It's a shame Bill Cosby turned out to be sexual predator. His routines were always clean. I would play his albums on long car trips when my kids were young and they would laugh like crazy and the time would go by fast. One I think is underrated is Greg Warren Overrated; Jim Gaffigan. IMO I don't...

All creditors likely have to be notified. Often, if the auction price is low enough, it's a creditor that ends up winning the bid in order to protect their investment or minimize their losses. In any case, anyone planning to bid has already spoken with any creditors and has come to some...

These things are never as cut and dry as they seem. They mention other creditors. If there are existing mortgages and liens from vendors for supplies or services on the properties they don't go away in a tax auction. Any successful bidder would still be liable for the mortgages and liens on top...

That area just got hit with the flooding from Hurricane Helene. I wonder how much damage they suffered? It would be hard to believe that they escaped unscathed. Hopefully it's minimal.

I agree. Don't expect the experience at Vail resorts to be better. There will be cost cutting across the board. The stock is down 22% from a year ago. Investors are not happy about that and they're the ones they really want to have an "Epic" experience.If the investors are not happy management...

The lifts at Elk are old but I get the impression that they are generally well maintained. They are all fixed grips but run relatively fast for what they are and I never experience many stops.The resort itself appears to be well maintained. They do a good job with snowmaking and the grooming is...

Nice report. I'm a bit of a train buff myself. One of the cars from the Blue Comet is now part of diner in Clinton, NJ. You can see it from I-78. You can eat in the car. There is some information about history of the Blue Comet on their website link to Wikipedia. Clinton Station Diner The...

Vail hasn't sold any resorts but they may in the future. They are a publicly held company and their stock hasn't been doing so great lately. The stock is down 53% from it's high in 2021. The market doesn't like that and there will be pressure to get their margins up and their debt down, which...

The commentators are always hyping up the women's gymnastics "team". Gymnastics is an individual sport. Those girls compete each other at every competition. When one of them does well the others give her a fake smile and air kiss. They really hate each other and can't wait for Simone Biles to...

Rehoboth is at the coast and Delaware is pretty flat. Does your camper float? 😉

Just got back from a "weekend" trip to St. Petersburg, FL. Was supposed to fly out Sunday night. Rebooked two flights that were cancelled Monday. Drove to Orlando to catch a flight back through Raleigh, NC yesterday.Finally got back to Philly late last night to torrential rain. Got drenched just...

I had a pet crow as a kid. Taught him how to say "Hello". They are very smart. NOVA clip about crows

What a puff piece. "gastronomic glow-up" 🙄

I agree. I do an early season trip every year to Vermont with a group of guys. Two have Epic passes. The rest of us don't. We used to ski Okemo a lot early season but not any more. I'm not paying those prices during the peak season and I'm sure not paying it for early season on limited terrain...

Remember that "New Car Smell"? That was the plasticizer coming out of the vinyl seats and dashboard. :rolleyes:

New technology is always expensive when it comes out on the market. Prices drop as more competition enters the market and efficiencies improve. i.g.: Color TV's, microwave ovens, calculators, video cameras and players, DVD players, flat screen TV's, cell phones....

Did some googling and found it's from a Bagworm Moth.

Anybody know what is going to hatch out of this thing? Hanging from the light by my front door.
