Reply to Superman from across the river by RI_Photog
Great shot of the Industrial National Bank building.
(It's got nothing to do with Superman, and most people who call it that don't even know why. It needs to stop.)

You mean the Industrial National Bank building. It has nothing to do with Superman.
It's a great picture, though!

I just came back from there - I needed meatball mix and grated cheese.

I'm in the third group - people who know enough of the first kind of people that we get gifted enough to fill all our soupy needs. I've got 3/4 of a stick left now and I'm guaranteed to be offered another before I run out.

That too, if you're thawing pipes you absolutely want to open the faucets as they thaw out, especially if you're using a heat gun/hair dryer to thaw them out.

It'll work... until it doesn't, especially at his drip per second flow rate. A steady trickle is recommended to help keep pipes from freezing but even then a deep cold snap can still freeze them up.

He's going to be surprised when he finds that trick doesn't work.

Her won't give anyone a nickel unless he can put his name on them.
Fun fact: the Providence Children's Museum turned down a $1 million donation from him because they'd have had to rename themselves to "The Alan Shawn Feinstein / Providence Children's Museum. I love those folks.

I'd love to say "take exit zero" when giving directions!

Not for me - I'll still be off Exit 1!
I'm waiting for the sign on 95S to change from "No Exit 4" to "No Exit 12 (old No Exit 4)

Really, it's not. The moon was opposite from the sun 2 days ago. This is a lens flare.

That's true, I'd love to see some real change, like ranked voting. But it's not here yet, so I have to decide whether I'd like to use my vote as a protest, or to try and elect the lesser of the evils being presented.
If I'm going to vote a 3rd party candidate, they'll have to be someone I respect rather than a fool like Gizzarelli. I was always happy to vote for Bob Healey, for example.

She literally moved here to run for office. It's not like she moved here 5 years ago and wanted to get involved in her new community. It's that she's a blatant opportunist who doesn't care if she's in Rhode Island, South Dakota, or West Virginia, she moved to where the GOP invited her to run.
She's got no political experience, and I don't even know if she can manage her household finances never mind a state budget. I don't know if she's stood up to a home renovation contractor, never mind a labor union.
McKee wasn't my favorite candidate by a long shot, but I'll still vote for him over Kalus. Hell, I think I'd vote for Carcieri before I voted for Kalus.
And no, I'm not voting for Gizzarelli. John Anderson taught me (and I wish he'd taught Ralph Nader) that all a 3rd party candidate does in the current system is spoil the race. But beside that, the only sign I saw for him had something about bringing back flavored vapes. Not something I'd have made a main plank of my platform, but there he is.
Libertarians piss me off anyway, because things just fall apart. I recently saw Billy Bragg, and he wrote a song about Grafton NH where Libertarians got elected to a majority of the town council. It's funny because it's true. "Living on logic sounds real good / But people don't always act the way you think that they should"

I am pumped for this! When I saw that he was doing a US tour, I looked to see how far I'd have to travel to see him. I figured Boston at worst, or New Haven which is only slightly better, but he's right down the street!
I have high hopes for the United as a new venue. I hope the sound is OK.
