Yes, of course. Just pointing it out because this gift is an act of friendship. It's important to recognize who the friend is.

I've never been to the races. Has anyone here? Is it a popular event?

Yes I have. Highly recommend. They also have food and a drumming event.

>>Wherever!

Not to get political but Taiwan is a strong ally to the US and is democratic. China wants them back, it could be a situation in years/decades to come.

Great news on the boats!

Agreed. That's part of why I said big difference!

I would rather Pawtucket kept Memorial Hospital, the PawSox, and Hasbro over getting six boats that are used once a year.

Memorial Hospital, the PawSox, and Hasbro: the Pawtucket "Big Three". It sure seems like Mayor Grebien, when he gets back from Taiwan, needs to channel Rick Pitino.

I think the new train stop will help revitalize Pawtucket- which will quickly become an even bigger commuter housing option for the Boston employed.
