But aren’t you curious? I am. I’ll need to get past the current life expectancy, which will likely only happen if medical science finds a way to manage a couple of big diseases I’m fighting off. But when my dad passed at 79, the thing he was most sad about was not getting to see the future. I have no idea what 2050 will be like, but I’m stubborn enough to want to stick around and find out.

For a fun, challenging drive, my commute from I-84 every day is a great test if you like lots of hills and turns..provided it's not snowing. I-84 East, take exit 73 in Union. Head East on 190 to 171 East. This will take you through wonderful Bigelow Hollow State Park and the Yale Forest, a beautiful, up-and-down ride. At the fork, take 197 East. This will take you to Woodstock. Follow it to Rt 169 South (far fewer hills and curves), and head down to Lisbon on this National Scenic Highway.

​

edit: Someone else mentioned Yale Forest!

Reading this in Woodstock, CT. The one thing Dems and the GOP agree on out here is preserving open space. Woodstock is still run by the Manure Mafia—plenty of funding to support farmland, as little as possible for schools.
