One owner, meticulously maintained. Go ahead! Take 'er around the block, and then we can talk financing to put you behind the wheel today.
That's foreshadowing, sort of.
Here's some more: remember Tommy and Dickie Smothers ('Mom always liked you best), Liam and Noel Gallagher, or Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin (BMT)? All very much "I love you, but I also hate you" relationships. A lot of, as my mom would say, 'cutting off your nose to spite your face.' (In my case, an improvement).
All of which brings me to my city of residence, which seems determined to prove a small town can house a lot of small people.

We have a population of under 40K with a paid fire department and five volunteer fire companies. They were in a pissing contest when I arrived here in the Autumn of 1991 (NOT suggesting cause and effect) and have recently escalated that to a dimension bordering on Beyond Ludicrous.
I've followed this quarrel for decades and still don't understand why any principle should be greater than public safety. We have one public utility, one public works department, and one police department.
I'd appreciate it if the so-called adults in leadership positions in both city government and in the various fire departments would act like they were grown-ups and remember they all serve those who live and work in Norwich.
This 'ten villages in search of a city' $hit is not a good look.
