After 10,640 flips, tails fails at Middlesex
Tails never fails
Or does it?

After 10,640 penny flips, 5,323 came up heads and 5,317 came up tails — a six flip difference.

Rep. Ryan will not seek another term
UPDATED
Thursday 9:33 a.m.
After 14 years, the state Capitol Building won’t be hearing the cowboy boot steps of John J. Ryan echoing throughout the halls.
Ryan, a Republican whose seventh term as Darien and Rowayton’s state
representative ends Jan. 2, told The Darien Times this week that he
will not run again.
“I don’t know if anyone has believed me all these years that I have
been saying that this is not ‘my district’ or ‘my seat’ in the General
Assembly, but I have always viewed this as a public service job, where
the mission is to try and do the best we can for our constituents,”
Ryan told The Times on Tuesday. “My good friend Chris Shays is
absolutely correct when he says the public wants elected officials to
be Americans first, and Republicans or Democrats second. I never have
any problem being as Republican as necessary when it is appropriate,
but I can only continue to hope that more elected officials would heed
the words of Harry S. Truman that “it is amazing what can be
accomplished when you don’t care who gets the credit.”
