I loved that book. I remember shortly after reading it, I was coming home from work, and I pulled into the parking lot of the apartment building. There was a man I didn't recognize smoking at the end of the sidewalk. As I got out of the car and started towards the door, the guy stamps out his...

I recently acquired a kobo device after discovering that Amazon censors books. You can't buy books that Jeff Bezos doesn't agree with. I'm enjoying the kobo device and I was able to transfer my older kindle books to my kobo, but not recent ones.

Well, I guess they wouldn't. The only negative thing is that some mail may still go to the house, and the new owner would be annoyed with it. Heck, I've lived their over 3 years, and I still get the previous owner's mail (junk mail, mostly). But that brings me back to my original question. Are...

But if I sell my house, I won’t have a Virginia address. I know you can have multiple residences, but only one domicile, but if I don’t have an address in the domicile state, that doesn’t make sense.

I've decided for the time being to just stick with having a Virginia residency. I'll be putting my house on the market soon. I don't want to bother with changing my domicile, so I'll just get a mail fowarding address in Virginia, so I can keep my license and car registration as is, and I'll...

Good point. Yeah, it was great that people respectfully didn't address it at my request. That's rare on the internet and just shows what a good group this is, even though, things do get out of hand, even with this forum. I think since it was something weighing on my mind, I plopped it in there...

Thanks for asking. I've been home a while, but have not been in the mood to be online for other than shopping and watching videos. I didn't run into anything worse than heavy rain and really strong winds (in Kansas). Just five minutes outside the van in that wind and I wanted to shave my head...

You know for a fact that it was human? As a dog owner (who always carries bags with me when I walk her), I would assume any turds off the side of a trail were dog turds. When I stay at pet friendly hotels, I'm amazed how many people do not pick up their dog's leavings. Some of those large breeds...

I work in the medical laboratory field (thus the screen name of lab_nomad). ;-)  You're right. It does pay well, and office politics are not a problem. But you still have to deal with co-workers, and I swear to god, I have never had a job, travel or permanent, where there wasn't at least ONE...

What's funny is, of all the places I've been, whether it's Oregon or Massachusettes, they all have the same saying. "If you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes." Yes, we are lucky to live in a time where predicting the weather has become much more accurate. I'm having some issues with the...

Oh, no! I didn't realize HDR passed away! Is there an original post detailing when and how, etc.? That's so sad. He was so helpful and kind and was one of the people I would've liked to meet in person one day.

My plan is to head south to Boise (b/c there's a Cafe Yumm there, and I can stock up on sauce) and then make my way down to 70 (via 84 and 15, if I'm remembering correctly), and take 70 most of the way back home. Good to know about the low risk of encountering snow in October. For some reason...

Thanks for the advice. :-)

Oh, good! I figured there must be a website. That will come in handy. I do have the weather bug app on my phone in addition to the default weather app that came with. This job assignment was a **** show inside a dumpster fire inside another dumpster fire. Beautiful state, nice people, but the...

Great, thanks!

Awesome! Thanks for the advice. :-)

My current assignment in Idaho is wrapping up next week. I'll be driving back to Virginia. My plan for now is to put the house on the market and keep doing traveling medical lab work, although that may change b/c I'm not vaccinated and that may make it hard for me to find work. Anyway, this post...

I don't leave my dog in a car with the windows rolled up parked in the sun. That's stupid and I have better sense. Cars get BLAZING hot parked in the sun. And someone deserves to have the cops called on them if they have a dog in this situation. I'm referring to a tinted window van parked in...

Oh, don't get me started! People do NOT understand how things work. I notice, for example, that my van stays much cooler than my car ever did...larger air space, tinted windows, etc. There's a big difference between uncomfortably warm and fry your brain hot.  I've got a 45 minute commute each...

Those are great tips, Scorpion Regent. Thanks!
