Hi Viatologists,
Effective immediately, Rhode Island State Routes are added to the *new*
Worldwide Highway Library:
http://worldwide-hwys.calrog.com
Photographs > Americas > United States > State Routes > Rhode Island
Our photographs span the northern tier, from the Connecticut border at US
Federal Route 44 to Providence. We proudly have the clearest and
highest-quality photos of any Rhode Island road website. Come check for
yourself! The state is rich in history, producing some greats as the
Farrelly brothers. You may know this duo as the masterminds behind
slapstick-humour films like There's Something About Mary, Dumb and Dumber
and the recent adaptation of The Heartbreak Kid.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Carl Rogers

Yeah, never mind those old fuddy-duddys like Roger Williams or Anne
Hutchinson who fought for religious freedom, one of the founding
principles of this country, or the fact that Rhode Island was the first
state to declare independence from England, or that it was one of the
leading states in the Industrial Revolution. That's not history at all,
then, is it?
http://mryamamoto.topcities.com/ri42k6/ri942k6.htm also has more photos
than CalQaeda gives you; and they actually show a coherent road trip, as
opposed to random shots of state highway signs.

Well, then again, that does seem to be the WHL paradigm: present crap
to the masses in the hopes that they lap it up like Jenna Jameson laps
up.... (you get the idea, I hope). The only difference is that TSAM
and D&D were somewhat financially successful, which the WHL apparently
isn't.

Your Dashboard Cinema presentations have more quality in 1 second of
footage than the entire WHL has in the whole site.

What the heck is the northern tier of RI? One county doesn't make a
"tier".

I won't poke holes, but I'll add an offshoot possibility to it.
Perhaps his parents were of the mind that you should never tell their
children that they need to put for every ounce of effort. That saying
anything negative to their child will scar the child for life. And so
no matter what kind of school grades Carl brought home, no matter what
effort he put in to any athletics or hobby endeavor his parents gave him
kudos...even though it was all a bunch crap that Carl didn't spend more
than 5 seconds on. His parents knew it, and they knew he could/should
do better but they didn't want to injure his delicate psyche'. And it
would certainly carry over to his academic efforts.
So he never learned what crap is and he continues to produce it.
Take care,
Rich
God bless the USA

C [at] lr0g's ability to name-drop, coupled with his shitty web site, makes him
the human Stuckey's sign.

Your theory is ridiculous enough to be true.

Rhode Island does not have counties, something C [at] lr0g missed.

Counties in most New England states, particularly in southern New England,
are more or less just rubber stamps. The power that the counties held have
since been transferred over to towns or cities.

That's true, but Rhode Island literally has none, not even in name only.

Fairness dictates that I can't let KrlRgrs take the blame for this.
(Lord knows, there's enough else that he is guilty of.) It was I that
first said "county". If RI has no counties, what are the political
subdivisions shown on mapquest called Providence, Kent, Washington,
Bristol and Newport?

There are five geographic areas called "counties," but they have no
governments, revenue, or anything else. Hence they are not "political"
subdivisions. Counties in name only, if you will. There are 39
"municipalities" which fulfill the functions associated with counties in the
other 49 states.
