When I was up yonder earlier this yr, I took a backroad--that was apparently 300 yrs old , from Putnam Ct down twards Hartford, and before I got to Ashford I saw all the fields lines with the flat rock fences stacked everywhere, the first pilgrams children had obsessive compulsive rock stacking fixation, cubing off all the land they just stole from the Native people. anyhow the rock fences are like condos for all those mice up there in Ct and Ma.
