Future state senators perhaps? They are building up that senatorial resume!

ugh, I've failed as a father

3 Poles. Yes, I committed a dad joke.

where was ethnicity mentioned?

I would email the department chair of Business Administration--they might be able to direct you more rapidly than the admissions office (or prompt admissions to get back to you more quickly).

I misread that as GRAW and got excited ):

I knew the south side was bad but calling in the air force seems like overkill

No, the 7-11 is by the bear-guy.

I don't think their ethnicity should matter in this situation.

Commuter rail? No. Light rail? You have my attention.

When I tried to call the phone number each time, they did not pick up and never got back to me after my voicemail. What were the 5 open EC classes that you could see?

That always struck me as kind of a fly-by-night operation. There's a long thread about the situation here:

As one commenter mentions the odds may have been better back when the Providence & Worcester was an independent locally-owned operation. But they got acquired by the Genesee & Wyoming which is a huge international RR holding company conglomerate and I expect they're not interested in sharing their right-of-way for anything less than serious $$$ up front.

In the ideal it seems like it would be a good route for DMUs, or perhaps even BMUs, someday. But not sure if the US regulations with respect to operating lightweight units on the same tracks as freight have changed, yet..the FL9 is a museum piece, hope some good Samaritans save it before it rusts away completely.

Probably better if you speak with Admissions at WSU, they'll give you all the info. From what I can see though, there are 5 open EC classes for the winter session, and all of them have capacity

I am not a student at WSU, I just wanted to take the winter course and transfer the credit in, which my college told me would be fine so long as I got the approval from the department head at my school.

Sounds right. I got the same letter like 2 months ago (maybe 3) — logged into my national grid account and pulled up my most recent bill — it now lists DIRECT ENERGY - WORC ELECTRIC AGGREGATION as my supplier. I never had to do anything for the switch. You should be good.

Are you a student there? You can find that info in Blackboard

Providing people with the ability to get out of their cars is the point. Owning an automobile shouldn't be necessary to be a full participant in society.

They’re practicing in the event they need to defend the notch

Huh that's neat

It's the nozzles at the end of the engine adjusting as they change engine output to adjust speed

I can’t really think of any downsides to this. They really should move the DMV and utilize all that parking lot space

There is a company called the Boston Surface Railroad that has been trying to get Worcester to Providence commuter service started for several years now. They even acquired an old FL9 locomotive, which has sat on a siding along 146 for a while now. Unfortunately, it looks like they're still having a hard time getting it off the ground, though I hope they succeed.

I love chatting about music with Joe and the other employee and the prices are great. AND they have harder to find punk 7”s ‘n shit. Oh and Bruce Springsteen’s shoes in a glass case lol.

Joe’s Albums literally right next to the Palladium has a way better selection of vinyl than that’s E
