Parking off site and taking a bus ride that could be in excess of 30 minutes to the airport is not the endorsement that you think it is.

It needs to be quite a bit cheaper to warrant flying out of Boston.
Airport parking in Boston is essentially twice as expensive as TF Green, plus the added time and frustration of going to an airport that is over an hour away versus one that is 10 minutes away.

I'm rooting for Breeze, but I have my doubts that they'll succeed.
My biggest gripe is the infrequency and unreliability of their flights.
If a flight gets delay/cancelled, there isn't another flight on that route for 2-4 days, so booking anything when you're on a tight timeline isn't really practical given their current schedules.
I hope that them setting up a base here will improve some of the performance issues I've experienced from them over the past couple years.

It's okay to be cautious, but with this attitude, why even bother leaving the house?
Being in New England, ticks are everywhere. My dog picks them up even just being out in our yard. Keep them up to date on Frontline/Nexguard/etc, and be vigiliant with checks. But getting a dog out for a nice long hike/walk is great for you and the dog.

It's not southern.
Make your way 15 minutes outside of pretty much any city in the country and your encounter this backwards behavior.

You call it differentiation.
I call it needlessly painting yourself into a corner.
The best way of standing out is making good beer. Given the number of breweries in this state, there are only a few making beer that's better than "fine".

"Most English-style breweries"? How many breweries are there in the US that specialize in English-style beers?
I like an ESB on occasion. Shit, one of the best beer experiences I had in recent memory was drinking a Welly on site at Fox Farm.
But let's be honest - the average American beer drinker couldn't give 2 shits about cask ale. The lack of pub beers isn't a supply-side issue. The demand is not there, so breweries follow the consumers' taste, and make what sells - IPAs.

They'll have a hazy IPA on tap within a year. Bet.
There's a vocal minority that echoes this "I'm sick of IPAs" sentiment, but the reality is they're what keep the doors open and lights on for most breweries.

DMV has a process:
If you have failed inspection and feel that your vehicle does meet the requirements as set forth in the Official Manual for Vehicle Inspection, you may challenge the failure with the DMV inspection garage. A DMV Inspector will re-inspect the vehicle and override the failure if the station and inspector are found to be wrong. You may schedule an appointment by calling the DMV at (401) 462-5890.

I don’t even understand how you get to be 6-7 figures delinquent. I once made a mistake on my taxes and owed the IRS a couple hundred bucks and they were aggressive and threatened to garnish wages.

The national Republican party's agenda doesn't fly in RI.
She can't say the shit that she actually believes because it would 100% submarine her chances of winning. Instead she has to rely on vague buzzwords to try and capitalize on the fact that McKee is a generally bad, unqualified candidate.

If you have your own lane, it's not a merge.
And it's abrupt because it's temporary and they have limited space to work with. A major highway should not be passing immediately through the middle of a city.
