The Editor's Notepod, Sun., Feb. 6, 2011

We are glad that in Meriden and other towns, the old post office motto continues to inspire mail carriers: “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.”

It really doesn’t make much sense to count prisoners as residents of a community such as Cheshire where the prison is, since, for most purposes, they are not functioning residents of that community. Not the the situation is totally analagous, but are not members of the armed forces counted as residents of their home communities, not as residents of where their air force base happens to be?
