Oh hey, sorry to hear about the torrential flooding. I hope that everyone is safe and well. I saw videos of Olneyville and the Warwick Mall flooded out. The Warwick Mall even has a rip current starting at the corner of Macy's and going past the statue in front of the food court. Where I grew up (Stonington-Mystic-Groton) got whooped pretty bad too. Old Mystic literally became a river.

Accelerated climate change is a fact.

Hello all,

Apparently my new hometown is in the running for the Google 1 gigabit fiber network trial.

Please vote for Sarasota...that would be most awesome.
