I think a lot of the places around here that used to do it have stopped, so it's mostly post offices. And most post offices don't want to have to set up to take and print photos. I went around looking for a place that doesn't require an appointment, and this was all I could find in the first...

Heck - I've gone to an actual passport office where I kind of knew my photo was pretty bad. The color was off from the print (was from a photo printer at Target) and it looked kind of washed out. The clerk at the passport office said it was iffy, but if there was a problem we'd find out at...

I guess if one had enough funds and could call for an Uber ride everywhere, it would be posible. There are a few bus stops a few blocks away, but it's not easy. That being said, I've commuted before where I just had a bike and used public transportation where I was allowed to transport the...

The fastest way would be if you have immediate travel plans, but it won't be easy. I've gotten a passport for a family member in 2 days when we had a ticket and needed to get a visa in less than two weeks. We did it at the San Francisco Passport Agency office, but that required an appointment...

That's $30. Was $20 when it was first available. I think for a child it's $15.

Unfortunately on that trip there was an extrovert. He met someone with a common interest in the lounge car. But then he decided to find his new friend and they proceeded to talk in our coach car for about an hour after the lights had been dimmed and people were trying to sleep.

Nothing wrong with being an introvert on a train. On my Seattle-Emeryville trip I sat next to the same guy from the start, and we never said a single word to each other. Gestures was about it, like pointing when getting up or back to a seat. I guess Amtrak dining cars are another matter...

Steak night or pizza night. There were these two places that had coupons sent in standard monthy coupon mailings, and it was always at a good price. But it was fun.

Dining car meal service is more or less gone now except for those with rooms, where meals are still included. Coach passengers are more or less stuck with the cafe car. And one of the things about the cafe car is that the cheaper breakfast items are often the first to sell out. I was on the...

I heard they managed to get some, including the rights to the book that OJ authorized. Not sure how much that made. But for the most part he managed to shield a lot of that from the judgement, such as his NFL pension, which couldn’t be attached to a civil judgement. Apparently his home in...

I’ve been using H&R Block’s tax program for years, as far back as when it was called Tax Cut and came on a CD-ROM. Some years they even sent me one in the mail and the cost was about the same to use so I just used that by paying to enable it. But my most recent it only cost $25 for the deluxe...

The longest I’ve gone was on the Coast Starlight solo from Seattle to Emeryville. I’ll just say it was uneventful, which is not a bad thing. I’ve also gone from my area to Los Angeles or ARTIC (Anaheim) either solo with the kiddo, but those were bus/train combinations. Also an overnight of...

No jail time. He's required to attend 52 weeks of couseling and must stay out of trouble, but was granded a conditional discharge. https://apnews.com/article/jonathan-majors-assault-sentencing-marvel-new-york-24212fa7708d397452d44f9cbc9fb127 In court Monday, Judge Michael Gaffey sentenced...

I think you'll hear noise. There's an educational farm in my area, and I would think they have some sort of exemption. But they only have one rooster at a time. And that rooster tends to make a lot of noise.

I'd look up the zoning requirements. It's typically a city ordinance that regulates the keeping of livestock. In my county, roosters would only be allowed in agricultural zoned areas in unincorporated areas with a minimum lot size. There may be exceptions for poultry ranches. Roosters are...

They still had a lot of items priced at 99.99 cents. Basically a buck unless I suppose someone manages to buy 100 items to spend one penny less.

99 Cents Only did that for a while. Some were $1.29, $1.49, $1.99, $2.99, $3.99, etc. Most were still at good price points. I remember paying $3.99 for a 3-pack of large 13 oz Reddi-Wip cans. But once I even got a jar of refrigerated pickles for 49 cents. Some of there stuff was clearly...

They’re in four states (California, Arizona, Nevada, and Texas). I preferred them to their biggest competitor (Dollar Tree) since they typically had better selection, larger stores, and fresh produce. The name wasn’t always accurate. A lot was 99.99 cents as well as a lot of items for more...

Most of the stuff I've heard about it were that most just have it scattered, but I suppose the cruise line might have a different policy. I understand that most end up just hiring out a small boat where it's just dropped fairly close to the water level. If the cremains are packaged in a...

It's only going to be around 30% coverage here, but there will be some events. Originally I thought it wasn't going to happen at all.
