Unfortunately with renting no secondary sources. I'd put in a pellet stove as a stop-gap measure with oil prices high if I owned, but not gonna happen with a rental.
The first floor is quite a bit open and space heaters won't run well unless start hanging blankets.

80deg was our standard room temp in Houston
65 would feel amazing compared to the 60 we max out at now, but very little sun here being on the backside of a hill.

Yes, I think most of November it was warmer outside the house than inside with the sun....hated that.
Tried to be selective on what windows we'll use during the winter and put bubble wrap on the ones we won't open in addition to plastic.

My frustration is why am I paying a deposit on 2L diet soda bottles when Milk / OJ / Apple Juice all have far denser / higher value recyclables....with no deposit.
It still reads / feels like a soda tax to me.

There are no big cities in CT, but Id also recommend Westville / East Rock for getting outdoors.
You'd have either East or West rock within spitting distance which makes it easy to get outside, even in the cold months. I'm always amazed at how empty West Rock is, very peaceful.

If you're a reasonable person then it's safer than most all other 100k+ population cities in the US that aren't just another soul-sucking suburban wasteland.
It's an old city with old problems, but I've never seen trouble for those that didn't go looking for it yet.

Back in Houston some of the nicer neighborhoods were installing plate readers at major entry points into the area's.
I look forward to this technology getting cheaper / being expanded upon. Would easily catch scumbags like this.

Ah, sorry to hear that and no surprise. I'm used to this being a quick process when living elsewhere, but seems like this is a multi-billing cycle thing with the logjam of requests / delays.
Should all be tied back to the contract at date of request / signature, but needless to say there are no guarantees in life.

Vaccines can dramatically shorten the period of transmission post-infection.
Yes, vaccinations are a very important tool to reducing transmission rates.

lols, maybe her mom should've taught her more about vaccines during homeschooling
It was a very simple testing regime for her to comply with in order for her to continuing to endanger the public at large while attending school, NOT rocket science by any means.

It's funny how much CT residents pay to offset their carbon footprints through fee's / etc. and then it's like yeah, just go drive 2 hours at 80mph like everyone else.
Multiply that by a couple hundred thousands trips and there's a lot of little johnny boy's that will have respiratory issues thanks to everyone driving to MA for pickups.

Shame they didn't let the Reservations open up shop like NY has.
Should be able to pick up from the Mohegan by now.

Thank god, no disrespect to anyone, but a flag pole should not be a "conversation piece".
Cities should be focused on protecting themselves from liability / nuisances and instituting inclusive policies where they're actually needed.

Thanks, hit all this up in early November and saw a big improvement compared to October.
Doorframes are our biggest problem and will never understand why I have a full glass back door with a screen door when it's regularly below freezing.
