Absolute banger of a sunset up on the cloud edge of the nor’easter. (Mt Washington down on the horizon)

9:30p and I’m biking home from the bar. The drivers are being unnaturally courteous to a cyclist. They must be drunk.

New Englanders with oil heat are going to pay like $3-5000 for heat this winter. That’s equal to or more than the cost to convert an oil boiler or furnace to natural gas which would be way cheaper to run. But that will just increase gas use, making electricity for everyone more expensive.

Oh wow, may have impacts on buildings that’ll theoretically be ready for occupancy around 2036 😵

Tremendously good news from the City of Providence: a whopping 988 residential units came only in the most recent fiscal year, double housing production from the year before. For the least affordable city in America, this is a BFD. /1 (thread) #housingcrisis www.providenceri.gov/wp-content/u...

For years as a tour guide, I had a love-hate relationship with sleeping on the Rhine—great towns...but hotels over-looking the train tracks with trains rampaging through all night. But now it’s four panes of modern glass and when a thunderous train screams by the building rumbles…you hear nothing.

Old enough to remember when 1) multi day heavy wildfire smoke events were not a thing for 90% of this continent and 2) multi day heavy wildfire smoke events were not something you had to anticipate months in advance when planning your summer/fall activities

The Block Island Ferry is selling Long Drink this year, but no one is buying it. I’m doing my part to keep it on the menu.

Milwaukee's team having their stadium located in Green Bay is the only correctly located football stadium in the USA. Foxboro is close.

TIL that yellowjacket queens will overwinter in your basement and you might find them crawling around down there sluggishly, all alone, in the late spring.

Summer 2020 was remarkable for consistently being able to drive from PVD to the middle of the White Mountains in 3 hours flat on a Friday afternoon. Maybe summer 2026 will be too?

Rode a Ripta RTS once and it was amazing. Those ‘trolleys’ had wood bench seats and they were dog shit.
