Gawddamn, I feel I let you all down. Remiss in my duties even.  I have been following the entire saga and didn't think to post this. The only real original news story I have ever come up with. Well man eats dog story at least. Quite the chemical mystery and so unbelievable it was hard to convince people it actually happened in broad daylight to that broad. Plus I went right past that day on my way to get oysters and clear broth clam chowder. And Choad is right, Jamestown and its brethren Narragansat are where bluebloods go to die.  I reccomend you keep on driving till you get to the Mantunuck oyster farm bar.

- A Connecticut woman is recovering from fractured ribs suffered during an unexplained explosion on a Rhode Island beach over the weekend.

Sixty-year-old Kathleen Danise's family says she has vacationed at Salty Brine Beach in Narragansett, Rhode Island, for 30 years, and had experienced no problems there until Saturday.

The family says she was thrown 10 feet into rock breakwater during the explosion near her beach chair.

Danise reportedly suffered a concussion, two fractured ribs, and internal bleeding.

According to Danise's sister, Laura Demartino, another sister who was present at the time of the blast was also injured.

"There was a massive bang and I seen the actual rocks shift and move," Demartino told CBS Affiliate WPRI Sunday. "And I started screaming, 'Get up, get up!' The same time I'm screaming, the sand erupted, threw my sister from there, like a live canon, face-down, unconscious 10 feet away."

Danise was released from the hospital on Sunday and returned to her home in Waterbury.
A registered nurse, Danise told reporters Sunday that she was reading a book as she and her family watched a man prepare to go scuba diving. "He was putting on his scuba diving gear, and that's the last thing I remember."

The beach was reopened Sunday after officials found no evidence of an explosive device or gas line under the sand and declared the beach safe.

WPRI correspondent Madeline Wright says officials are looking into a buildup of gas or a shift in the jetty as a possible cause for the blast. Officials said there was clear evidence of a "ground disturbance" at the site.

"There was some type of noise and some type of energy transfer," Chief Kurt Blanchard, of the Rhode Island Dept. of Environmental Management, told WPRI.

The state fire marshal's office continues to investigate.

Hurray for science!

Maybe she just needs to change her diet...?

Well, I've obviously been accused of such however I do believe your science is correct.

Nahh, the biggest little's bluebloods retreat to quaint, hideously boring West Bay enclaves like Poppasquash, Touisset, Nayatt Point and all of Little Compton.

You had me buying it up until that point.  Been there but only on business for a friend and only during broad daylight; there was still a cop chopper overhead even then.  Nobody goes to that part of Compton ever if they can avoid it.  Hell even the Rent-a-Wheel company when broke in that neighborhood.

Yup movers, shakers and High Street players....

It is just a little too far out for commuting, but the yuppies ate moving in.

I was there the other day. Sometimes take the bike there  and visit whatever honor farmstands  people set out. Or go visit the vegetable farm in Tiverton.  The farmers market on Aquidneck is way too expensive now.
