Week Ahead in Granby and East Granby: Planning and Zoning, a Halloween Parade and Square Dancing

Ruminations courtesy Ted Glanzer:

Good morning, Granby and East Granby. Today is Monday, Oct. 21, 2013; there are 71 days left in the year.

Friends, I know I am not making any earth-shattering observations here, but babies are like cats.

You buy toys for them, which they may take an interest in for a few minutes. But then they start playing with stuff that not only isn’t a toy, but is life-threatening. The power cord to my computer is a frequent target for the baby.

How on Earth did humans survive this long?
