WHAT? Are they for real???

I heard a story on the WCAX news tonight that has sent me into such a tizzy that i JUST MIGHT go to their website and see if I can't post an editorial note....

There is a company from Burlington (who shall remain nameless since I believe that they have already received TOO MUCH mention from the CAX coverage) that is donating some HUGE amount of diapers to VT moms. The diapers have flaws in their cloth coverings, so the company won't sell them on the regular market.

At this point you are probably asking yourself why I would have a problem with this. Excellent question. Read on.....

The company will be distributing them at location X (again, to remain undisclosed) tomorrow morning for a few hours. Come on by and grab some diapers.

So?

Ok, call me CRAZY, but......doesn't it seem that the Moms (errr...KIDS) who would most benefit from the free diaper give away would be those kids with Moms on the LOWER END of the economic spectrum? You know, the ones who probably don't have a reliable means of transportation?

SO HOW THE HECK ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO GET TO THE LOCATION TO GET THE FREE DIAPERS????

It just doesn't make sense? I wonder why the philanthropic company didn't just distribute the diapers to neighborhood clinics throughout the state????

egads. Off to try some fish chowder.
