New England has a quite a sizable French Canadian population and many of us have connections with the Louisiana French via Le Grand Derangement, i.e. Cajun is the anglicized word for Acadian.

I am shocked to find out that the sky monorail didn't extend all of the way out to Orange.

Cars won

They didn’t say how far into the future. Hope springs eternal

Why pave roads when you have DIRIGIBLES?

So my husband and I are supposed to just up and move from a state that both of us have lived in our entire lives because we can't shovel? The only family we have also lives in this state, specifically my MIL who is 85, and lives in the same city and we help take care of. She is lucky that her younger neighbors help her shovel in the winter.

When we bought our home 30 years ago, our nextdoor neighbors were elderly and we immediately, without being asked, helped them every time it snowed and in return the wife made us the most wonderful popovers. Now that we are older, I would hope that our younger neighbors that now live in that house would give us a hand. We do have a snowblower and offered to let our neighbor use it for their property as well but instead they shovel a lame 6 inch path on their sidewalk for people to barely be able to walk on. What ever happened to people helping each other out?

And the one in the middle burned down.

We screwed up somewhere along the way.

What kind of a POS are you? I've lived in this state my entire life and I'm not about to move now because I struggle shoveling. And you suggest a shit hole like Florida - a facist state - go to hell!

Hey thanks for the advice!!

Had this. Same experience. Hilarious, confounded by the entire thing every placed I called

Try the Hampton (NH) Airport Cafe. If it’s a good day there may be small planes landing and taking off. Drive the (short)NH coast. Throwback Brewery is very close by. Lots of others too. Can’t give specifics but there should be plenty of antique stores in the area.

The Italian Kitchen? That one closed down about 5-6yrs ago.

Estimation, pacing, radar, lidar, and timing are all proper in MA.

Estimation is basically *exclusively* listed in conjunction with radar/lidar... as in, the officer first estimated the vehicle traveling greater than the posted speed limit, then used technology to confirm and determine the exact speed.

There is a Ch/Sec for "faster than reasonable" for conditions"... where estimated would be proper in and of itself... but you wouldn't have the specific dollar fine amount that is calculated based on actual speed / posted limit.

Cool but also, disappointing, I want to see airships

Both of you guys are blowing my mind right now.

So you're telling me I can fly for about $25K-$50K?

And unregulated? Can you expand on that?

Screw the train, why isn't everyone just flying to Orange?

I had a similar situation when I moved here from NW Ohio where there is a large Polish population and I missed Paczkis. Grocery store Paczkis are just donuts. Coffee Time in Salem does house-made, hand-rolled Paczkis.

They also make King Cake. I haven't had one, but I have seen them and they look amazing.

Ahhh. Brought back memories of when I tried King Cake at a pot luck for the first time and got the plastic baby in my slice. I still have no idea what it means.

You have a magistrate date. This is like a preliminary hearing, so you can plead down the charge to like half off. If it's economical for you to go to the court house, then go. It usually works if you are dressed well and apologetic. If you live more than a 2 hour drive away, it might not be worth it to fight in time or money.

Literally just told my wife this morning that a town with money's like a mule with a spinning wheel. No one knows how he got it, and dammed if he knows how to use it!

I've only seen the black and white one of Reading, I would love to own a copy of it but haven't been able to figure out a search phrase to find it. Hopefully this will help!

somebody sat on the building with the turret, and now it is flat

That sounds like a fun tradition! I think I'll have to take up a similar tradition although I'm a terrible baker.

You might be onto something with that explanation. With this weather though, maybe Mardi Gras has a chance for a surge in popularity.

I call bullshit.

The ring came off my pudding can!
