It's a shame we didn't pick a very tall person as governor, the sun sets slightly later for them.

Anyone hear military jets around 10am near Hartford? Heard the boom and saw two flying west over Hartford.

You win the honorarium of 'Official Connecticut Dad Joke Of The Day'. You can try to pick up the Certificate in Hartford, but it will probably be too dark before you arrived.

While funny, LED bulbs are cheap and efficient. I’m starting to think I’m the outlier who barely lights the house and has the blackout shades pulled during the day if I’m at home.

Someone tell me I’m not the only one

Alas! The sun has now set and the last light has fled from the state sky.

I noticed it was still light out at 5 pm on my drive home, which is better than 4:30 last month. Days are getting longer!

Well, it was meant as a joke. 😜

We, too, have all LED bulbs in our house, and my wife and I do make an effort to turn off lights in the house in rooms that are currently uninhabited. But as anyone with kids can attest there's always wasted electricity due to rooms with lights on and no one in the room.

I’d bet every nickel I have, and being from Fairfield County I have many, that this guy is a Dad.

Let’s change the title to, in efforts to save on eversource bills, CT residents take it upon them selves to light up their neighborhoods with high beams.

Youre actually helping them out too. They’re selling energy you overproduce to your neighbors. They charge your neighbors the same high price as everyone else but it cost Eversource very little. Im all for solar, just not Eversource benefiting from it.

Without the darkness, there can be no light.

"Connecticut is a highway between NY and Boston" this state is becoming a victim of gentrification. Unfortunately..... the middle and lower class have nowhere to go because the surrounding states are just as expensive.

CT’s future has never been promising. It’s boring as Shit and is nothing but a retirement home for old folks settling down.

MOre like Dim. Lights will stay on but people will learn how to conserve energy for the sake of their own purse. In the end, It might actually be beneficial to the Environment, the State and the people… unless of course no lessens will be learned. Which is what the “track” shows for most individuals in this country.
