Yes, I know someone who did just that. Landed in pine trees and broke dozens of bones. Was found by my friend's dog while hiking.

He lived another decade, and then died recently by suicide. Mental illnesses can be brutal, especially since they interfere with living a normal life. One has to give up many dreams (medical school, career, etc) just to focus on making it through the day.

As a Simsbury native, I can attest to the idea that immediate reactions are popular in a town full of executives & professionals who move there for safety and quiet. Also, the public schools are top notch.

Park dump trucks on Whalley Ave in both left lanes, and on Long Wharf from dusk to dawn. That'll cut down on racing. Make roads narrow and it'll be unsafe to speed.

Yale employee here. Yale Parking and Transit doesn't offer garage passes to motorcycles. You won't be able to park there.

A parking spot costs someone feeding a meter $18 per day. If the city gains tax revenues from the restaurant, presumably it'd be more than that? Free parking Sundays. Maybe their outdoor dining could be on wheels for Sunday deployment?

Also, College St is delightful with the flexible bollards blocking one lane (and dozens of meters), causing major traffic headaches. Will they be removing these obstacles?

DiLustro Jewelers, East Haven. There's a city bus stop across the street.

Sounds awesome!!

Bring on some Carl Cox, Paul van Dyk, Orbital, and DJ Tiesto!

You get moxie when you believe in yourself.

What's your budget? Dinner for 2 at Union League can run over $200 easily.

Wrenchrite in Branford, next to Town Fair Tire. Great people and excellent work, especially if you have junkyard parts to install (much cheaper this way).

There's a Park & Ride off I95 North, exit 51, which is for the airport on the East Haven side. Terminal is in New Haven. Take an Uber from there, about $8.

Street address for Park & Ride: 61 and 25 Kimberly Av, East Haven.

There's an Alabama St near the harbor. Could be a neighborhood thing.

The pretzel, if they still have it...

My friend DJ Christie is on site at Geronimo Fri and Sat nights for dance music! She was my wedding DJ.

There's a soup kitchen at Wall and Temple Streets near New Haven Green called Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen (DESK). Hot meal, and a chance to socialize.

Keep a window cracked open in your vehicle on the street side, not sidewalk side, to let moisture out. Fogged up windows draws a ton of attention, and the mold/mildew that grow in the moist environment is dangerous to your lungs. If you have a sunroof, leaving it cracked open while you're away from vehicle will help air it out without inviting thieves.

Saturday night DJ Christie spins up some awesome music at Geronimo. Great south western US vibe.

The Yale Shuttle buses are free to all riders, and no ID is necessary. Ride your bike to a Yale bus stop (or just ride on your own time) and take the free 24hr shuttle to the hospital.

I enjoy taking my dog to parking garages on weekends (less traffic) to throw a ball and run around without getting soaked in the rain or snow. Just be sure to wash doggo's paws when you get home to remove any oil from their pads.

CT law states that gas stations must provide FREE air for motorists during times they're open. Gas station attendants have a switch inside at the counter (and some air stations have a switch on the side), which disables the payment function.

Many gas stations accept "free" air pumps from private sellers whose "digital diagnostic" pumps are activated by payment. The seller installs and maintains the pump and keeps the profit. The "payment bypass" switch the gas station attendant activates usually inactivates these added "features," but still allows for basic use.

Or, we could all reduce our usage, install solar panels, and explore regional wind projects.
