I mean seriously, a tourism campaign is a big stuffie. Stuffies are great but does it really make you want to come here? Plus the stuffie in the picture is not very attractive. RI comes up with weird tourism campaigns anyway. In 2016, the tourism slogan was cooler and warmer.

Agree -- their campaign falls flat. They need something large and unique to capture attention.

I think they should buy the iconic giant blue bug (you know, the cult classic -- "Nibbles Woodaway" , who's stood above the building over I-95, outside of Providence), since 1980 -- and rebrand him as the official RI state tourism mascot! :p

So,, did your area get hit with a hailstorm as forecasted, or were you lucky enough to bypass it? (Fingers crossed, it missed you!)

Thanks for asking, Minnie…!!! :)
We had some hail, nothing damaging though.
The storms themselves brought a lot of rain, lightning and thunder. Really loud.
My usual country back road, with the 7 low water crossings, was barricaded off this morning, so I had to go the long way back up to the freeway, but, we needed the rain…!!! :)

We had a storm last night in Southeastern Wisconsin and it brought hail. The storm caused power to go out for a short time also.

Sorry to hear that.
Our power flickered a few times, but, fortunately, never went out.
Several cells came through over a coupla’ hours.
Just when you thought it might be over…BOOOOOMMM…!!!!!!!
We did have a pretty bad hail storm in our neighborhood several years ago.
That’s how my old ‘95 Hyundai Accent got the name “Lilly Dimples”…!!!!! :hilarious:

This reminds me, from back in the day, of the Terminix bug down near the UT campus that was often being stolen by fraternities as a prank…!!!!! 😂

@Figgy1 I watched PIC on the big TV without caring Mom was around. Now she has questions and I told her she has to watch it because I'm not answering them for her. 🤣 She's probably going to watch on the way to DL/Hawaii over the summer.

The kind that basically only watch crime dramas and baseball.

So I pretty much only watch Blue Bloods with them and maybe an episode of FBI with them.

Oh, and BBT reruns. Which my father swore "wasn't that funny" when I started watching it (now you can hear him laughing across the house).

We know which one is going to the home, soon;)

Wow, They really blew the Effects budget in the finale.
That was INCREDIBLE!!

That Enterprise D fighting with all its glory, all guns, all phasers.
The spacedock fight.

The whole thing...

Man, the feels.

In the other side, I really expected them to get the Odyssey class Enterprise. Not the LUNA (titan) class.

And I'm so angry that they censored Seven's line for the future series.

Also.. really? Q????
