Hey, it's hump day!

  1. Snow. Seriously? I was really hopeful this wouldn't happen. The National Weather Service predicts the following: Snow, mainly after 11 a.m. High near 38 degrees. Calm wind becoming east between 5 and 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80 percent. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.
  2. Today is National Organize Your Home Office Day and National Chip and Dip Day. Where's one of the best places to go for office supplies? , or course! You can also hit up or for organizational goodies. And as for chips and dip, if you live in White Hills, stop by on your way home. If you live in Huntington, is the way to go. And for those of you downtown, has a nice selection of munchies.
  3. Visit Griffin Hospital for "HUGS" (Help Unlimited Griffin Support), a support group for cancer survivors and those with a current diagnosis, regardless of the type. The group meets weekly on Wednesdays from 6 - 7 p.m. at 130 Division Street in Derby. Friends and family are always welcome.
  4. Consumer alert: Attorney General George Jepsen alerted consumers to a voluntary recall by Ford Motor Company of Windstar minivans, model years 1999 through 2003.

Ford said this separation could result in loss of directional control of the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash. Ford said its dealerships will inspect and repair the vehicle as needed to address this problem, free of charge.
  5. There will be a regular Board of Education meeting tonight at 7 p.m. at the . For municipal meetings: the Anti-Litter Committee will meet at 7 p.m. in room 303, while the Planning & Zoning Commission will hold a special meeting at 7 p.m. in the auditorium.

Why is it the panel for this event does not include a single advocate for gun-owners' rights? WithRead More all due respect to Chief McNamara, why does the panel no include a person who can speak to gun safety from a gun-owning civilian's perspective? ML, you claim that the assembled folks "do not offer judgements about gun ownership" but they are not including a single voice that can offer perspective on gun ownership. I have been to "education" sessions sponsored by Meg's March for Change and they are one-sided indoctrinations into gun control advocacy. >>>> I was in Hartford for the public hearings in January when both Meg and March co-founder Nancy gave their personal testimonies and they all but threatened the legislators on the panel with election day retribution for all those who did not tow the gun-control line of thinking (i.e. March and CAGV). To suggest that Meg "does not offer judgements" is fallacious and disingenuous.
