Only one time you had to shovel snow off your roof? LOL For you maybe. There’s been a couple of winters recently with record snow.
OTOH Connecticut has wonderful beaches and even some pretty good skiing.
I think it must be proximity to grandbabies.
On the bright side, all those smug liberals there will be overrun in days by the vermin in the close in major liberal cities. That NE alley is going to be a bloody pit when the SHTF and the gibsmedats find out the EBT no longer work, the stores are looted and empty, and they can only go as far as a tank of gas will take them.
That means Conn. with restrictive 2A laws and helpless honkies, hoooyahh!
Hartford at Rush hour is a suicide ride. Worse than Boston.
Living in Arizona I have the feeling you and I have a very different concept of 'rural'.
Why there?
Shady Glenn Cheeseburgers?
In spite of GWB’s cornpone accent, he and his whole family are a bunch of NE RINOs. Never cared for him.
I’ve learned all the back roads. Very scenic and picturesque and free of traffic snarls. But I agree the main roads like I-84, I-95 Merritt Parkway and other thoroughfares are as snarled as any Boston area traffic.
I actually like the very snowy weather as it gives me a reason to work at home and I get to spend evenings by the crackling fireplace, reading a good book and drinking a good bottle of wine.
Best thing about the snow is that it melts in the spring.
The beaches in CT aren't that great because you are looking at Long Island across the way and it doesn't really feel like you are on the ocean. But I usually take a week or two in summer and go to a real beach area like southern coast of LI or Outer Banks of NC. Yes, NJ has some nice beaches too.
I don't think of Arizona when I think rural. To me, rural is where man and nature can exist together and live off the land. There's not much "living off the land" to be done in arid deserts. Sure, it can be done but it will never be a Garden of Eden. Except maybe the upper levels of northern Arizona where some woodlands and more temperate climate conditions exist. Still too arid for my taste.
Yes, Bridgeport is one of the “armpits” of Connecticut for sure. There’s a few other towns to steer clear of like Waterbury, New Haven, and most of East Hartford. But name me any state and I’ll show you areas where you do not want to live. For instance Massachusetts has Lowell, Lawrence, Brockton, Chelsea, etc.
Last year I took a cross country motorcycle trip. I was coming back and had to ride I84 in from NY to I91 to get back to Western MA.
This was the end of an 8,000 mile trip.
I had driven through many of the large cities from here to California and back.
The last 40 miles into Hartford were the most harrowing. Cross whipping across lanes with no signals. The traffic would go from 80 MPH to 0 in what seemed like seconds.
Complete disregard for other drivers.
I grew up driving in Boston. So I am used to aggressive and unforgiving drivers.
This was horrible because the CT people were good drivers—they just did not care about who was behind them or beside them. They just used every space in traffic as their personal space.
When I got home I deemed them the best bad drivers in America.
I hate going into CT for anything.
I should add that I have to go down to the Barkhamsted area today and it is beautiful farmland, very much like upstate NY or Vermont. And it is closer to “civilization.”
The area down the western side of CT to Fairfield is nice, but way expensive.
Interested enough to comment on this thread. LOL !
Bad luck for the USA, however, to have such a small man in office at such a big moment in history.
I like him - and his wife.
She doesn't impress either.
And milkshakes.
I would be you would be more likely to run into a bear, deer, moose, coyote, mountain lion, or wolf in CT than in AZ.
