The DBR stated they have no proof growers used pesticides on the tested plants. Yet, every grower had a bizarre excuse, from leaky roof to spraying for ants and beetles outside for the contamination. They are lying through their teeth and the DBR is covering it up, because well… money.

Ever since they installed these smart meters or wireless, I’ve had trust issues. I’m installing a energy meter on my side of the panel to figure out what’s what. Of course this winter we will be seeing a rate hike of what 47%? Something crazy like that. It’s totally out of control.

The cost of living is high and the taxes are even higher, however there are jobs out here and commuting from Rhode Island to neighboring Massachusetts or Connecticut opens up even more opportunities. The southern half of the State is notably quieter if you enjoy the woods, the middle is a big of a mix, larger city but still spread out, and northern Rhode Island with the city and outside Providence areas. No matter where you live, there are 420 miles of coastline to explore, rocky shores to Sandy beaches. Winters can be blah in New England, but Rhode Island being on the coast doesn’t see the large amounts of snowfall they they get up north. Oh, we have terrible roads, I know what’s in a name?

This is a great question, the short answer is many will likely become potential felons for Christmas. The law doesn’t pass constitutional muster, however until it moves through the courts firearm owners in Rhode Island are under their thumb. It can be pretty scary being a law abiding citizen one day and being jammed up on felony charges the next because you forgot a 15rd magazine in your range bag. It’s best to air of the side of caution and sanity to remove all the 11 plus round magazines you have in your collection and take them charter fishing before December 21. After the ban is repealed you can send a scuba diver down to retrieve them.

You are being taken for a ride. If they completed an actual inspection and found one issue… if you needed brakes they would have found that issue too, hence why it’s called an inspection. They are inspection points to inspect, brakes a wear item and a bit of a necessity are checked right up front. Then ball joints, frame rust, exhaust rust, lights etc. there is absolutely no way they “missed” the brakes. Something tells me, the boss man said, what you didn’t get them for brakes! What no ball joints! Are you crazy we have bills to pay! Tell him he needs brakes.
