOL)
I admire anyone who stands by their convictions. Good for her!
Sunny :)
Kudos to Nancy. It's so difficult to protest effectively when the odds are stacked against us common folk, so I give her credit!
And thanks!
Nice portrait, Brattcat.
Hi Nancy! Looks like a healthy way to protest!
Oh, for a split second I thought she had walked over the ocean to Montpellier, stupid me.
What a lady!
I hope Nancy and friends got some good press coverage for their courageous effort. Beautiful portrait and great blog subject.
Great effort to focus attention on nuclear safety. I hope their effort has a positive effect.
Bravo to Nancy; that's quite a walk!
I did not know quite what you meant when your comment included "holmesian". There is an entire industry out there using this expression, tort law even. It is now in my vocabulary. Taa ...
I did not comment on this wonderful character study of the librarian, mainly because I am coming around to the thinking that nuclear power is the safest way for the future. Just a few short years ago I would not have dreamt that this could be a position I might have adopted.
Great tribute to a brave lady!
Dear friend I had problem wiht internet ,that was why I could not write..This picture makes deep imperession......,,,,,,,
Those old power plants were never meant to be kept in operation for so long. There's every reason to be concerned and I much admire citizens who go through that sort of effort to spread the word.
I hope their voice is heard...
