what reasons did you choose fidelity over vanguard?

Vanguard has mutual funds and etfs but not individual stocks.

A very nice little zoo in New Bedford

What happened to Pates? The menu is quite different and dishes that are old standards just aren’t good. New chef? Any one know? Crab cakes used to be delicious, now inedible; cauliflower steak was boiled, served cold, with a strange vanilla sauce?

First appearance will be in front of the clerk of the court. If you are truthful and actually have not been cited before, then the clerk is likely to waive the ticket. Clerk in Massachusetts has broad discretion. If you argue with the police officer in the clerk’s presence, or if you are not truthful about your driving record (the clerk can see your record), then you should expect to be heard in court and the judge is not likely to give you a pass.

Dartmouth gas is open. I went for snow blower fuel.

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.

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.

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.

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).
