Indian Hill Trail
A Proper Troll Indian Hill Trail, Newington January 2023 Oh Newington, you vexing mistress, you. First, you go and elect a guy with my name as mayor (He didn't run in 2016, but whatever).

Evergreen Walk Trail
It's a Walk... Walk Evergreen Walk, South Windsor January 2023 Walk enough urban trails around Connecticut and you'll get cynical about these things too.

East Coast Cidery
Why? East Coast Cidery, Enfield September 2022 It crossed my mind for about two seconds to drive up to Enfield to "visit" East Coast Cidery. But only for two seconds.
