7:30 PM ? Why so early ? Some of our matches back in the days started at 12 midnight.
Oh the memory of the night my over 30's team with no subs held the Glastonbury high school team loaded with players to a 3-2 loss. Couldn't sleep a wink that night my body was so sore.

Based on the negative responses claiming speed cameras do more harm than good, I did a quick search on the effectiveness of speed cameras and found reports that they help save lives and serious injury when comparing states and sites where they are in use to places that don't use them. For example, here's what the CDC reported: https://www.cdc.gov/transportationsafety/calculator/factsheet/speed.html

I spotted a flock in Wilton last week and I had two toms in my yard a few days ago.

It depends what your coverage is. Without giving way too much personal information then is appropriate for Reddit it would be hard to know if this is a good rate. There are so many factors when it comes to rating. The best way to know that you are getting a good rate is to get a few quotes from independent agents or get a few quotes yourself and compare coverage and pricing.

> “If it is hallucinogenic, by its very nature, by how we refer to it, you’re going to be seeing something that’s either not there or amplified in some way and my guess is you really need to have good vision and be aware of your surroundings while you’re driving,” he said.
"It's ok, officer, I have 20/20 vision. Sure, there are a lot of bats out here today, but am able to dodge them every time. Plus, I can read minds. I mean, I don't know the words you're thinking but the color is definitely purple, with little flashes of yellow."

Red-light cameras undermine rule of law
>Specifically, use of these cameras could violate the Sixth Amendment. The Confrontation Clause grants criminal defendants the right to be confronted with the witnesses against them. Since it is a camera and not a person that witnessed the offense, such violations generally cannot be considered a criminal offense. The ticket is issued to the owner of the vehicle, not to the person driving it, leaving a lack of certainty as to the identity of the offender.
> Therefore, the “ticket” in most places is nothing more than a civil fine, making enforcement and collection difficult. To date, governments have avoided this problem by requiring payment of the fine before motorists can renew their driver’s license or auto registration. Although there generally are appeals procedures, they typically do not give drivers a day in court. In other words, what happened to being innocent until proven guilty?

The word fentanyl is used to describe any narcotic that is cut with fentanyl. So it most likely was not strait fentanyl.

Not closed just no one was working at 10pm.
It was a major project much like our state it is years long. I knew I was in a construction zone and I’m sure I saw a sign about speed trap. Just let my speed get away from me.

Reply to What is the cheapest way to get ductless mini splits or central air installed? by MormonReformist
Do mini splits and hire a professional who has extensive experience with these systems. They're going to be making holes in your house—you want someone who's done it dozens of times. And you need someone who understands the most efficient way to heat and cool your home. Do it once, do it right, and it'll be cheaper in the long run.
I don't know what your home is like but 16k seems like a reasonable price if you have, say, one condenser and 4-5 heads. I second the advice to take out a CT heat loan. Less than 1% interest and you will almost certainly spend less on the loan than you would on the existing utility bills. Also, there are lots of rebates and credits this year. We are getting about 18% of the cost back to us.
Finally, get two additional quotes. We got one quote that was 20k higher than the others, and the company did a whole song and dance about how they have a whole TEAM of professionals and they clean up at the end of the day blah blah blah. I'm confident that they would have done good work but I don't need to pay a 20k premium to cover their costs and have the work be done in four days instead of six, you know?

Does that make them undeserving of rehabilitation and reintroduction into society? There's surely a broader discussion to be had about conditions contributing to acts of crime besides the person arbitrarily choosing to do them, and whether prison is an actual deterrent to crime, but even if we assume all crimes are simply a matter of choice, does that make my first question less pertinent?
