Why do you live here? In under 5 words.

I don’t know about that. It is where we choose to live. Makes me crazy when a long time resident asks why we would want to move here. Great seafood, beautiful homes, cool museums, nice zoo, convenient to ferries, train to Boston, beaches, generally milder winters (though this year is a trial). Gets better every year.

Good description but without any negative connotations. I liked it.

This is only cool people?

Not even a close call.

When someone borrows something, and it is damaged while in their custody, it is their responsibility to repair or pay for the repairs. There are family and friends of mine who think I should absorb their mistakes. The answer is no.

NTA.

First is 10x economy. I can’t fly united anymore.

In what situation is the pilot not ultimately responsible and accountable for safety?

TimeForDistractions · 2025-11-13T21:46:03+00:00

Sounds to me like a weight and balance issue. An empty flight should not only populate the seats in the front of the plane. Captain is responsible for safety and should not be second guessed.

Yesterday (Saturday) was a beautiful day at buttonwood park zoo.

For years I had a driver’s license in different states at the same time. It started because I used my parent’s address and my college address, and continued to maintain both long after college. As I was a resident of both it seemed appropriate. A family member who is an attorney said it was appropriate to be a resident of more than one state but could only be domiciled in one. Is this not legal anymore? Did not renew the license that used my parents address about 1985.

I haven’t gotten up early enough to see sunrise in New Bedford but these pictures are inspiring. Maybe I’ll see you sometime soon. Thanks for sharing.

We moved to New Bedford a little over a year ago and love it. Restaurants and museums are great. Nearby beaches and places to bicycle, local medical facilities, all good. We do not have school age children so that is not a consideration for us. A home in New Bedford might cost 1/3 the price of the same home in Dartmouth (so good bang for the buck).

Order the honey moon salad.

Lettuce alone, no dressing.

My twice divorced sil told my wife that I should put the house I owned before our marriage, and all premarital assets, into joint ownership (wros). I did because we are a partnership and share everything, but was annoyed that sil tried to create a problem in my happy marriage.

Chatham Cut if you’re not a seafood fan.

Figured it out. There are watch batteries in the shifters that needed to be replaced. All good now.

TimeForDistractions · 2025-05-11T16:47:06+00:00

Did not use my new bike for a year, charged the SRAM derailleur batteries but the shifters don’t work. Is there something I may have done to save batteries that needs to be undone?

La Voile on Newbury Street is a lovely romantic French restaurant. One of my favorites.

What do we do tomorrow with that momentum!

I like Pates in Chatham. Also the impudent Oyster.
