The Rocky Point plate looks terrific! The Gaspee Days Committee is taking preorders for a very nice looking plate as well. They’re still short of the 600 needed to get a production run started but are going to make a push in the spring to reach that goal. I’m hopeful that they make it, because my wave plate is on its last legs and I don’t want to get stuck with the saw blade.

Having tried the commuter rail from Stamford and Amtrak from Providence, I second taking the Amtrak/Acela straight to NYC. There are a lot of stops on the Amtrak Northeast Regional route, but it takes you right into Penn Station’s new Moynihan Train Hall in Midtown.

Have a great trip, whichever option you choose!

Must be the same SUV driver that flipped me off not once, but TWICE this morning because I had the audacity to actually stop at the two stop signs on my mother’s street. The local police like to lurk on the side streets and ticket folks who roll on through, so I wasn’t taking any chances. I wish there had been an officer around to deal with Mr. Road Rage!
