"Can I have Fries with that"

For anyone not initiated. You will get an earful if you ask for fries.

Potato chips or the door are the options.

My mother was a Tanner. Willis was the town selectman for a long time.

Wow. Yeah. I'm glad I prefaced that with, I can't speak for the neighbors. Sorry to hear it's worse than I knew.

And I totally forgot about the damn chickens. I don't often go up the hairpin turn any more but yeah, pretty much anytime I have those chickens were in the road.

I sometimes go hiking in the stone preserve. My grandfather also has a plot named for him up there which is more of an open field as far as I know. I never went out and looked for a trail.

Honesly it never bothered me though. I live relatively close, but not a neighbor of them. So i cannot speak for them. But they did restrict how they can fly in, what path they can use and also they use some sort of quiet mode that really cuts back on noise.

We have a lot of flyovers in this area. A fair amount of military craft pass over pretty low a few times a year and that is far more noticeable. I would say they only fly in or out on the helicopter five or six times a year that i actually notice.

Indeedily doo, howdy neighbor

A guy up the road from me has a helicopter pad and a private pilot, pop in and ask him if you can borrow it.

/s

not about the helicopter pad though, and the helicopter

Your parents'. lol

Really though, you just have to shop around. Either a broker or just search yourself. Insurance companies change their rates based on data they collect frequently. I had progressive for a decade, it was by far the cheapest when i got it. Other companies quoted me double.

Then a year ago progressive raised my rate significantly. I called allstate (one of the most expensive when i was first shopping) and they came up under what i was paying with progressive by far.

This is second hand from troopers I know. There have been a lot of changes to the pensions and rules so a lot of guys are retiring early or not joining due to uncertainty

Not saying it's true, just providing word from the horses mouth.

All i would say is venture out a little.

Thrift stores in wealthier areas have better stuff.

A goodwill/savers in south western CT have nicer stuff getting donated.

It's pronounced 'Main Street'

I didn't backpedal anything. Please explain to me.

What is the most radical thing that democrats are doing. Specifically

Then tell me the most radical thing republicans are doing. There are a lot, so feel free to list a few.

Apparently radical is defined by

Trying to make healthcare available to all

Trying to make critical drugs affordable (blocked by gop)

Trying to reduce gas and oil prices (blocked by gop)

Trying to tax the ultra wealthy at a more appropriate level (blocked by gop)

Trying to push green energy to make us less reliant on fossil fuels.

And generally trying to act like a first world, civilized nation.

Ok, i hope that helps you sleep at night knowing the party you appear to support attempted to overthrow the very country that party claims to defend. I sleep fine knowing Democrats are at least attempting to put those criminals in prison.

All of the very real evidence that has come out of the January 6th hearings; The current republican leadership who is tearing down the constitution; the idiot representatives and candidates who have no business in politics, barely being a janitor. The overall open indifference or even reverence for an attempted coup on the United states. And that is the MAJORITY of the GOP.

The democrats are attempting to assign responsibility and pass judgement on a crime we all watched happen. We are railing against the absolute barrage of lies that republicans spew. On top of that we have already had two republicans in disguise who stonewalled our party this last term. We also had supreme court judges who either are openly bias; unqualified, married to a seditionist, or accused of multiple sexual crimes where the investigation was recently described as a sham.

There are two very different sides; and the side who is on the right side of history....is the left.

Fuck seditious fascists.

While Bob may not have a direct connection i can think of to the current breed of republican crazies we see today, he is however willingly part of the fascist party.

I cannot in good conscience vote for any candidate in any office who willingly supports the republican party in its current state.
