You might be able to use the 1 1/2" to 2" connected to a 2" x 2 1/2".

Also, if you aren't carrying your license in CT and you get a citation for it, you can generally show up at court and show them your license and the judge will waive the citation.

Carrying a valid drivers license when you are operating a motor vehicle is the law in CT, but if you are properly registered then the likely worst case is that you will be inconvenienced by a courtroom visit if that's your only offense.

When I requested a replacement license online from the DMV last year, I received a temporary license that I could print out and carry with me. Did you not get one of those?

Yes, definitely a traffic break maneuver. Here's a video of one in action, you can see the driving looks erratic at times, but the cruiser is trying to slow down the flow of traffic because of a hazard that's ahead.

I don't know why anyone would think it a smart idea to pass a police car with flashing lights in this situation!

Speculation is that they are taking the "Donuts" out since Dunkin officially changed its name from Dunkin Donuts to just Dunkin.

Fun fact: Aldi is actually 2 independent companies, Nord and Süd (north and south), run by brothers but otherwise not connected.

Aldi Nord is the business that owns Trader Joe's while Aldi Süd is the company that owns the US Aldi stores, so the two businesses in the US are also not related.

I've never seen any of the Trader Joe's or JosephsBrau beers in CT stores (I've most often been to Danbury and West Hartford).

Trader Joe's in CT used to sell a store brand of beer (at least an amber and an IPA) made by "State Line Brewing" which was contract brewed by Cottrell Brewing. Cottrell closed in 2022, so I assume that State Line is gone as well.

I would guess that Trader Joe's haven't done the paperwork to distribute their beers in the state and it was simply easier to contract brew a different line in-state.
