3) Any good resources on using the subway / passes to get around?
Google Maps works fine to get you from place to place on the subway. You can just tap to pay using phone or credit card. (I would usually hand my daughter a CC as we approach a turnstile and then collect it from her after, to speed everything up)

4( Transport to/from LGA - Uber? Shuttle? Train/subway?
Uber works well - I will usually schedule a car service to and from the airport(s).
The train sucks because you have to go bus > train > maybe a transfer somewhere (depending on where your hotel is) > street walking, all while schlepping your shite around. Just get an Uber or car service and have them drop you at the front door. (It's BETTER from JFK and Newark, but only if your subway stop is near your hotel.)

Let's start with the border. Does the influx of over 30 million illegal immigrants into this country help or hurt wages, inflation, and job availability?
Why has no administration done anything of value to change immigration over the last 40 years?

Tonight we got a positive pregnancy test and we are both over the moon. It was the perfect ending to the trip.

I am planning (posted about it last week) a trip to Utah and Wyoming, with my 10 year old that joined the family after many fertility issues.

Looks like NBA League Pass will be free this weekend . It is their usual opening season promotion. Looks like I will be able to watch the Pelicans a few more times before I have to figure out my next step.
$5 bet on FanDuel gets you three months of League Pass for free.
That will get you to January.
It's always cheap after the All-Star break. :dunno:

First off, how often do sizable earthquakes happen in the US? They are few and far between. How often do they happen in a place like Alaska versus a place with high population. The fact that the Loma Prieta quake happened in a densely populated area is notable, but to happen during a World Series played by two teams from that area is incredible.
Republicans still had control of the weather machines back then

for 2 hours last week and one customer came in to browse. Middle class America has things locked down.FTR, this is going to get ugly with mortgages and car payments and because people simply can’t make the numbers work. Insurance alone is a fricking horror show.
People stopped trying to keep up with the Joneses and started trying to live that social media famous life.
We bought a C+/B- house more than 10 years ago. Refi'd during CoVID, took 10 years off the note, and took out no additional money.
We drive one old-arse car and one 4 year old car that has a $300 note.
(And we're top 5% income earners in Louisiana.)
Too many people trying to live WAY above their means.
"The economy is fricked" rings hollow when you're trying to float a $5K mortgage and two $1K car notes.
(The economy is fricked for a wild number of reasons - few of which are tied to any one particular politician, past or present.)

Two weeks - "Out West National Parks"
Posted by Sheep on 10/17/24 at 10:52 am
Planning for a two week trip, beginning a few days before Memorial Day next year.
My current best idea is to fly into Vegas, rent a car, do Utah one week, SLC or Park City for the weekend (national parks will be packed) and then Grand Teton and/or Yellowstone the following week. Maybe fly back to MSY from Denver? (We have friends in CO.)
Here's some background / assumptions:
-We (Me, Mrs. Sheep, Lil' Ms. Sheep (aged 10)) have done national parks before. We are experienced travelers.
- I would tent camp, Mrs. Sheep will not, so we will stay in hotels, probably of a Hampton Inn-level (for this trip).
- When we go to national/state parks, we usually hike - but 5-6 miles is kind of the max. Half day stuff. We won't be dragging it 14 miles into the wilderness and back. Many times we have done a 3-4 mile hike in the morning, had lunch and done the same in the afternoon.
- We don't just drive through the NPs, we usually get out and walk around a bunch. Sometimes we spend multiple days, sometimes it's just one full day in a park.
- We've been to SLC, Park City and Grand Teton before (and want to go back), Lil' Ms. Sheep has not seen this part of the world.
How would you structure a trip like this?
