I see on the State Bond Commission agenda that Gov. Rell plans Friday to release $15 million to spend on the design of the New Britain to Hartford busway. The money will also be used to start buying up property that’s in the way.
I’ll believe it when I see it. I still can’t imagine who’s [...]
Just over the West Hartford line, on Simsbury Road, a fellow this morning left his car running outside before going to work. He looked out and saw someone trying to steal it, according to The Hartford Courant. The guy ran out to try to stop the theft, struggled with the crook and wound up getting [...]
Leave it to someone from the West Hartford-based 143rd Military Police unit to write a book of poetry about his experiences in Iraq. Though Captain Gregory Robert Samuels lives in Mansfield, it might be worth checking out his War Poems from Iraq.
I don’t agree with all of this, but it’s interesting…

Out there chopping ice so I could clear the sidewalk this morning, I watched with pure envy as neighbor after neighbor fired up some monster snowblower and started in. Yeah, they’re an environmental disaster. And, yeah, they’re wasteful. And, yeah, they’re pretty costly for the amount of use they get.
And, yeah, I really want one.
Thankfully, [...]
Today’s Courant has an interesting, and well done, story about town council member Barbara Carpenter’s bid to become the next president of the West Hartford Education Association, the teacher’s union here.
Carpenter, a political independent, told the paper she’ll step down from the council if she wins the part-time union job. She’s a kindergarten teacher at [...]
This morning, before the snow started coming down in earnest, I went to the grocery store. In terms of creativity, this was not one of my finer moments. Nor, I have to say, is heading to Waldbaums shortly before a snowstorm something that a smart man would do. But I did it. And I admit [...]
