re: Wegmans grocery store

Posted by McVick on 4/19/24 at 6:41 am
What I'm about to say may rustle some jimmies on this board, but Wegmans carries a very good pack of andouille sausage. There's no Louisiana-made andouille at the markets where I live and their pack, usually in the deli section or near the fancy cheese section, is by far the best of all the options....
I'm glad to read you had a good time at King Arthur. I thought about suggesting a trip there but didn't know how much interest there'd be in it. I drive by it maybe 1-2 times a year but I never stopped in until a month ago. Maybe less than five miles from there is the Dartmouth campus which is prett...
I'm glad to see you're having a good trip. [quote]Side note…if you think the LP has white trash, you haven’t been to new hampshire LOL. Good lord[/quote] [Quote]I always say New Hampshire is the Alabama of the northeast. Not a compliment.[/quote] I take that back. ...
I would favor one option if I was a voter in a situation like this. The team can receive taxpayer money in exchange for equity in the form of partial team ownership. State, county, whoever puts up the money should be offered the option to own a part of the team. But there's no way any major sport...
I remember reading something that the A's are reported to make $65 million (or thereabouts) this year from their TV broadcasting rights, and something like $70 million next year. However, if the A's don't play their home games in the Bay area the TV network has the right to renegotiate the deal. If ...

Forecast has me in the 12-18" range, with the snow stopping around 10pm. At least it's a light, fluffy snow. ...

FBD- Lunch for dinner. It's been snowing non-stop since late last night. I've shoveled four times already today and about to bust out the snowblower. [img]https://i.imgur.com/FKvK8HW.jpg width=550[/img]...

You bet whatever you want (cash or have venmo/paypal/ApplePay capabilities there), if your tee shot finishes on the green they double your money, if you lose it then your bet money goes towards the fundraiser. **Must have an attendant at green to witness.

re: Expensive apartments and housing

Posted by McVick on 2/29/24 at 8:08 pm
This motivated me to look up the current rental rates at a former apartment complex when I lived in California. Back in the late 00's the rent was $1400/month for a 1br/1br under 700 sq ft. Today available rentals start at $2600/month. It's hard for me to imagine how people make that work. ...

re: Laguna Beach trip.

Posted by McVick on 2/27/24 at 11:51 am
There public access to the beach at The Montage. I don't think many people go there, or it's not as crowded as the downtown public beach. Crystal Cove is a nice one as well. Try to get a reservation at The Beachcomber in Crystal Cove. ...
[quote]In the long term we’re going to have a breakaway and a union and a salary cap. It’s inevitable[/quote] DS, can you explain to me how that will work?

re: Are out of state colleges worth it?

Posted by McVick on 2/20/24 at 12:48 pm
It depends. Some programs have really nice facilities, world-renound faculty, an impressive alumni network, and useful internships. Identify what matters most, create a grading rubric based on wants/needs, compare the in-state school and any out-of-state schools being considered, and make an i...

Also something to keep in mind- the A's lease with the City of Oakland at the Coliseum ends this year. There is no firm plan yet for a new stadium in Las Vegas, with current estimates seeing a completion around 2028. The A's will need a place to play home games while they wait for the new stadium to...
If you stay downtown- Mama Js Cafe, Perlys restaurant at The Jefferson Secret Sandwich Society. Plenty of places to eat in Carytown and Scott's Addition. And an absolute stop is Proper Pie....
