Your Boxing Day viewing conundrum is solved.

The @wtyppod.bsky.social NorthEast Corridor tour live shows are now online for us all to watch.

I'm watching the Washington DC show featuring a surprise appearance of a be-kilted @garethdennis.uk

It's a heck of a lot of fun!

I’ve posted this before but the light was perfect today- a little Victorian cat paw in a brick at the front of the old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. As this is on the front-facing corner of the main gates, the bricklayer quite clearly put it there on purpose, at a height where children would spot it.

Lincoln’s original proclamation of Thanksgiving Day from 1863 doesn’t really go into colonist-native relations, but it does recommend “humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience.” www.battlefields.org/learn/primar...
It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union.

I had to go to a store on Bald Hill Road yesterday, so I took the bus(es). A total of 6 buses and a 4+ hour excursion for a trip that would have taken about an hour total with a car. If you ever want to feel like you're the least important person in the world, wait for a bus on Bald Hill Road.
A bus stop on Bald Hill Road (RI Route 2). There is no sidewalk, only dirt with patchy grass. There is no seating, no shade, and no trash container. There is a pile of trash near the sign. Cars are speeding by at 40+ mph, and the backside of the bus stop is a Land Rover dealership.

Day 21 - Icon
Rhode Island Public Libraries

Here are the Public Libraries across Rhode Island. The symbol is from the @nounproject.bsky.social, which is probably one of the best subscriptions I have. The symbols are graduated by square footage.

Day 20 - Water
Narragansett Bay Watershed

10 Days to go! I am starting to feel a little repetitive. 😰 The bathymetry saved this one.

Almost all of Rhode Island is in the Narragansett Bay Watershed. I think I will expand this one into a large format map one day.

one of the more frustrating things about AI shit is that it, unfortunately, represents how a lot of older types think the computer should work ("ask it questions, get answers, talk with it") and normal interaction with a computer makes them terrified they'll hit a "blow up everything" button
