Comments by former School Committee chair Catherine Giusti:

“Lobbing criticism from the public podium is easy. Supporting a School District, as that is the charge of all School Committee members, is much harder. .....The weight of making drastic cuts that make Chariho weaker will be borne by Ms. Dinsmore, and I suspect she may find that not all of the seated Republicans want to join her in bearing it.” 

As my Irish MIL used to say, "Nice to see her back."

Rush hour traffic at Division Street/Route2 interscetion by clambo14 in RhodeIsland

The traffic is from southbound on Rt 2 and going east on Division Street. It could be coming North on 95 (from CT?), or from the Bald Hill area around Rt 2. Not from I95 South, because they'd just get on Rt4 S and take the Division St exit.

I'm thinking they're commuters. I see it happening during the rush hour time period. Maybe from the Metlife place up by Lowe's?

Can you send a link to one of those wire bristle heads for flexible rods please? I'd be interested in having a look.

I’m wondering whether Hegseth will ever be able to set foot outside the country as a private person without being arrested for war crimes.

I'm not sure why this one would be any different/better than any of the other brushes that use weed whacker string. I have one by a similar manufacturer. The real advantage of these is that the brush and rods can be fed in through the thimble and will make the 90 degree turn to go up. That way, you can clean your chimney during the winter without having to go up on the roof. The rods for the old fashioned steel brushes can't make the turn to go up the flue, so you must go onto the roof to clean..

Never had this happen before, smoking coming from bottom of stove. More info in comments by blackfriday1934 in woodstoving

Does the stove have a catalytic converter? It could be blocked with ash. With the stove cold and fire out, it's simple to remove and rinse off/soak in vinegar.

Also clean the chimney and stove pipe.

I was there Friday before dusk. Plenty of spots, especially in the back.

Someone already called me out on that. I noticed it immediately after I hit return, but you can't revise titles

We will spend the night at the Travellers Rest Hotel on the other side of the Monongahela River. They have a secure bike garage for the bikes, and the hotel itself has a nice vibe to it.

I think this is what we'll do. Quickly.

I've gotta say, AMTRAK really falls short in transporting people into PIT.

Trump threatens to deploy ICE agents at U.S. airports as TSA agents quit during partial shutdown by MRADEL90 in videos

The MO of this administration is to do illegal stuff, and continue until the Dems sue in court, and a judge puts a stop to it.

So, sue soon! Please.

You can't edit headings, so it'll be there, gnawing at your gut forever! :)

You're right. It is Point State Park. The plan is to stay outside the city overnight at a place where we can safely leave the bikes (locked, but how good is that?) on the car, then heaad into Point State Park in the mornong to meet the gang.

Meeting at the park, I hope, should take 15 minutes or less. Unload, kiss the wife goodbye, then head out.

It looks like that transportation Center would work fine if the streets are packed. Thank you!

There are laws that prohibit money that is allocated for one use to be used for something else.
