We’re looking for land to wheel with Ocean State Jeepsters. If you know anyone in the greater Rhode Island area (eastern Connecticut, Southeastern Mass) let us know. We’re eager to trade work for wheeling. We can remove trash, clear roads, and other property maintenance projects.
Here’s a little promotional poster - land-poster.pdf.
My wife went to a meeting last night with town Republicans. As an aside I will let you know, gentle reader, that this post will be littered with Rhode Island, Republican, Kent County, and Coventry. Why? I’m making a point. There is and has never been, and if the course continues, will never be any sort of legitimate presence on the Internet by Republicans in Coventry, or Rhode Island as a whole.
They’ve got a “web guy”. Someone commented about “it’s nice to see young people involved” when my wife walked through the door. Did I mention the Coventry Republican’s web site is down? But they’ve got a “web guy”.
Lets talk Rhode Island Internet user demographics. The higher the education, the greater percentage are online. The higher the household income, the greater percentage are online. Small business owners? Online. Affluent soccer moms? Online.
We bought a house in Coventry knowing that they have one of the highest tax rates in the state. Knowing that the town government was in shambles. Knowing that the fiscal irresponsibility is rampant. Why then did we move to Coventry? Because the schools are good, and I don’t want to learn spanish, and I don’t have the resources or capacity to home school my son.
So, we moved to Coventry. The town that just hired 3 crossing guards for a suburban school that potentially has a dozen students who walk home after. That’s fiscal sanity.
So for any of you who’ve ended here because you’ve Googled “Coventry Republicans”. My apologies. But my point is made. With a little common sense and effort the Republican party could embrace the fastest growing conservative demographics. But as conservatives change is apparently slow.
Break out the teletype machine… you’ll need it for the next round of Republican press releases.
Too busy… much work… had time to go wheeling… here are the results - for all you video challenged people.
Yeah, it was deeper than anticipated.
Here’s the video - I was the second one in.
Ocean State Jeepsters had our inaugural bar-b-que and “play in Bob’s woods” meeting on Sunday. A good time was had by all - Minor carnage, couple of hang ups, much fun.
The video is up on Google Videos (or just click here) - photos below.
