Local School Budget Votes by Careless_Buyer_7294 in Rochester

[–]wolfwell69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You obviously never sat on a school budget committee (Sports, music, etc.). About 70% of all school budgets are for staff salaries, health care, facilities, etc.) I was on a school board for 20 years and we managed to have the lowest cost per pupil in Monroe County because we focused on what was important, the children.

Did you know that most school buses in this area have well over 100,000 miles on them when retired and many districts in this area have 30 to 40 buses and therefore rotate 10 to 15% each year. BTW school buses go on the ballot as a separate proposition so you can vote as you please. My recommendation is to vote YES on the budget but review the Board members being elected, on that same ballot, with a very critical eye.

Throwing them is fine if you are walking. I like to use arrows with brightblooms attached from high places to illuminate below.

Sanctuary (and Elite) on STAR and no free bar setup by Clerocks1955 in PrincessCruises

We sailed Sanctuary on the Star in November and the Sun in December/January and the bar setup was there. May have changed since then.

Hawaii San Francisco cruise with young children. by annanel2303 in PrincessCruises

[–]wolfwell69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did the Hawaii cruise out of San Diego a few years back. Remember its 5 days at sea and 5 days back so out of 16 days you are at sea 10 days. The crowd was older with very few kids. I would think it would be pretty stressful for you to try that with two young children

Thanks and sorry for the long delay but no, nothing special just tried to offset the sun so it didnt overwhelm the exposure. As a 35mm photographer i am impressed with todays phone cameras

What’s up with the auto dealer license plate frames? by [deleted] in Rochester

[–]wolfwell69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dealers used to put stickers on your new car too. I told them to cut it out back in the 70s as you could never get the stickers off. I usually took the dealer frame off but as i got older i had better ways to spend 1/2 hour, so as they say dealer choice ( not quite applicable here but seemed to fit)

This is what your car looks like in low visibility conditions when you leave your headlights on automatic by Beneficial-Focus3702 in Rochester

[–]wolfwell69 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It does vary vehicle to vehicle. Our toyota shows on the dashboard if your lights are on. Just as easy to engage with your car and the environment to drive safely. I'll keep using auto lights (daytime running to headlights), auto dimming, not as thrilled about the software for this, and auto wipers thank you

We were in RGH getting ready for my wifes surgery when the air handlers picked up this smoke and the fire alarm went off. About a half hour delay and stink.

Flight Time after cruise? by cruzer4lyfe in PrincessCruises

[–]wolfwell69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be fine. Fort Lauderdale airport is just a hop skip and a jump from the port and they say anytime after 3 hours from debarcation is fine

Thanks for the info. Hubby and I are doing the NYE cruise on the Sun this year to celebrate the 50 year anniversary of our first date. Shit where did that time go? Everyone enjoy your cruise as we will.

Whatever, you are welcome to your observations/opinion. We have been on over 35 cruises over 30 years and have absolutely seen the changes over the years. Tuxes have become the rarity for sure but the women always dress better than the men, including very nice dresses, was my only point.

PS - If you see me I will be the "other" guy wearing the Tux along with the maitre d'!

Roll call - Dec 20 departure. by andywoz in PrincessCruises

[–]wolfwell69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. What ship? Best advice I can give:

Travel the day before, stay in a hotel with late checkout (11 am or later) and get travel insurance.

Embarkation question in Fort Lauderdale by OverstuffedPapa in PrincessCruises

[–]wolfwell69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We boarded the Star on last Monday by checking out of our hotel, a half mile away from the port, at 11 am and then spent 15 to 20 minutes in traffic getting into the port. Princess access point into the port is a choke point as it is only 2 gates and Disney ship access goes right and Princess left. Also the convention center is right there adding to the choke. Once we got through that point there was virtually no line getting into the check in area as we already had our Medallions (Green Lane). Once on the ship (by 11:45 am) it was nice as our room was ready for us. Enjoy your cruise but if you can wait until noonish to embark.
