Probably not so much in the summer? ;)

" when an insurance company nickels and dimes your repair? "

There's is the problem. Most lawyers don't work for nickels and dimes so you would end up spending thousands of dollars above and beyond those nickels and dimes you are trying to save.

So Shirley and Harvard will be fine about it? ;)

Stupid poll. Take your downvote.

How about one of the islands (Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket)?

The Annual Nantucket Christmas Stroll is December 2-4 which is always fun although the hotel prices will of course be higher than if you go before or after. Nantucket does tend to close down a lot of stuff right after stroll however. Not sure what the Vineyard is like during December.

It is where Dracula is from, hence the name, short for Dracula's Hut. True story!

Are you actually referring to Dracut as being on the North Shore?

My solution is simple. If the vehicle coming towards you have lights that seem like they are on high, I simply turn my high beams on. If they turn their high beams off, then so do I. If instead if they flash their high beams to show me they are using their low beams, then I simply leave my highs on so I can see where I am going. My responsibility is to make sure I can see when their lights make it difficult even if it means using my highs against their overly bright lows.

Thanks Corey but we already knew that.

Unfortunately most onramps in MA seem to have yield signs on them (usually well back from where you actually merge onto the highway) so that is part of the problem. And then there are some onramps where you simply can not get to speed and merge onto the road without dying such as Rt. 1 in the Saugus area or Rt. 2 in the Fitchburg area. The on-ramps come in a sharp curve and then only give you 50 feet before you are fully on the highway so no real way to gain any speed coming out of the curve onto the main road.

Carry pepper spray if you are concerned about being attacked. Probably much more effective than you fumbling to unfold a pocket knife which then has to be used very close to your attacker.

Your stories are just the worst.

>The state law sets a cap of $2.91B in tax revenue.

No it doesn't. That is the amount over the revenue cap which is set yearly by a calculation so it is a moving target. This law was enacted in the 1980s I think and this is only the second time we have ever trigger it.

Nope, all yours. ;)

What is I really meant the metal? 😜

I don't think so. I think when I wrote it I mean present tense since most of the races were still being counted everywhere so I considered the elections still ongoing. But now I don't recall. :)

Are you implying its a "Man's Job" ? ;) Just teasing you back.

This was one of those questions that was going to have zero immediate effect either way.

Only a couple/few places were up against the current cap anyway so there was really no demand for more licenses. So if it passed no stores would be rushing to grab more licenses.

On the flip side, all the bill was really meant to do was stop the big chains from putting forth their own question next time. Since it failed they can, but we don't have to worry about that for another couple years.

A lot of horse farms up that way. Horse farms mean money. Money means no-like taxes.

My mistake is everyone's gain. Upvotes for all the great electrician jokes.

Thanks Dad! 😆

Ha I just before poked fun at the post where they said the Green Party outvoted the "librarians". That'll learn me!

Damn those libraries and their Dewey Decimal system to swing the vote.

This is correct under the new rules.

If you get your sticker in the same calendar year that it expired (example expired in June and you reinspect in Nov) then the new sticker will now be dated to the expiration date, not the date inspected. So your new sticker in my example will still be June.

If your sticker expired in the previous calendar year, then your new sticker will be January of the current calendar year and expiring the following January. So you got a January 2022 sticker set to expire January 2023.

Sorry man.
