Two fishing boats burnt in Galilee and now this. Hmmmmmm
Please tell me George’s is still open - I want my cakes and chowdah.
“WE sank a truck!”
Operation Petticoat!
Propane tank (but those are usually vented and okay even in a fire) or fireworks, or an aerosol can in an incinerator or open fire.
:o)
I’m from RI. Salty Brine was an old radio personality. Much loved in the state. “No School, Foster Glocester!”
Time to get out the metal detector old geezer brigade?
Rosie O'Donnell lives in New Jersey.
Maybe she bought 5 seats on an Airbus and flew to RI.
Walter Leslie Brian (1918 - 2004).
He worked at WPRO from 1943 until 1993.
The beach in question was named after him in 1990. It was formerly known as the Galilee State Beach.
Climate Scientists (sic) have explained this phenomenon for us.
When clouds are formed overhead, they trap heat.
Apparently, this was a really big cloud, that trapped so much heat, it caused the beach to explode.
This is why Liberals never go to the beach. Plus, there's that skin-cancer thing.
Ed, Why you want to admit that you are from RI? I never do.
His son had a radio program in MA.
“No evidence off a device.”
Now that is weird.
Plastic explosive material.....leaves no debris. It’s all consumed inthe explosion.
How do you detonate it without any trace? Even primacord leaves residue and it couldn’t have been used here. A small plaster would make a bigger boom unless there was a lot of sand over it. I cheerfully admit that my knowledge is mostly pre1980.
I’m not from Rhode Island, only lived there for a few years as a regional service engineer. Salty Brine did morning drive radio during the time I was there.
