The grass on the baseball diamond is green, the dirt is mudtastic and puddlicious. I think that groundhog got it wrong this year; spring is coming early to Connecticut.

Old Mass Mutual building across the street -- it's been gutted and all the additions removed over the past year and a half or so. The whole back was draped with huge Mylar sheets to protect the insides from the weather. The other day I noticed lights; I guess it's coming back up. I wonder what's going to happen with it?

Rainy and snowy here this morning, and I didn't bring an umbrella. Good thing my bus stop is near the Travelers headquarters.

<p>'Safe Arrival', by Frances Wadsworth, who also did the statue for the American School for the Deaf I photographed last month. Commemorates the first colonial settlers in Hartford. </p><p>I have to be careful with the wording; there were people here previously. There was a Dutch trading post here, and the Saukiag tribe lived in the area.</p><p>The Saukiag sold the first settlers (from Massachusetts) the land in exchange for their aid in fighting off a couple of more expansionist tribes to the southeast. They are said to have been very satisfied with the deal, but where are they now? Gone, as are their enemies. Better the devil you know... that's a saying the colonists could have taught them, but I imagine the Saukiag learned it on their own. </p><p>The settlers named Hartford after Hertford, England, and from all accounts, still lived life in much the English manner. Revolution was still more than a century in their future.</p>

Was standing on the corner, waiting to cross the street, staring at those beautiful windows; had to take a picture. Arches fascinate me.
