Admittedly, this piece's practical usefulness for your Copy Editor job may be somewhat limited, but OTOH you never know when you'll get one of those foursome-goes-bad Wisconsin stories that Coltrane recently posted. I hear Connecticut can be a crazy place.

Duly noted, thank you. My leafy Connecticut glen thanks you.
