DEET the shit out of your pants. Do a tick check. In the very rare event you find and embedded/engorged tick on you, call the doc and get the prophylactic antibiotics. No biggie.

False alarm - “prank” call. It is all good in Gansett now. (Source: email from superintend)

You would have to be super nice. We don’t like positivity here.

I am not a lawyer but I’d worry about a bench warrant. You might find yourself arrested if you get pulled over again.

Another vote for the Mews. Twoten might have brunch also.

Cantina del Rio in SK. The Cadillac margaritas are 🔥

AllTrails is also a pretty nice app for public hiking spots.

Probably hydrant flushing. The water company/city/town usually sends a note about it.

If you are willing to drive a bit from PVD: Pivotal Brewing Co. in Bristol, Tilted Barn in Exeter, Anne Whalers in Wakefield are all great choices.

Tow it to Ocean State Auto Repair in Johnston and have the guys there give you a second opinion. I was in a similar situation and ended up keeping the car.

That is very cool. I hear with baseboard electric so I’d need about three times that output to make it work for me. Bummer.

When I moved here I drove for 6 months on my out-of-state everything until things expired. And then I made the switch.

Make it a 45 min drive and check out Matunuck Oyster bar. They are having restaurant week specials and it is totally worth it. Great food and great location.

In Ohio

RIC is effectively a university . The title “college” is more about nostalgia than anything else. There are something like 40 graduate programs at RIC and plenty of research going on. Definitely not the same as in a big R1 place but plenty to engage undergraduates. RIC should really be called “Rhode Island State University”

Gaige, Craig-Lee and Horace Mann have been completely renovated and look awesome. Campus in general is in way better shape that it was maybe 6 years ago. It is worth paying a visit to the place now!

Tell me some news about Rhode Island without telling the news are about Rhode Island.

Why can’t we have the same tint laws as MA and CT? Heck, tax tint at an extra 10% and put that into some police fund or similar.

They’d be hard to see them in PVD but are all over the state anywhere with woods. I have a family who resides without paying rent under my shed. The babies are adorable but they will feast on your garden.

In my experience most mold remediation companies will try to scare you into an expensive remediation plan. I used Air Sciences to clean up my attic and they were reasonably priced and offer a life time transferable warranty, no scare tactics of any kind. Owner comes for an estimate and supervises the main crew. Initial inspection is free.

Off-topic: check out RIC for nursing. Great programs and high passing rates on licensing exams.

There is a whole flock that lives on RIC’s campus.

I am 100% not answering the question but IMHO the coffee at Cumbies is WAY better than crappy ass Starbucks.

I moved here from the Midwest and people were and still are SHOCKED that I commute 45 minutes each way.

Yep. “Blinkers” are optional :)
