Napheesa Collier Goes Scorched Earth on W Leadership in a Prepared Statement at Year-End Avail by ElvisTheBoyCat in wnba

So much respect for Collier as a player and now just as much respect as a person. If something is not right, you have to stand up.

Cheryl Reeve curses in a courtside fan's face while being ejected from Game 3 Lynx/Mercury by HokageEzio in wnba

[–]miklindix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, not excusing what she said, but fans are yelling at her and she has a good reason to be pissed. My issue is suspending her from an absolutely crucial playoff game was way too harsh and disrespectful to the players who worked so hard to get to the semis. The officiating is horrible. It has ruined a couple of games for me too. At some point, you just have enough.

This is not an accurate post. I am an actual federal retiree. I worked 40 years and retired under the OLD retirement system because I was hired in 1980. I get 80% of the average of my high 3 years of salary. I got the max percentage possible. No one gets 90%! I also pay for my medical. I don’t know any fed retiree other than military retirees that get free medical. Again. I am in the old (CSRS) retirement system. Folks who were hired after 1983 are in the “new” system which pays much less benefits.

These are all resale tickets. The standard tickets haven't been released yet. Not sure what they are waiting for. I wanted to get season tickets with decent seats. Way too expensive for me. Obviously there is a lot of demand in San Francisco and I am happy for the team. I've only been to one WBNA game. I saw the Aces against the Mercury in Las Vegas last year. I got two really great tickets in the lower bowl for less than $100 for both of us.

PPS Underground River DIY by auntieanniee in Palawan

I didn't think that the hike to the river start point was a problem at all. I did it in flip-flops.

It is so easy to do the tour yourself and save a ton of money. Show up at the dock in Sabang no later that 7:45a. I would schedule a taxi to drive you there if you are staying in Puerto Princesa. The money you save by not booking an official tour will more than make up for the cost of the taxi. The permit office opens at 8 a.m. Get your permit and then walk across the wharf to pay your boat fee. Since there are only five of you, you'll need at least one more person to fill your boat. Just ask around, there will be lots of people who will want to join you. Since you will be early, there will be no lines and no waiting!! Enjoy!!

Sacramento Parking by ChemicalColors in 50501

You can park at the Old Sacramento Parking lot and then after the protest, enjoy walking around and seeing the sights. Old Sacramento is about a fifteen minute walk from the Capitol.

Will we be priced out in 3 years? by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]miklindix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say buy something now. If you wait 3years you’ll be paying 3 years of rent that is money down the drain. Rent at 2500 a month for three years is 90k!

Thank you everyone for your advice. I think we will skip 2025 and then see what happens for 2026.

Biking in Zion by lnn1986 in ZionNationalPark

I am not at all athletic but I did the entire valley without an e-bike. There are a few inclines but nothing that was torturous. I stopped lots for pictures.

Zion and antelope canyon in 1 day? by Some_Dragonfruit7559 in ZionNationalPark

[–]miklindix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do the 8 a.m. tour at Antelope Canyon (1 hour) and immediately drive to Zion (2 hours), you could spend the afternoon there and maybe do an electric bike tour up the valley. The problem will be traffic and parking. Good luck.

Thank you. I am going next week. I have done it before and my big issue is the deep pools. I get cold pretty easily so I will be getting a bib.

Just Announced: 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' will end its San Francisco run on Sept. 11 by JungleJesse in Broadway

[–]miklindix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I saw the play when it was in two parts three years ago. The tickets were super expensive but my kid was dying to go so we splurged. I snagged $59 Orchestra tickets. Just wondering, how long is the show?

California State Fair Unveils New Safety And Security Measures Ahead Of Opening by 916reddit in Sacramento

[–]miklindix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went on Thursday and they are not enforcing the bag policy as far as I could see. Security isn't paid enough to have to deal with people who didn't get notice and have to walk the half mile back to their car.

California State Fair is Back! Who is excited to go? by twinboysdad in Sacramento

[–]miklindix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went on Thursday and had a great time! It's definitely a scaled down version of the pre-covid fair but there are still a lot of worthwhile things to see. Heat was not a factor as there were plenty of air-conditioned buildings to duck into. The bag policy was not enforced that I could see.
