I think we should all decide that the seekonk river is only a river on an ebb tide, on a flood tide it's the Sea of Pawtucket

Ah yes, many mountains are hills and a few hills are mountains

I think that's almost certainly the case but still I wonder why the race at the mouth of long island sound and the mouth of buzzards bay are not named, since they both see considerable traffic.

Unless the word itself is somewhat regional (like brook vs creek vs kill), hence woods "hole"

Or maybe the problem here is the Northumberland strait is not really a strait and it has poisoned my understanding of the concept

Like, the space between fishers Island and Plum Island in Greenport must be a strait right? It is a narrow that connects long island sound and block island sound/the atlantic

I guess my question is like why is the Northumberland strait a strait but like the space between the elizabeth islands and Martha's vineyard is not. Or long island sound for that matter

The best part of riding my bike to work is that when I have a bad day I can just pedal real hard and that helps

... Also I don't have to fill up my bike with expensive gas

I think the baked good only gets named straits. I'm willing to accept that hypothetical straits require in-person real time food and drink conveyance

What if I ask nicely with my best handwriting and a novel ethnic baked good?

Impossible to build housing but this is fine with the town ostensibly

Northumberland strait obviously has my heart but I'm curious, Woods hole and Quicks hole are straits right? Why do we call them holes? Is the race between Long Island and fishers Island a strait? Is the cape cod canal a strait???

Recycling metal is very good and these guys are very bad at it! But the city has tried nothing and is all out of ideas

I don't want them to do it but I'm worried, based on historical precedent of people saying no to trump, that he will make them and it will be bad bad bad

I'm worried the navy providing escort service is a cynical accelerationism on the part of certain members of the administration

It doesn't make any sense though, after 9/11 the people of the US rose up and ousted the bush regime. Why wouldn't that happen elsewhere?
