I don't think that Sununu has the level of ambition to run for President though I think that he would do well at it. He seems to want a life and he can do that as Governor; much harder as President or Vice-President.

The scenario may be a huge battle between Trump and Desantis for 2024 which leaves the Republican party in shambles, basically deeply divided between moderates and MAGA. I think that Biden would run in this environment to prevent Trump from winning. I think that he won't run if Trump doesn't run. The problem for the Democrats is that they don't have a bench. They have a year to work on one though.

I've purchased my last three cars at Toyota of Nashua and have been happy with the dealership and the cars. The problem right now is that they can't get cars.

I've seen a number of wild turkeys on the side of the road feeding in the grass lately. I don't know if it's legal to capture them and prepare them yourself.

I grew up in Newton, MA and you can live there without owning a car or knowing how to drive. The city is broken down into about a dozen villages and there is a shopping center area for each village so you're never more than a mile away from shopping. They have five rail stops and several bus lines. There are some main roads that are very busy and not great for cyclists but they have sidewalks on both sides of the road so good for pedestrians. So you can design cities to be walkable but it seems to be very hard to retrofit.

You can have a combination of a curve, hill, blind intersection, narrow road, no shoulder, where an accident occurs because a driver just can't see something fast enough - even when driving below the speed limit. It can be road design too.

I used to ride with the Charles River Wheelmen when I lived in Boston. I tried to bicycle to work when I moved to Southern NH and just found it too dangerous for my comfort level. The bridges were a big problem as crossing them meant that a driver had to stop for you and drivers are in too much of a hurry to stop for you - and, even if they did, they'd annoy the driver behind them.

Our former fitness center manager, a former national class cyclist, told me that the area where I live is not a great area for cycling - she cycles all over the place and knows the main roads well.

I prefer to run in housing developments or around shopping malls or strip malls just because people have to drive at lower speeds.

I was at a town Planning Board meeting a few years ago and a state planning guy did a presentation on making our region friendlier to pedestrians and bicyclists. I pulled him aside after his presentation and told him that Southern NH is just designed really poorly for pedestrians and cyclists. He acknowledged this but he was a planner so this could be something 5, 10, 15, 20 years out. Our roads, bridges, intersections are designed for cars and that's always going to make being a cyclist or pedestrian dangerous. I'm a runner and always looking out for cars; especially those not paying attention.

Where are you located in New Hampshire? Market Basket (all over the state) is the lowest prices in a large grocery store. Aldi has even lower prices but you can't necessarily depend on what you want being in stock. Trader Joe's has good prices on some things and a lot of expensive luxury items.

Our kids went to Chinese language schools a long time ago in Chelmsford and there are a fair number of these schools outside of Boston. Boston, of course, has a Chinatown and your MIL may be interested in visiting. My experience has been that people visiting here have been more interested in seeing and experiencing the area rather than talking to other Chinese - even with the language issue. My wife speaks several dialects and my son speaks Mandarin and I just keep one close if I go to a country where the main language is Chinese.

NH is considered a purple state. I'm watching a 30 minute Q&A with him and he's a lot more polished than he has been in group meetings. There are things that I disagree with but he comes across a lot more reasonable in answering questions.
