Hiking when I can. Giving snowshoes a try this year. Curl up on the sofa with a cup of tea and a book.

Your complex doesn't require renters insurance? Every complex I've lived in for the past 10 years required it. Weird that they don't.

These are great suggestions. OP, cross country skiing is a great option. Full disclosure: I am not a skier. My husband loves it, though. He got second hand gear-very affordable-and has found a ton of trails to use.

While this bill is fucking idiotic (what possible fair and reciprocal reason could you have to ban future research and proposals?) and I like the idea of a Manchester to Boston line, I’ve never seen anyone show me money numbers that made any sense. Fleets of electric buses are presently far more feasible and affordable.
ETA: I just emailed them asking them to kill the bill, expressing my concern that closing out one option in perpetuity in spite of an uncertain future could harm the citizens and economy of the state. You guys should, too, it’s easy.

I'm furious, they know we are getting closer and closer to rail finally returning to this state. Connecting nashua-manch-concord to the Boston metropolitan area would do wonders for our economy and the environment. It only hurts big oil and the auto industry, conveniently the guys lobbying against it and donating to the legislators.
Please please please reach out. We cannot afford to go backwards, this project will fix traffic and help our fuel and heat oil prices stay low by dramatically reducing oil use from automobiles. Also uh the environment lol

This is because certain politicians have a stake in the bus lines and park and ride stops that are leased to the state. Not to mention the Auto Dealers Organization and all the people worried that Passenger trains providing decent affordable ways to Boston for jobs would gentrify the state too much and make it too "woke".
I have lived here most of my life and seen this state actively fight anything that would bring in new people to live and not just visit. The state complains we don't have progress or money to do things but then actively fights anything that would bring that in.
​
This reminds me of NH fighting Real ID until the Feds said NO MORE FUNDING if you don't comply.

You realize that fascists are an edge case right - so just about everyone is anti-fascist by default.

We just wasted $10 M+ to take down a balloon. I think we can spend a little for some infrastructure.

Thanks OP. I emailed and suggested ITL.

Then say that.
DON'T come out and say that there is some altruistic motivation.

Reply to Will hiking in early-mid May be a problem? by Albinkiiii
As others have said it will depend on a few factors but in any given year it is completely normal and expected to not just encounter mud, but overflowing streams, ice, and stubborn snowpack. April and May are generally unpleasant for hiking.

The State House continues to be a big, gold-domed clown car.

We should do the same for all services: fire, police, roads, airports, and the marines!

Every new development will be a "money grab". Do you think a developer shouldn't try to get a much profit as possible without fraud? If this is successful, they'll have more capital to continue increasing the housing supply, which will marginally reduce/slow the rise of rents and make buying cheaper (the two are correlated even if these aren't being sold).
