We were up at 4 a.m. in Hartford, Connecticut.

Actually, Windsor.

Was it South Windsor? Is that where we were? Yeah, Windsor Locks.

So near the Hartford Airport.

We went to see Chloe over the weekend.

No, I don't do that during the week to you.

Well, sometimes you do.

All right, so yesterday morning, Sunday morning in Windsor, Connecticut, where we stayed at a hotel, 4 o'clock in the morning, clock goes off, our phones start ringing, and Michelle says five more minutes.

Reese on the radio.

Roseanne on the radio is here in our new studios all the way in Windsor, Connecticut.

Now, listen, folks, this is important, okay? The studio is in Windsor.

Many of you may think that that'll be your get out of studio free card.

It will not.

Alce Young was hanged in front of the people of Windsor, Connecticut.

We can hope that she got a trial first, but if she did, it would have been a trial where she was legally presumed guilty from the start and ordered to prove her innocence without the help of a lawyer.

She never stood a chance.

I strongly urge you to publish this news.

And the last letter in today's column to Heloise is from Bonnie in Windsor, Connecticut.

Dear Heloise, Each fall and spring, I buy a large cluster of ripe bananas.

After I get home, I cut the bananas, skin, and fruit into thirds.

And here in Connecticut, of course, we know exactly what happens when that fear is turned on a real woman.

If you haven't heard it, I invite you to go back into the Urbery Archive to Episode 8, One of Windsor, where I tell the story of Alice Young.

There is a link in the show notes for that episode.

But in a nutshell, she was the first woman executed for witchcraft in the American colonies right here in Windsor and Hartford, Connecticut in 1647.

And there is some evidence to show that she was accused of witchcraft after the Spanish plague hit the town of Windsor, Connecticut.

And her family survived, but yet the neighbors did not.

And he happened to be a Puritan minister.

We all remember her, the British Prime Minister, from 1979 until 1990.

It's in a couple, I think you have it in a couple locations in Connecticut so far as far as developing it out.

Yeah, we're working on Hartford, Enfield, and Windsor.

And, you know, we're building it out.

We kind of took a sidestep in that.

Sure.

Well, currently I live in Los Angeles, California, but I'm originally from Windsor, Connecticut.

I'm the East Coast girl, first generation Peruvian American.

So I grew up Catholic, but there's a big part of my family that believes in different things.

It's locked in here on The Ref, the home of Sooner fans.
