THis thread got me thinking... maybe I don't have enough food and alcohol. so I just ran to BJs, Shaws, Stop and Shop and the Fifth Ward Packie... I think I'm allset.

Now if I can just squeek in some time to go fishing.

I'll be at the Tourny on Sunday, Most likely following this girl around...

And unlike some of you that enjoy looking at 16 year olds, this one is 23.

You must really like her.

Because your going to have to sit in about 4 miles of stand still traffic before you can even get on a bus in Middletown which will then have to sit in gridlock all the way to Ocean Drive.

Unless you have VIP access or time things really well it could be a nightmare.

There's going to be violence somewhere in town this weekend, the locals are awful cranky out on the roadways today. Understandably so...

God what a bunch of whiners the locals are, suck it up and enjoy the tourny for the weekend. Its certainly good for the Newport economy and the state of RI. Its a great event, deal with it for a few days ya big babies.

Good lord the newport folks are whiners. They cant handle some traffic for a few days during a nice event.

Heh. I hope they have footage on the news tonight. Then you'll understand. And unless they figure out how to do things better, you definitely will Sunday morning if you're parking in Middletown at St. George's. You'll be "parked" conservatively 4 miles before you park to get on the bus.

Good for the economy is highly relative, I bet business is slow at many businesses because of the traffic. Anyone who tries to come to the SWE from the West probably isn't going to make it, they're going to give up, turn around, and go home due to the traffic.

Some old couple actually parked in my driveway today since they didn't want to park at St. George's. I wasn't home at the time they arrived otherwise it NEVER would have happened. If that vehicle is in my driveway again tomorrow when I get home from work I'm going to have a field day with some dead eels. I doubt they'll try again though after the talking to they got when I saw them trespassing across the yard on their way back to their Ford Escape. I'm sure they didn't hear language like that anywhere on the golf course. Hopefully I ruined their day in Newport.

If tourists and visitors had an ounce of respect I suspect "locals" wouldn't get so ticked off.
