Rhode Island, so a bit of a hike :)
But the bigger issue is that it would involve one of us driving through Connecticut, which has been shown to cause terminal boredom in lab animals.
- eggy 2y agoFunny, I only recently started visiting Connecticut to visit some friends who moved there! Rhode Island, the first to declare independence from England, and the last to ratify the Constitution. Not bad.
- CoastalCoder 2y agoIndeed. Also, Rhode Island has: - the Touro Synagogue, the oldest synagogue in the U.S. - Naval Undersea Warfare Centers, Newport, whose predecessor (IIUC) built the world's crappiest torpedoes until a few years into WW2. Drop me a line if you're ever in the area! "${my_hn_username}HN@gmail.com".
- eggy 2y agoCool. I certainly will if I head up there. Probably when the weather warms up ;) Crappiest torpedos? I'd like to know why!
