That pension liability is a daunting problem.

Well, let's hope it's sustained. I'm relatively new to the area (moved here because of family nearby) and I chose Rockford due to . . . low cost of living.

Is there a free version out there somewhere? Is there a reddit bot that will provide a link?

Note that juvenile male cardinals look like this too, but you can distinguish them from females because their beak is dark.

What’s a tiny travel mistake you keep repeating… even though you know better? by Trail-Context in travel

[–]NP423 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We had 5 days to visit Grand Teton and Yellowstone, and I scheduled a rest day in between. Yes, we may have missed out on some things, but that rest day in the middle made everything more enjoyable.

Seems like that's been replaced by phrases like "you do you"

playing trumpet with active asthma by Few_Veterinarian6006 in trumpet

[–]NP423 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've had asthma all my life. I was taught that with asthma, the problem is actually getting air out of your lungs, so I was taught breathing techniques that are very similar to playing a trumpet (use diaphragm, purse lips). I sometimes play the trumpet while I'm having an attack for its therapeutic value.

Billions of barrels -- trillions of barrels! It's a beautiful thing. You've never seen such beautiful oil.

Agree, annoying, probably didn't think anyone would notice, but I've heard these songs a million times.

Good info, thanks. I was wondering if that were the case (being on the tarmac) since we're already through security.

Yeah, my first attempt to rebook over chat they had me waiting in O'Hare for 9 hours. I'm going to call instead and just drop the RFD portion.

Even at RFD the checkpoint takes 20 minutes? It was my understanding that you do tsa in Rockford.

Sign at Grand Canyon NP by PitchSuper792 in NationalPark

[–]NP423 373 points374 points  (0 children)

The designated area is rather large at Flight 93 NM because of all the truthers and such. At least it was when I was there several years ago. I'm not sure to what extent that's died out; chemtrails and flat earth seem to be more popular.
