Ted Williams - creepy sculpture

As a New Englander and a Red Sox fan, and as a human being....this might be a little too much.

A day trip to Newport

Some great radio and a great guy

If you're in Southern New England, be sure to tune in to Cat Country 98.1 for Robby Bridges in the afternoon. StacysMom says, "His passion and enthusiasm comes across in every break". And we had a great dinner together a few weeks ago. And he says I never mention him. Oh yeah, Tad and Chris too.

Podcasts

A couple of podasts I download every week, and would really hate to miss.

Both feature some former TechTv folks.

Car dealers

So, in Rhode Island, it's illegal for a car dealership to open on Sunday. There is some dispute over this because of a recent law allowing liquor stores to open. But let's say the law won't allow Sunday sales. There is a discussion currently because the dealers on the Mass border feel they are losing sales since the Bay State allows Sunday sales. No one seems to be addressing the main question. Why do we give the government the right to tell us who can and who cannot open on Sunday??? It's wrong in so many ways. The hypocrites won't tell you that it's "The Lord's Day", but that's the reason. I know that this country was founded by men who were Christian and who would be outraged at selling on Sunday. But why can clothes, food, flowers, medicine, and even liquor be sold on Sunday (during carefully regulated hours), but not cars? Just another case of the scum in the State House telling us how to live our lives.
