North Kingstown, RI – Good morning, Ocean State. This is Bob Plain, editor and publisher of the RI Future blog podcasting to you from The Hideaway on the banks of the Mattatuxet River behind the Shady Lea Mill in North Kingstown, Rhode Island.

Today is Tuesday, January 14 and our show today is brought to you by Largess Forestry, our first podcast sponsor. Forest preservationists and licensed arborists, no one will care for your trees better than Matt Largess and his crew. If you’ve got a tree or a woodlot in need of some sprucing up, call Matt today for a free consultation at 849-9191.

Rhode Islanders can expect rain and warm weather today, with temperatures getting close to 50 degrees. In other words, it will be easy even for the simple-minded to recognize the planet is warming today. Thanks God, for making it a little harder for the right-wing spin machine to spread lies about the health of our planet…

And speaking of conditions that question our assumptions about the world … General Treasurer Gina Raimondo, it seems, will be running for governor as a progressive. Her campaign logo even looks like RI Future’s!! For royalties, we only request that you pay us a visit here at the Shady Lea Mill and be our guest on the podcast.
