Naked Man Snarls Traffic On Interstate 95 In West Haven

Apparently Florida Man is summering in New England.

http://www.courant.com/breaking-news/hc-naked-man-traffic-delay-20150714-story.html

State police say traffic was snarled during part of the morning rush hour on Interstate 95 in West Haven because of a naked man on the highway.

State police say they responded to a call for a medical assist on the southbound side of the highway near exit 42 at about 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday.

Police tell WVIT-TV they found the naked man sitting on his car by the side of the interstate.

Police blocked off the highway for a time and traffic was only getting by on the right shoulder.

most of our TV and radio came from CT, and their murders were always stranger than even NYC ones.

But, even today, with local cable nooz and NYC stations, when the truly weird happens, we ask what Connecticut town...

Here on Long Island, we are catching up, but slowly.

Not, to worry, though, some of my best friends are from Connecticut.
