Careful though. Looks like one slip up and you could lose three fingers on those beaver teeth.

I was there last month (we go every year on our way to the Topsfield Fair). No upcharge for the tartar sauce, it just came with the plates. I had the clam roll. It was OK. We mostly go for the pre-fair tradition and have a couple beers.

Never been to JT Farnham's

Yeah a lot of people register their car in a new state and fail to cancel their registration in the previous state. While it will of course get cancelled in due course due to no active MA insurance on it, doing it that way can cause problems if you come back.

I never want to wake up at 6am period!

Until he was late to his student visa renewal appointment by an hour and was then deported. Not so funny then, was it! 😜

Probably for most people those places are out of the way and some distance to get to. Where as every town has a scattering of those donation bins in and around the places you normally are going to be on a daily basis, so easier to just take the bag to the bin in the parking lot at the grocery store..

Don't forget standing around it sipping a beer and enjoying the burning foam rubber fumes. 😆

They do. That is where I took mine this part summer I mentioned. I actually had made an appointment with the RMV and then kept checking AAA. When an earlier appointment opened up I grabbed it and registered my car there. Then I cancelled my upcoming RMV appointment (no way I was going to cancel it until I knew I was all set with the AAA attempt).

Now that I am thinking about it more, I bought it from a private seller and was transferring the plates from another car so I didn't need plates. If you need plates, then maybe that is different with AAA, so yeah, you should check that.

Good luck!

Just checked and if you have a AAA membership, they are still taking appointments. Might be worth it to get a basic membership for one year just for this if you don't already have one.

Yeah I just looked and I am also not seeing a registration link for appointments. I just did a car in the summer and made an appointment online, so it certainly was there then, but I am not seeing it now.

On this page... https://rmvmassdotappt.cxmflow.com/Appointment/Index/2c052fc7-571f-4b76-9790-7e91f103c408 (hope that link works) it seems to imply walk in service for registration...

Easy for you to say if you are not paying $10k for the removal of a lot of large trees. Just like you won't be paying for the increased costs to cool my home in the summer now that I no longer have the natural and free cooling effect of shade on my house. Removing trees is not without consequences and like my example, the benefit of doing so from one season is often offset by the loss of that benefit from the opposite season.

And as a sales rep, by definition everything you say is likely not exactly true or accurate. Just get the signature on the contract is likely your boss's motto.

Funny how you read into post all kind of things that were not at all stated. Not sure how you got politics from my post at all. Where did I blame either party or specific politician other than in your own head? You seemed a little triggered there sir.

My point is where we are solar panels are supplemental especially the smaller scale systems installed on private homes. In the dead of winter there is no way solar panels alone can take care of all the needs for electricity in a house especially if you are going to try and heat via heat pumps to further reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.

On a side note, my house is likely one of the worse for solar panels with no south facing roof section and many tall trees around my house which would need to be removed for maximum solar exposure.

> And no, we aren’t wasting tax payer money to try and help human beings.

You are just waiting your breath. Neocons are never happy unless they are directly causing pain and suffering to actual people they don't approve of. They are thrilled when they can pass some law and then immediate go hurt someone with it.

We are too far North and of course in Winter here the sun is low in the sky during the short daylight hours. While solar panels are a nice supplement, they are not the solution they are in places like Southern California.

>The article is about natural gas, not gasoline. Saving on gasoline won’t help us this winter.

True but keep in mind that about 1/4 of Massachusetts homes heat with oil rather than gas or electricity or other means, so heating oil (diesel fuel) and gasoline prices tend to go hand in hand as they are refined from the same source. But yes, getting a little off the topic of Natural Gas supplies.

They won't give you the option if you are not getting a real ID because "if your citizenship has not been confirmed by the RMV, MassHealth, or the Health Connector, you will not be registered to vote." And if you are not providing the documents to the RMV for a Read ID license then they can not have confirmed your citizenship and therefore they are not going to register you to vote.

Yes I understand that but I find it illogical (because I am Spock) that I can walk around cities streets with a concealed weapon (legally with a license to carry), but if I am out in the woods mostly alone and carrying a rifle or shotgun, a concealed handgun is now considered too much?

By the way, I am by no means one of those pro-gun people, I am actually all for reasonable gun control, but I do find many laws for many things to be contradictory or to have been implemented in ways that simply do not make sense. This certainly sounds like one of them.

Understood but my question still stands, how do we have no unidentified (presumed homicides) bodies prior to 1974 in a place that has existed with laws for centuries?

To get a Real ID you need to prove you are a citizen. Therefore immigrants who get a license will only get a standard license which will clearly state it isn't a federal ID. As such there will be no "voter registration" going on with that person by the RMV.

In addition, most people here undocumented are not going to try and register to vote because "non-citizen who submits a voter registration application may be subject to deportation proceedings." and why would they go out of their way to make themselves a focus of immigration officials?

Am I the only one that is more shocked that a 1970s murder is the "oldest unidentified homicide case" in Massachusetts? Did we solve all the other ones from the past century or two or where all the ones previous to 1974 just closed out with no findings?

>So the only explicit law is around archery season you cannot carry any firearm.

Is that true even if you have a general license to carry? Seems odd that you could have a license from your local cop that allows you to walk around town with a concealed weapon but once you step out into the woods you have to lock that weapon up in the car?

Salem, cause everyone will be gone then.

A quick overview of how car insurance works in MA. The insurance is with the car and you assign a primary driver to the car on policy, You are allowed to lend your car to anyone you want and they are covered when borrowing your car even though they are not on the policy. However the caveat to that is anyone living in the same household as you must listed on the policy as a secondary driver to be covered. This is under the assumption that people living together with likely borrow each others car more often than anyone not living with the car's owner.

If the dad has the car policy and neither of you is listed on policy you could get away with that if anything happened by your dad telling the agency he lent the car to whichever one of you for that day. But if you wanted to do it right, he should change the "garaging" location to your address, list your partner on the policy as the primary driver and then you as secondary. Note that the insurance cost may change do to change of address and the records and experience of the primary driver. So if she is a relatively new driver or your town is considered higher crime than dad's, these could drive up the premium.
