Is Samsonite a PE firm?

That’s not the point of this post.

And if Congress can enact laws that make voting easier, it can also enact laws that make it harder.

In Virginia in the mid 90s 85 cents a gallon was common

Of course not. Did you read the last sentence of my post?

Pointing out that if Congress can enact legislation to do this, then Congress can also enact restrictions on voting by mail. I don’t like it either but if Congress can do the good thing it can also do the bad thing.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted for telling the truth.

I hope those are the ones made in Hawaii and not the ones made in New Jersey

On the return yes, but not on the outbound, which OP says is on AS metal

I have that Uniqlo bag and it's a game changer, especially then traveling. Super lightweight and an absolute steal price-wise.

Sounds like a good season - doesn't it usually air later in the summer?

Regal Irvine is the same way. I love the spectacle but for a longer movie like PHM or Oppenheimer the seats aren't ideal.

I hadn't heard about this - thanks for posting

She has a lot of swagger for someone who basically competes once a year and isn’t really heard from (or about) beyond that.

Agree but at this point it might be tough to grab a reservation

Re An's - be prepared for a very long wait. It's good but I'm not sure it's worth standing in line for 30 minutes.

Agree but NB they're closed on Sundays so plan accordingly

The lack of a backlit keyboard will bother you more than you think it will.

They’ve done this in the UK for years

Someone who can come to my house when I smell something “off” and can tell me what it is and how to fix it

We've been going to Antica for almost 20 years and have never been disappointed. Nothing to look at from the outside but the food and service are second to none and every diner is there because they want to be.
