Like the Ben Franklin Crafts that's been closed and sitting empty for, what, 7 or 8 years?

Depends on the highway, or what passes for highways in New Hampshire. I worked in Concord for 8 years and at least twice a winter every year got trapped near the Epsom traffic circle for 45-75 minutes due to poor plowing making traffic grind to a complete halt. People would ask why I didn't stay home, and it was always the case that roads were fine until I hit Epsom.

And these weren't blizzard days, because the university closed then, just typical, a few inches of snow storms.

Yes. Less than a mile and a half away.

A seemingly normal office park just off of Manchester St.

Are you sure it's not Concord? I know 3 people who have had survivable brain tumors and 4 with other cancers. 5 are coworkers at the same office in Concord and the 6th and 7th are the husband of a 6th coworker and the young son of a 7th coworker from the office.

I hope that the rest of us started working from home in time...

I work from home all but 2 days a month, and my electric bill is about $70 a month. How? I pay a bit more than 3k a year for propane for heat/oven/dryer

This website about laws concludes that given there's no specific NH law against it, it's legal. https://www.neonlaws.com/new-hampshire/

Is it removable, though? Laws do change, so it'd suck for you to make a permanent change only to have them outlaw it while you own the car. I mean, I've seen cars with purple underglow and it is distracting, which does make me wonder if it'll be cracked down on...anyway, if it's removable, you're better off.

Like Gagnon, I'm 45 too. In 1989 we were 12. Just wow.

According to this website about self-storage statistics, not only does NH have almost a square foot more per resident's worth of self storage than the national average, NH has by far the most square footage of self storage in any New England state. Like, nearly double some other New England states.

Seconding this one. And going in September is ideal.

Once Old Navy left it was like a snowball picking up both mass and speed as it rolled down hill, and store after store closed. It's still hard to believe how quickly everything left.

I had that happen when they were still Atlantic. I got it sorted out, paid them the whole $10(!!!) they deactivated my account over while on the phone with them, and when internet was back on they asked if I "needed anything else." And I said yes, your office in Rochester has been closed over Covid for months and I haven't had time to figure out how to cancel cable if not allowed to in person so how about you help me with that?

Screwing me over a $3.33 a month increase they never bothered to communicate with me about encouraged me to cut $70 from my service bill. Idiots

I looked into this a few months ago and it seems that if we had the same income tax and state-averaged property tax rates as MA, homeowners would need to make well over 50k before they paid more in combined taxes than we do just in property tax now.

And that's as a single earner, it'd probably be even less regressive for dual income families who can "share" the property tax bill between their incomes.

The vast majority of people who drive into buildings and cause accidents while driving the wrong direction on highways are drunk/high or have dementia. It would be nice to know how other parts of the world deal with these two types of drivers because we could use some pointers.

The breast cancer donation calls I keep getting in addition to these cop funding calls are another known scam, btw.

Allegedly. I got my real ID in 2020 because they were after several times delaying really really they mean it this time going to require real ID to fly in 2021.

You better, the average daytime high in New Hampshire is only higher than 50F half the year

More than 99%. 0.5% has been on the higher end this year - it was down to 0.3% in the late spring/early summer.

I don't expect people to wear a mask all of the time anymore, and I don't myself, but if you have a cough and feel the need to leave the house go on and break out the masks. Nobody wants whatever is causing your chesty cough even if you swear "it's not covid."

People are so disappointing.

State universities close that week, some manufacturing and other assorted non-retail businesses do too, but I can't recall ever seeing anywhere to eat, stay, or shop being closed that week other than on 12/25 and maybe 1/1.

Where do you live that has garbage trucks? I remember living places that had them. It was nice.

If you can use a sewing machine, buying a quarter yard of heavy cotton canvas at Joann's and a bag of playground sand will make you a much less annoying draft dodger that will hold a nice narrow shape all winter. I bought this with a 50% off coupon and made 4 of them last winter in about an hour.

Aww man, I just realized I forgot about checking the mail box both yesterday and today, so there might still be flyers in there tomorrow.

And it's epidemic. In my town a handful of years ago (2018 or 2019) we had questions that were so confusingly worded that people people voted against creating bike paths but in a different question 100 more people for purchasing signage for the to-be-created bike paths they'd voted against. It was like 400 yes on bike path votes and 500 yes on bike path signage.

Right? In late April there might still be several inches of snow on the ground. Or 2 inches of mud. Or it might be in the 80s and the ground dry already at the beginning of our new annual drought season.
