Make it a toll road with checkpoints I guess. Give locals a free pass.

There's more than one perspective here. As someone who unashamedly uses a service for driveway plowing:

Sure, we could buy a tractor or a plow for our truck. All of which would mean we sent our money out of state/paid a corporation/paid interest on a loan for years. We'd also then have to service, maintain, and safely operate said equipment, all of which is a bit of a learning curve.

Or...crazy idea...we could pay our neighbor, who provides a service for a living, and keep him and his money in state. Even if one time he got stuck in our driveway and had to come back with more equipment, or if one time he booked a vacation (probably months in advance) and gambled wrong about the big storms being over for the year.

We would expect notice that he was gonna be gone...but FFS people. OP isn't asking for a handout, they're trying to hire a professional.

It's just a rash. If it were a mole I would raise hell. Thank you for letting me know they have options for really emergent things.

I'd drive to Burlington for this, can always toss in a Costco trip as well. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah fortunately it's not something like that, just an annoying rash. Glad they have some sort of emergency provision though. Skin cancer metastasizes so fast!

Can't get in with dermatology anywhere. Really, really need a dermatologist. Could be worse but not fun.

I can't even get in at DHMC in a timely fashion, though it's gotten better in recent months.

Really? I kind of want this now.

We sprinkle wood ash on ours.

Cape Air and then public transit in the city is what we do.

I just want to thank you for this post because I almost forgot my own salon appointment tomorrow. I hope you find a good stylist!

So, the town is on the hook for the tow and $80 a day in storage costs, but things look nicer now...so that worked out well for Hartford overall?
