#OTD In the 2000 film Miss Congeniality, Miss Rhode Island is asked by @WilliamShatner to describe her perfect date. She answers "I'd have to say April 25, because it's not too hot, & not too cold. All you need is a light jacket." #OnThisDay#RhodeIsland#History
Take that Phil! Nantucket’s Quentin the Quahog says an early spring is on the way, and we’re happy to report that the groundhog from Pennsylvania was wrong!
We don’t have groundhogs on Nantucket, so we rely on the prognostication of a bivalve. The tradition stretches back to the 1980s and was started by former Nantucket Harbormaster Allen Holdgate.
Quentin the Quahog was opened this morning at the town’s Brant Point Shellfish Hatchery by technician Joe Minella. Quentin squirted to the right, indicating an early spring rather than six more weeks of winter. He then paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Quentin’s prediction goes against that of Punxsutawney Phil who saw his shadow this morning, portending six more weeks of winter.
