I live in the country. I've had rabies shots (the full course) - actually, we all have. Everyone in the family (except me) have had Lyme disease at least once (and a few twice). I found a couple ticks on myself a couple weeks ago when I was sitting at work -- that came from my walk to the train station.

So Hartford is the big city compared to where I live.

Except Hartford isn't even a city. It's America's Filing Cabinet.

Oh, and I agree Hartford is barely a city.

But then I think Boston is a dreary little town.

Congrats MPC! Does this signal the end of your reliance on public transportation?

I'm sure you know it is best to get out of Hartford before the sun goes down

Yeah, no more train for me. (alas)

And I've learned about getting out of here early. And the limited dining selections at lunch (so I'm bringing my own food now).

small question, how did you find out? telephone? email? carrier pigeon? I'm waiting to hear back from someplace the wait is killing me.
