By the way, Rhode Island, which I actually like, is more of a condition than a State.
The clam cakes I remember as a kid at Aunt Carrie's on Judith's Point were a treat. And there was a Nazi sub sunk off shore too. Plus some farms on the way which were not really farms but military bases disguised as farms. Even when I was a teen, I liked RI. Narragansett beer was cheap and very drinkable.
Only recently did I turn. Tried to sell at a street fair in RI. The state sent me so much paperwork, I sent it back and said no way, no how would I ever step foot in RI again and I sure would never consider doing business there. I could spot a set up when I saw it.
