How do I get George Logan to stop sending me mail?

I get 3 of this idiot's fliers a week. I'm getting really sick of going from the mailbox straight over to the dumpster. I've tried reaching out to his campaign, and I'm even considering cancelling my voter registration so I won't be on the list next time around. Any creative ideas?

Even if it was someone I planned to vote for, they would have lost my vote over this laughably desperate borderline harassment

Is the outdoor fire ban still intact?

We got some rain, so I was just wondering. I realize it was never on private property, but I’m just trying to be respectful of neighbors and triggering any false alarms.

Towing nightmare :(

Hey Connecticuters! I think something kind of illegal just happened to me but I don't have the confidence or legal expertise to know whether it's worth pursuing. My car was towed from outside my own apartment because there was a party next door and the property manager called a towing agency to get rid of everyone's cars (I was not involved in the party, but happened to be without a parking sticker). I had just moved in and hadn't been given a parking sticker, told they were required at any point during the move in process, or given a way to obtain one. The towing representative demanded $160 in cash on the spot and when I floundered, he drove off :( I called them this morning and they said it's $160, but I've read the maximum rate for a nonconsensual tow is $125 plus $15 per mile beyond two miles. Their location is 4.7 miles from me, so that comes out to $140, not $160. They are also demanding I pay in cash only. I feel like this runs afoul of something but to be totally honest I've been too busy crying my eyes out. I had no way to know I was doing anything wrong and they yelled at me in person and over the phone :( I managed to borrow money from my family but is there any recourse here? It's okay if not, I just wanted to do my due diligence 🫶

EDIT: thank you all for helping me fix my bad math omg!! And for the general good feelings :) I've only been driving for a month and this happened the day my medical debt went to collections so it's been a rough one 💔 headed to a three hour chem lab, take care out there wisened towing fam

Town police idling

Smallish town, and the local police leave their police cars idling 5, 10, 15 mins… I don’t want to report them TO them, so what do?

If it were every now and then, whatever but it is every single day

Any good streets or neighborhoods in the Windsor area for trick or treating?

There’s nobody in our entire neighborhood that hands out candy and I want my daughter to be able to have a somewhat authentic experience instead of another trunk or treat this year. I know a chunk of people don’t like new faces in their neighborhood on Halloween, but if anyone knows even a good street to walk down tonight any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Some historians are skeptical that the 16-year-old Dutchess County girl Sybil Ludington rode 40 miles in pouring rain to rally militia, like Paul Revere, to come to Danbury’s aid the night the British attacked in 1777. Hear the arguments on both sides. Podcast link in comments.

There is a Salem town in CT that is quiet on Halloween compared to that witch town in Massachusetts

I hear that Salem in Mass. is always crowded and packed and it's loud and creepy. Salem, in our state, seems somewhat New Englandy and very peaceful. We bet kids will have a good time trick or treating in Salem with barely annoying noises coming from the other Salem.

I know of other Salems in New Hampshire and beyond.

Looking for a tuxedo store that has a unique selection

I am a lady looking for a cool-ass tuxedo to wear to a friend's 50th birthday party in a few weeks. The theme is PROM.

What do I mean by "cool-ass tuxedo"? I have no idea. But I'm wondering if you know of any tuxedo stores that have a really colorful, interesting collection.

Before you suggest it, yes, I am keeping my eye out in my thrift store adventures! But would love an all-in-one experience to rent or buy.

Thank you!

Two weeks notice

I am currently looking for another job, as the place I am working at currently has awful leadership and extremely outdated hazardous machinery. If I give my boss two weeks notice, I can almost guarantee he will be vindictive and fire me. If I am fired after giving two weeks notice, and my new job can’t take me in yet, am I eligible for unemployment? My wife and I have a newborn at home and I don’t want to miss out on any income if possible.

CT DMV question

Need to add a name to my registration/title. Main person’s name who is already on the registration cannot go to the DMV. My question is do I need a power of attorney form for that main person or is a copy of their license sufficient? They have already signed the application for joint title and registration. Website is confusing says that photocopies are accepted. Does back of title need to be filled out? Again, no sale of car, adding another name to the current registration for passenger car. Ty
