Before I moved here I stayed in Seekonk a lot and worked downtown. It’s a short and easy drive. Maybe too cold now, but in the fall my nephews were in town wanted a “tour” so I parked near the pedestrian bridge and we took scooters around. It’s really not too hard to park downtown and walk wherever. You may need to park downtown and do your thing, then maybe move the car up to Federal Hill if your going there too.

Our neighbors did a few weeks ago. All around, TV, radio, stores, everywhere it seems like Christmas season is much earlier this year. Crap, I even bought a bunch of decorations at TJ max today for the house, something I’ve never done before…

Not really, the energy industry is not investing capital because they got burned pre Covid going into Covid. Remember how we were out pumping everyone? The Saudis weren’t backing down either. Huge world oil glut then shutdowns happened. They took a short term beating. In this past year they have been making record profits. Do you think there is any incentive for them to pump more? Drill more? Produce more? Basically put out more money which drives the price down. Everyone paints the red vs blue picture, but it’s rich vs poor, power vs powerless. You’ve watched too much right wing tv and viewed too many memes and are now one of the brainwashed. Read some oil industry bulletin boards, or some business related articles on oil industry to gain an actual real understanding.

We’ll yeah. I’m all for having nice things but let’s just take the URI question. That’s $100 from every person in the state. Doesn’t seem like much until you realize that kids and babies and people that don’t work and many others are not chipping in. Then the interest on top of that.

The questions should be how was it allowed to get to such a state of decay and what ways can that be prevented or alleviated in the future.

I’m kind of new to RI but it seems similar to the road and bridge situation. They let them rot until they are backed into a corner and for the past few years they started fixing everything in a hurry. Large sums of money spent quickly lead to waste and shoddy work.

You can probably find street parking near the arcade if your there just for a little while. While you’re there rooftop at providence G is nearby, G Pub (not sure if your out getting drinks,etc. ) If you want to take a little walk and people watch I think there is roller disco outside across the street from the Graduate (formerly Biltmore, you’ll see the sign) There’s a beer garden there too. They used to have a comedian on Friday’s, not sure if that’s still going on this late in the season.

If you walk in the opposite down the river the pedestrian bridge is pretty.

In Johnston we have a separate truck for recyclables. But the green waste goes in the garbage truck. So I guess my leaf bags and sticks are getting sorted to compost??

Work downtown in an office bldg. There are dumpsters for cardboard. Everything else is garbage, no recyclables. And since bags go in the dumpster there’s no sorting that.

Yeah I’d did some googling after I sent the reply. I guess if in fact the row of bushes was planted there 30 years ago by them then it’s their property. That’s totally messed up.

What part of the home buying process would cover that? Getting a survey? I guess people skip that if they think the area has been “stable” for a number of years.

I had always wondered how adverse possession works when a new owner comes on. If I was encroaching and using some property and someone called me on it I would concede. Because you bought property based on established property lines not where the row of bushes is. You’ll definitely need to see a lawyer to see what your options are. I wonder if there is any recourse with title insurance? Good luck, I hope you succeed.

If it adds capacity to the market and it isn’t taxpayer subsidized then I’m for it.

I’m learning about home solar now and what I don’t understand is why they don’t let you overproduce and sell back to the grid if you have the roof space. Did the energy industry lobby the state to keep this power away from the people?
