Very true. Dangerous even in a boat. I’m thinking the mud flats between Windsor and South Windsor by the island at the mouth of the Farmington on a very good day would be the only option. I’ve seen people walk across in the dead of summer a few years ago.

Guy who built it is co-chief of world's largest hedge fund, I'm learning, so that may be correct. However, one man's tax shelter could be beneficial to the public, I guess?

Thank you I'll look into this again. I did provide my insurance with all the info and they didn't really do much

Never thought of it as a cult. More like rich people funneling money into a church to keep the tax man away.

Insurance doesn't follow the person it follows the vehicle. It's likely that if the vehicle was stolen, it would have been reported to the owners insurance. They may have some more context on how to pursue.

I’ve done New Haven to Philly in under 3, but yours might be more impressive here.

The plate # was reported stolen from the police data base when I told them it at the scene. no one knows who was driving or I would have gone after their insurance/ sued civilly

To protect and serve was painted on LA police cruisers after seventeen year old kid came up with it. It isn't based on any mandate or rule anywhere. It's a PR device.

Why not report it to your insurance carrier? We have resources to be able to search plates and registration, as well as locating their insurance.
Also, how do we know that the vehicle is stolen? There's some awful drivers in Connecticut.

If you want to read more specifics, I found this helpful. It's from an advocacy organization, so it's one sided, but it addresses the standard complaints against RCV:

Qualified immunity may soon be gone. I know it’s been on the table here for a while but I think they may take it away soon.

Maybe it is what is presented but the 60+ year old cynical me does not trust any religious organization or foundation.

Orchard Hill Bakery in Riverton is such a great spot! We are obsessed with Joan’s Sourdough.
Also, Norbrook Brewery in Colebrook is just a few minutes away and they have a lovely property with trails (cross country skiing, mountain biking and hiking) along with a disc golf course (seasonal). They also make pizza! It’s cozy with board games inside and they sometimes have live music.
In Norfolk there is a music venue (Infinity) which has been “dormant” but recently they have been booking shows again. If you see something booked that you might like to see it’s a beautiful little venue.
Noujaims in Winsted is one of our favorite local places to eat. George just won 2023 experts choice for Mediterranean in CT Mags best restaurants.

I think the point is RCV would allow for legitimate 3rd (and 4th and 5th) choices that would benefit everyone. There are plenty of Democratic voters, for example, that would be interested in voting for a different, perhaps even more liberal candidate if it didn't mean implicitly supporting the nominated Republican.

What suburbs with density levels the same as suburbs of Stamford have train access in EU?

Not to mention cops don’t even have a duty to protect and serve. The oath is meaningless both legally and demonstrated with how they behave.
