I actually don’t think there is an east coast solution, gotta go to the other coast. I would venture to say that CT is desirable from an east coast weather standpoint because you can almost always be outside year round and manage it; this year aside after you acclimate to the colder weather being in the 20’s and 30’s on a sunny day is not unpleasant. If you prefer cooler summers go a little north or warmer winters go just a little south. When you go south of Jersey you start to have the opposite problem. In Florida you stay inside all summer just like we do all winter, it’s too hot and rainy.

It may have been as simple as getting gas. I don’t take my kids out getting gas, that would also be a stupid decision to expose them to moving traffic and unknown predators whole I’m occupied operating the pump. I do take my keys out of the car, and lock it, but my wife’s key fob will start the car with me standing at the passenger side door. We know because we’ve tested this when we heard these types of thefts were happening around us. So when I get gas, I rig the pump to stay on with my gas cap and stand back. Even then people carry repeaters now that boost the signal of your key…super low tech and cheap to be had…considering getting an RFID pouch for just this purpose; steal the car but just leave the kids.

The cameras work just fine, the problem is whatever someone chose to program to respond to that data. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Those aren’t traffic cameras they are cameras to operate the lights instead of just inductive sensors in the ground. The cameras can see what’s there and relays the data to the controller to react accordingly to minimize traffic, idle time, or missed reads from the ground sensors motorcycles and bicycles.

It’s too bad people can’t fathom that “global” doesn’t mean local either. 🤦🏼‍♂️

In either case I think the problem exists more broad than some politicized argument; nobody is coming up with solutions either, we are all stuck leaving a footprint for food, basic energy needs, commuting, etc.

I’m in the field of sustainable energy so people feel the need to tell me constantly about how that one weekend saying something along the line of “see told you it’s just New England weather, pff global warming,” reminding me of where my username came from.

As long as it’s clearly sick time (say in the instance of PTO with no policy to delineate how much of it is sick time they may have to pay out). Here is the source though to support your point.

Shiel v. Rowell, 480 Mass. 106 (2018) Upholds the "Massachusetts rule" that "an individual whose property is damaged by a neighbor's healthy tree has no cause of action against a landowner of the property upon which the tree lies." Property owners who are disturbed by their neighbor's trees are "not without recourse," though. They remain free to remove any part of the tree that crosses the property line.

Ponte v. DaSilva, 388 Mass. 1008 (1983). "The failure of a landowner to prevent the blowing or dropping of leaves, branches, and sap from a healthy tree onto a neighbor's property is not unreasonable and cannot be the basis of a finding of negligence or private nuisance."

Kurtigan v. City of Worcester, 348 Mass. 284 (1965) (Superseded by Statute as Stated in Hanna v. Town of Framingham, Mass. App. Ct., February 11, 2004) City was held liable for damages caused by limbs of dead tree falling from property which city acquired for nonpayment of taxes. "Public policy in a civilized community requires that there be someone to be held responsible for a private nuisance on each piece of real estate, and, particularly in an urban area, that there be no oases of nonliability where a private nuisance may be maintained with impunity."
