Hard truth: you're not a homeowner because you refuse to leave Eastern Massachusetts.

Thanks for the link. That was before my time here and is disappointing to see, to say the least.

What? Is Peter Pan trying to shut it down?

I don't understand what happened here? Why would you get rid of light switches if you're installing a system that conserves energy?

The lack of choice and the prices really are shocking. Things that cost $4 at Market Basket are like $8 or sometimes $10 at Big Y or Stop and Shop out here. I'd kill for a Market Basket.

I notice this a lot too. What I do is pre-emptively use my own brights on empty roads (only on empty roads!) so that when someone turns a corner and blinds me, they see me turn off my brights and then they usually do the same. I'm meticulous about this so it tends to work.

Can confirm. I was told by my Baystate PCP that their office couldn't/wouldn't diagnose or treat strep throat. I can't imagine how it is if you have cancer or something.
