Howard Schultz doesn't own Starbucks either. It's a publicly traded company.

I said summer, not winter. There is no such thing as a 4:30 sunrise in winter. Except in Australia maybe, but they call it summer too last I checked.

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.

Expecting small businesses to be unionized in a small state is just silly.

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.

Thank you. I've grown really tired of people saying New England should be on AST or permanent DST. When we are on standard time we are right where we are supposed to be, in terms of solar time.
Yes, this means ~4:30am sunrises and ~7:30pm sunsets in the summer. 👍

No, definitely thunder. I'm not that far from Stratton. Didn't seem like a thunderstorm night but it woke me up too.

You are using two different phrases to describe the same thing.
If there is too much water in the fuel, that means too much liquid (water) is entering the cylinder, preventing complete combustion. Hydrolock. Can you explain the difference you are seeing between this and "lack of fuel"?

Technically speaking, an engine is hydrolocked when it stops running due to water in the cylinder, even if it hasn't caused mechanical damage. What you are describing is hydrolock, it's just reversible so long as you haven't destroyed the piston.

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...

A number of CR parking lots are not MBTA controlled and not on this list. (e.g. Wachusett allows overnight parking)

Reply to Boston Travel? by Check_Affectionate
You can park at Wachusett and catch the Fitchburg line. It's not the fastest way but I find it pretty convenient. $4/night parking and free on the weekends. No day limit as far as I've ever encountered, just prepay how long you think you'll be. I fly out of Logan using this parking lot.

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
