So now the <strong><em>Huletts Current<\/em><\/strong> is officially two years old. The day I started this adventure in blogging, my wife said; <em>&#8220;It will be difficult for you to find enough interesting tidbits during the winter when things are slow.&#8221;<\/em> So while things have been slow at times, I&#8217;ve at least tried to keep things interesting the last two years. <\/p>\n<p>I continue to look for a variety of information about those things that would interest you, the reader. The responses I received throughout the year have been generally positive and indicate that the <strong><em>Huletts Current<\/em><\/strong> continues to draw a significant readership. Hopefully you&#8217;ve gotten some enjoyment from the site and learned a thing or two when you&#8217;ve stopped by. I&#8217;m always looking for interesting interview candidates and if you have any info that you think other people would be interested in, I always enjoy hearing from you.  Some of the best ideas have been generated by many of you, so thank you for the ideas.<\/p>\n<p>To celebrate our second year, I wanted to share an email that I received which captures what I hoped to do with the <strong><em>Huletts Current<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dear George:<\/p>\n<p>My husband and I stayed at Huletts in 2007 and 2008. He has been ill and we have been unable to take a vacation the past two years. I just have to tell you how much I have enjoyed the web cams. I have been able to take a short &#8220;virtual vacation&#8221; when I get a spare moment. The cams have kept me close to a place I really love and enjoy. Sometimes I can almost smell the pine. Thank you and thank you to the people who have kept the links up and running.<\/p>\n<p>Gail Hoppe<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well Gail, it&#8217;s been my pleasure the last two years trying to update everyone about the <em>&#8220;goings-on&#8221;<\/em> in and around Huletts. My thanks go out also to our web-cam providers who are sharing their wonderful views.<\/p>\n<p>To recap the last year I thought I would link to the top 10 posts from our second year:<\/p>\n<p>1. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hulettscurrent.com\/index.php\/archives\/1765\" target=\"_blank\">Back to the Huletts School<\/a><br \/>\n2. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hulettscurrent.com\/index.php\/archives\/1629\" target=\"_blank\">Interview with School Board Candidate, Mark DeLuca<\/a><br \/>\n3. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hulettscurrent.com\/index.php\/archives\/1682\" target=\"_blank\">Local Catholic Church Renovation Plan Presented<\/a><br \/>\n4. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hulettscurrent.com\/index.php\/archives\/1601\" target=\"_blank\">Spring Smelt Run Started<\/a><br \/>\n5. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hulettscurrent.com\/index.php\/archives\/1714\" target=\"_blank\">Cell Phone Tower Update<\/a><br \/>\n6. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hulettscurrent.com\/index.php\/archives\/1455\" target=\"_blank\">An Interview with Olympic Athlete, Erin Hamlin<\/a><br \/>\n7. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hulettscurrent.com\/index.php\/archives\/16711\" target=\"_blank\">Whitehall Says NO to Growth, Jobs &#038; Expanded Tax Base<\/a><br \/>\n8. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hulettscurrent.com\/index.php\/archives\/1481\" target=\"_blank\">Cell Phone Tower in Firehouse\u2019s Future?<\/a><br \/>\n9. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hulettscurrent.com\/index.php\/archives\/1411\" target=\"_blank\">Absentee Ballots Counted: Town Board Race<\/a><br \/>\n10. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hulettscurrent.com\/index.php\/archives\/1719\" target=\"_blank\">Diseased Oak Tree Taken Down<\/a><\/p>\n<p>On to year three.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,2],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-1766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-history","category-the-landing","tag-add-new-tag"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hulettscurrent.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1766","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hulettscurrent.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hulettscurrent.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hulettscurrent.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hulettscurrent.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1766"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hulettscurrent.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1766\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hulettscurrent.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1766"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hulettscurrent.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1766"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hulettscurrent.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1766"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
