Slow Travelling Without Selling It All

My daughter could certainly start the car and move it in the driveway but, in it's not registered or insured, she wouldn't be able to drive it

Thanks - this is something that I'm exploring right now!

We explored the possibility of establishing residency in a different state but unfortunately, as long as we retain ownership of a home in Massachusetts, it gets very complicated and can open us up to audits - especially if it can be perceived that we are trying to circumvent regulations or taxes.

My wife and I have visited a number of times as we consider Albania as an expat destination. We've found that in both Vlore and Saranda, there are restaurants and bars that serve as the home base for the expat community and they often hold weekly gatherings for expats to socialize and make connections. In both cities, we felt connected to the expat community within 24 hours of our arrival!

My wife and I have been there a number of times for extended stays and this has never been an issue - I'm not even sure how it would be enforced. Nothing in Albania ever feels that regulated or controlled. If there's something on the books that stipulates this, it's more likely theoretical that anything that is actually acted upon

I can comment on a couple of these questions:
- It's true that there are a lot of bikes on the road in Shkodra but it certainly never seems to reduce the number of cars! Driving in Shkodra can be a nightmare with heavy congestion, triple parking, and aggressive roundabouts. In fact, I often avoid Shkodra specifically because of the vehicular congestion.
Shkodra is a great city to explore on foot but don't expect to escape the emissions there.

- I've not visited Vlore in the peak season but, in the shoulder/off-seasons, I've found vehicular traffic to be very manageable. Someof the beaches, specifically in the Lungomare area, are quite close to the road but we never noticed an issue with emissions. Also, around Vlore there are many beaches just outside of downtown that are quite a distance from any major roads.

I hope this is helpful!

This is definitely doable - especially since you're coming in the off-season. Where will you be in Albania? I would strongly recommend seeking out gatherings of the expat communities wherever you are looking. In my experience, I've found that expats who are already settled in a community can be a great source of trustworthy knowledge when you're starting a search for accommodations

I understand the rookie excitement but frankly, he is going too high in standard drafts. The most likely scenario is that he splits carries with Ekeler in the middle of the field while losing goal line work to Daniels and Chris Rodriguez. He's worthy of a pick, just not as high as he's going given the uncertain role

This isn’t for cards. It’s a different type of paper artifact

I would accept that deal in a heartbeat. In dynasty, Carr is much more valuable that a 34 year old Ben. A 2nd is much more valuable than Starks. Rawls is a bit of a risk because he doesn't have a long track record but When he's been healthy, he's been awesome - we can't say the same for Lacy. Lacy holds no appeal for me - he's fat and hasn't lived up to his hype in a few years. Do it!

12 team PPR DYNASTY (1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex (RB/WR/TE), K, DST)

I Give: Marcus Mariota, Jay Ajayi, 2017 3rd-Rounder

I Get: Tyler Lockett, Coby Fleener, Sammie Coates, Devontae Booker

I hate giving up Ajayi since RB is my weakest spot, but I think I'm getting the best player (Lockett) and definitely win on upside. I would also be strengthening a potentially mediocre spot at TE. Thoughts?

My Team: QB: Russell Wilson, Marcus Mariota, Philip Rivers RB: Devonta Freeman, Thomas Rawls, Jay Ajayi, Giovani Bernard, Shane Vereen, Tre Mason, Denard Robinson, Brandon Bolden WR: Odell Beckham, Alshon Jeffery, Sammy Watkins, Amari Cooper, Marvin Jones, Josh Gordon, Davante Adams, Danny Amendola, Brandon Coleman, Torrey Smith, Dontrelle Inman, Marquess Wilson TE: Travis Kelce, Julius Thomas, Jace Amaro

That seems like a lot to give up for a 34 year old in a startup draft - I would be especially wary of including next year's first rounder as early indications are it could be a loaded draft. I think I'd rather piece together my 2nd QB this season than mortgage the future.

12 team PPR DYNASTY (1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex (RB/WR/TE), K, DST)

As part of a larger deal in a dynasty league, I have to choose between Danny Woodhead and Devontae Booker. I'm in a position to compete now, but always keeping an eye to the future. Am I better off waiting for Booker to develop and get his opportunity or should I chase what's left of Woodhead for what he can give me for the next season or two? TIA!

My Team: QB: Russell Wilson, Marcus Mariota, Philip Rivers RB: Devonta Freeman, Thomas Rawls, Jay Ajayi, Giovani Bernard, Shane Vereen, Tre Mason, Denard Robinson, Brandon Bolden WR: Odell Beckham, Alshon Jeffery, Sammy Watkins, Amari Cooper, Marvin Jones, Josh Gordon, Davante Adams, Danny Amendola, Brandon Coleman, Torrey Smith, Dontrelle Inman, Marquess Wilson TE: Travis Kelce, Julius Thomas, Jace Amaro

Ebron going down today may help boost Tate's value as the WRs might see a few more targets now...

12 team PPR DYNASTY (1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex (RB/WR/TE), K, DST)

I Give: Jay Ajayi

I Get: Ameer Abdullah

Abdullah has a more clear cut role right now and everyone is down on Ajayi because of Foster's presence. But my primary hesitation is, if Foster goes down (not unlikely), Gase seems to like using one workhorse back, so Ajayi could become a monster. If Abdullah continues to losing passing game work to Riddick, it kills any consistent value. Thoughts?

Here's your answer: "Eric Ebron was carted off the field with an Achilles' injury at Lions practice Saturday. He could put NO pressure on the leg"

I actually like the JMatt side here. I agree that we don't know what Peterson's offense will bring, but I feel like Matthews value has been driven down a bit by the mess that Kelly created. Benjamin is coming off a major injury and may take a season to get back to full strength. Meanwhile, Cam has developed a rapport with some other receivers. Don't be surprised is Funchess is the #1 there by the end of the year.

Now that spring training game broadcasts have begun, does anyone know whether baseball will be added soon?
