I'm looking forward to it being available around me in southern New England some day.
There is nearly zero public transit within 15 miles of the MA-RI-CT tri-state border area. Uber/Lyft can take hours to pick up out here so they aren't very useful for the cost.

My sister and I revived a tradition about 10 years ago when I moved in to help her out. Every Wednesday it's pasta, salad and garlic bread cooked by the two of us just like it was 1978.
If either of us forgets and asks the other one what day it is on a Wednesday, the reply is simply Anthonyyyyy!

I love seeing Barred Owls here in the eastern USA where they evolved but they are an invasive species in the western USA.
They need to be controlled to protect not just the NSO but also other flora and fauna, that we don't yet know much about, who's existence is inextricably linked with the NSO.

They mostly hang around their favorite fishing spots, where the waves crash on the rocks.
Breeding range is the whitewater streams of northern Canada and they migrate south to fish our warmer rocky Atlantic shores :-)

It really makes no sense to me. I think of vibrant as a compliment not an insult.

Most of the restaurants I go to have removed the prices for all steaks and most other beef, they just say market price now. Only the chains still have fixed prices.
