Yeah I finally got off of Marlboro Reds after 25 years, went to the ecig vapor thing, it actually does work.

Count the number of cricket chirps in a 15-second period, add 37 to the total, and your result will be very close to the actual outdoor Fahrenheit temperature.

The official state drink of Rhode Island is coffee milk. Autocrat has made the syrup since the 1930s, which is added to milk to make the coffee milk. Its origins are unclear but may be a nod to home from our large Italian immigrant population.
