I am from Los Angeles. RI is less than a quarter the size of Los Angeles County. It is one of the reasons I chose RI. Everything is close. It takes less time to get to Boston than to drive across LA county at rush hour.

It is not about the money for me. It is about the environment and leaving the smallest carbon foot print possible...saving money is a nice side effect.

That counts! I have heat pumps and gas boiler. Not using heat pumps and with thermostat set at 62, heat rarely comes on.

I am a 62-63 thermostat setter myself. Heat has been coming on since October, but not super frequently. Low 60s is a good energy saver mode.

There are many issues voted upon and advocated for in the house from both sides that don't benefit states individually. You are either arguing in bad faith or ignorant about how the house of representatives works.

He is a great representative though and did great work on one of TFG's impeachments.

Are you referring to Phillips Plumbing and Mechanical? What happened? I have used them but I may have dodged a bullet. Was gonna hire them again.

There are many contradictions in your comments simple. For example, you complain about the shows being taken away at the aquarium yet those shows are some of the most inhumane things done to animals. Yet you are complaining about animal treatment. You complain about animals "hiding" but maybe they were resting rather than being forced to parade around. They have comfortable spaces to just be themselves. Meet the animals on their terms not yours...it is not all about you.
