02 July 2003 - 10:33 a.m. Is anyone doing anything fun on the fourth? I'm going to my parents' during the day, but after that we've got nothing planned. We were supposed to go to a party that night, but when we asked about it they said, "well, we aren't even sure we're going to be around that day." Okayyyy. . . So, they're out. Maybe we'll just go to eighties night at Club Hell. Who wants to go to eighties night? (0) Comments?

02 July 2003 - 9:30 a.m. So, let me tell you why Melissa got into an car accident yesterday. On two streets in Providence, the city has decided to install 4-foot-square granite planters every twenty feet on both sides of the street. In the middle of each planter is a tree. The granite slabs are raised about six to eight inches and the planters are situated about a foot from the curb in the street. The granite slabs are sharp-edged blocks. This is supposed to slow traffic. It is alsoo the most stupidly dangerous piece of engineering I have ever seen in my entire life. It worked though. It slowed my wife's car so suddenly that the air bags deployed. Yet another example of the Rhode Island DOT's motto. "Screw you. It ain't my problem." (0) Comments?
