I was trying like hell to compare one of Connecticut's towns to Tina Belcher but I just could not make it work.

Taking a town and boling it down to one general identity or stereotype is both difficult and asking for trouble. There are fun people who get it, and will like my jokes but where are they when some nut job hits me in the face, with a rake outside the Dollar General?

Part of me is already sorry that I wrote this. I'm not sorry like I feel bad, I'm just sorry that poked my head out from my self-made cave. I don't know, maybe this is some form of self sabotage? Subconsciously, I must have been thinking things were going too well, and I needed to ruin it.

Maybe I should see my therapist more than twice a month? I'm afraid if I do that, she'll need therapy and I'm assuming I'm going to have to pay for that, punitive damages and all.

I guess it's not so bad, they'll probably welcome me in Kent.

The Danbury Flood of 1869 is a Local Disaster Lost to Time
