Happy New Year Five: Safety, Fun, Trash, Likes

Happy New Year - It's been a long year, with good and bad, and now it's time to set your sights on the next 12 months with new ambition and, hopefully, renewed energy:

BE SAFE - The RI State Police have increased patrols for the holiday. Don't add to their work. Be safe, don't drink and drive, and don't overdo it. 

HAVE FUN - If you're feeling the wanderlust in lieu of indoor celebrations nearby, there's Bright Night Providence. Tickets are available online for $15.

Trash - Normal scheduled pickups are one day later thanks to the holiday week (For example, for a Monday holiday, Monday pickup is Tuesday, Tuesday pickup is Wednesday ..and Friday pickup is Saturday.)
