    That would be so cool. I wonder if there's a way to get hold of his publicist. (Iirc it was a pretty swank-ass van.)

    I will pass that on to my landlord,!

    So my new location is 1.5 hours from the nearest walmart, and you have to close the gate really tight or the javelinas will come in at night. Even the inconveniences are picturesque!

    So in Yuma there is a housing development named Cielo Verde (Green Sky) right next to a housing development named Sierra Montan~a (Mountain Mountains). Ya gotta figure that half these people's employees speak Spanish... you'd think they could have asked someone. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Or...

    So in Yuma there is a used bookstore called Bandanna Books, in the touristy/old-towny Downtown area near the river, that is ... different. Really old paperbacks, good 1970s/80s authors, covered in cobwebs, super cheap, good condition once you get the cobwebs off. Somebody who enjoys...

    Yuma is really RV Heaven. They're everywhere! Especially the big shiny ones. Where my Airbnb is, every second house seems to have one in the backyard. And these RV parks with everyone jammed in like sardines ... brrrrr. Very different from what most of y'all seem to be doing. I'm here for a...

    Visible vs. Verizon Wireless: Plans, Pricing, Data and More

    I've had Consumer Cellular for several years and have been 90% very happy with them. (Some frustrating customer service recently, which is unusual for them, but then we are in a labor shortage.) I'd definitely recommend.

    How do you stretch your income?

    "Common sense" is good. And what you do to save money depends on how much money you have/had to begin with. I'm sure Marie Antoinette economized by eating less cake. (or was it more cake?). There are things I don't even think about doing so I don't think about not doing them either. IOW it's...

    Medicare as a Nomad in 2024

    What Bullfrog said about not waiting too long -- that applies to more than just supplemental insurance. The drug plan maybe? There's some part of it that if you don't sign up within x amount of time then you have to pay a big penalty to get into it later.

    Medicare as a Nomad in 2024

    No point saying an expert can't help you till you've tried. Between SHIP and Medicare's own help desk you should be able to find out a lot. Some parts of Medicare (the whole plan? just the drug plan? ?) change depending on location. If you have worked out other home-base-related issues...

    How do you stretch your income?

    I've had routine dental cleanings done at the local dental hygienist training program. (That's a time investment, though -- they're not fast.) By the way, they like old people b/c our teeth have more problems -- their friends/peers are too healthy to give them much practice (or so I've been...

    Last time I was in Yuma was 1990. LOL where did they put Yuma? My old landlady (where I just left) said "Yuma! I love that little town." LOL again, I don't think she's been here much more recently.

    Medicare as a Nomad in 2024

    What Bullfrog said. Don't try to sort this out on your own and don't rely on individual opinions and experiences when there's trained expert help available for free. There are too many moving parts to this thing and as B. said too many consequences for picking the "wrong" option. Good luck!

    TX Gulf beach camping during summer

    Beachy, that was a very informative and useful post. It reminded me of one more thing -- I remember seeing warnings on the Padre Island website? actual signage? about using caution when remote-beach-camping because if you get stuck in the sand, it could cost hundreds of dollars to get back out...

    Social security

    Nothing in that wording says we're not a democracy. People who have read the constitution take both sides in this argument.

    Social security

    It's gonna take more than a three-minute YouTube to explain that. People debate back and forth on this all the time, and "not a democracy" doesn't necessarily mean what it sounds like.

    TX Gulf beach camping during summer

    Carla 618 said Have you been there? They are very different from Padre Island. Sand beaches are not the Louisiana coast's strong point. IIRC, even finding roads that you can see the sea from is not easy. It's a very special place, but beachy it's not. Justanother's proposed route (all or part)...

    TX Gulf beach camping during summer

    I don't have a lot, but here are a few scraps ... I was at Aransas NWR one day in July a few years back and you almost couldn't get out of the car for the bugs. Don't know how representative that is. You can't really hug the shoreline all the way up the Texas coast, there are places where the...
