Six roof racks attached to the rain channel. At least three straps holding the ladders onto the roof racks. Looks better than when I was in construction years ago and that would have been tied down with one strap. Nothing seems wrong to me. Looks like the trash barrels have a strap and are stuffed into the pump jacks. Surprisingly, the tail/brake lights are both working, too.

It is difficult to believe that Eversource does not offer a discount/savings for paperless billing. I have called them a few times over the years about this issue. I have pointed out that my wireless carrier offered a $10.00 per month for paperless billing. I jumped on that right away. The person I spoke to at Eversource stated to the effect, go paperless or not, same price.

The sterile grass carp were never intended to reproduce, hence being sterile. This is a program modeled on the one (first in the state) at Ball Pond in New Fairfield, CT which has been very successful.

The deep draw down has been done in the past on Candlewood Lake to expose the plant life along the shore to cold air to help control the weeds. The draw down to make repairs will most likely not have any major impact on the plant life along the shore this year as it is no where near as cold as necessary to be effective.
