Yep. My side of the family came over in 1634. Fought at Bunker Hill etc. Wife's side came over on the Mayflower. Fought at Lexington etc. They also sold boats to some guy named Guillaume in 1066.
Absolutely agree with speed limit observation as well. Public service notice to Southern and West Coast drivers: Posted speed limits in the New England states are a suggestion for how fast to go on a dark, rainy night if you're a brand-new driver who's never seen the road before. The rest of us will be going much, much faster. Please stay in the middle lane or one of the middle lanes [emergency flashers are strongly advised if you're going below about 65] so we're free to pass on the right or left as traffic permits.
CT sometimes has a couple of weeks of spring or fall between rice-in-your-saltshakers and calcium-chloride-on-your-driveway.
