They are a big money family, plus, that's where the Applebee's comparison comes in, inexplicably popular despite being mediocre in every way. Plus, the average person has no idea about any of that. I know because I mention it all the time and no one knows what I'm talking about and we live here! It's always busy there. And non beer snobs love those smoothie things.

As far as sours, depends on what I'm looking for. An easy drinker, the New Park Blenders, something more funky, OEC or Fox Farm (though New Park does make some solid bottled sours too). I still haven't made it to Area2, but from what I've heard I'll be a fan.

My gf works for lego and she was told they have to work 3 days at the office. Everyone is really pissed about the move. It's dumb to make someone drive to a office when they can do the exact same where ever they want. As long as the work gets done who cares. Well boomers do. That's for sure. I work remotely and go into the office when needed. I've never been happier. Capitalism is about greed and control. They want to ring every minute of work out of you as they can. And if you aren't in the office they can't do that

Connecticut Turnpike

>The Connecticut Turnpike (officially the Governor John Davis Lodge Turnpike) is a controlled-access highway and former toll road in the U.S. state of Connecticut; it is maintained by the Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT). Spanning approximately 128 miles (206 km) along a generally west–east axis, its roadbed is shared with Interstate 95 (I-95) for 88 miles (142 km) from the New York state border in Greenwich to East Lyme; I-395 for 36 miles (58 km) from East Lyme to Plainfield; and State Road 695 (SR 695) for four miles (6. 4 km) from Plainfield to the Rhode Island state line at U.S. Route 6 (US 6) in Killingly.

Not surprising. I-95 in CT exceeded it's capacity by 1965.

>The Connecticut Turnpike opened southwest Connecticut to a mass migration of New Yorkers, leading to substantial residential and economic growth in Fairfield and New Haven counties. The turnpike became a primary commuter route to New York City. With additional segments of I-95 that opened in the 1960s connecting to Providence and Boston, the turnpike became an essential route for transporting people and goods throughout the Northeast. As a result, much of the turnpike had become functionally obsolete by 1965, with traffic exceeding its design capacity.

>Originally designed to carry 60,000 vehicles per day (VPD) on the four-lane sections and 90,000 VPD on the six-lane portion west of New Haven, the turnpike carried 75,000–100,000 VPD east of New Haven, and 130,000–200,000 VPD between New Haven and the New York state line as of 2006.

Wear your cowboy hat. I wear a lot of different hats including cowboy. My favorite is my Amish hat. Goes good with my beard and is a great conversation starter. If your looking to fit in more then wear a baseball hat with either a golfing logo paired with cargo shorts and NB sneakers or one with a chainsaw logo to be worn with jeans and workboots. Back pocket dip is optional.
