Message: <blockquote data-quote="TerryMiller" data-source="post: 4039429" data-attributes="member: 7900">Had a day of rain here in Rhode Island yesterday, with the airport less than 2 miles away getting around 3 inches.  That ended our work day yesterday, and while it is still cloudy and somewhat foggy in places, it doesn't look like we will get started very early today.  I suspect it may be 10:00 am or later before we get going.In most states that we have done our Summer job in, when it rains in one area, one can drive to another area and still keep working.  Rhode Island is so small that just about any rain will cover the whole state.  We are amazed that a state about the size of a postage stamp can have 5 million people in it.That is, until we get out and start working and face the traffic and downtown pedestrians.  Folks here think they can cross the streets anywhere and cars will stop for them.  They also tend to park their cars wherever they want to park them.  (Granted, most of that is within Providence itself, which also has a number of colleges and universities, whose attendees just almost dare a driver to hit them.)</blockquote>
