The application for registration is pretty clear. I am surprised it took them this long.

> NOTE: Dual Registration is when motor vehicles or trailers registered in another state need to be registered in MA under the dual registration concept (MGL Chapter 90, Section 3) and display plates from both jurisdictions (as required in MGL Chapter 90, Section 6). This applies to vehicles that meet all of the following conditions:

> • Owned by nonresidents

> • Registered in another state

> • In the possession of, or under the control of, MA residents for more than 30 days (not necessarily consecutive) within a calendar year period

It translates into the company seeing that customers prefer to shop at unionized locations. Starbucks is as anti-union as a company can be. There is a chance that driving more sales to unionized locations could change that. Or not, Howard Schultz seems like a pretty big dick no matter what.

Standard time means the sun is directly above you at noon (or, roughly close to it). DST is the "switch". Until 2007, DST was 4 weeks shorter.

Personally I'm actually OK with the time change. Once you get to a certain point in summer, yeah, 4:30 sunrise doesn't really make sense. But it should happen in April and October, not March and November. This 6:30 sunrise is killing me, we were just making progress when the DST switch hit.

How does water being sucked into the air intake hydrolock an engine without also bending a connecting rod or otherwise causing the engine to stop? That is the definition of hydrolock. Too much liquid in the cylinder, regardless of how it got there (air intake being the obvious/common way).

> The town auditor plays a vital role in preserving the democratic nature of Vermont’s local government by ensuring that local officials are accountable for their expenditures of the taxpayers’ money. It is the auditor’s job to review the accounts of local officials and report the findings directly to the taxpayers for review. Because this report is presented only days before town meeting, the statutory scheme envisions that if the taxpayers do not like what the auditors’ report indicates about how the officials have spent the taxpayers’ money; the officials will be voted out of office.

Sounds like time for a new town clerk. And maybe a call to the State Auditor's office...
