Now I want tacos. Wachusett Brewery stopped selling their fish tacos this summer. I miss them.
-
I personally have no issues with it. I like doing it. If my elderly mother in law (89?)can make one less trip into a crowd (even non Covid related...her driving isn’t so good) I feel better. She hand delivered to her local ballot box early. I got an I voted pen today (they were not RE-using them) instead of an I voted sticker.

State. US Senate and rep. Some local stuff. Primaries
-
Our volunteers all appeared to be past retirement age today. Still seemed very safe. I’m not personally worried about mail getting lost etc. delayed yes... I’m glad there are options (absentee, mail in, early) It should be fine
-
Sometimes I vote against someone. Lol Our son voted for the first time today
-
I just voted in person. I almost did the mail in ballot to be deposited at my town hall but figured I had time. We never have too many people at our sole polling place. For those who need (elderly, frail) it I feel mail in done the right way is useful and low risk.

Very hard to get into the vocational (trade) school here. It is by lottery after you clear the requirements. Place is packed and they get new equipment all the time. The teachers make good coin too. Welding and electrical are prob their top two groups, their health stuff is in high demand as well. Our son did well via the carpentry program. Way ahead of his peers at his university

Regarding youth employement numbers. Back when I was a teen, there were a lot of min wage jobs that adults wouldn’t take so we had a good choice. I got a supermarket job and was soon making a bunch of $$$. A lot of those jobs are now filled by older people as either a second income or to try to make it work for their families. Fewer openings for high school kids. There are some to be sure though. Our son has been working at least part time since age 16.

Well, 60% don't survive their first year anyway and 80% close within 5 years. But this situation is making things much much worse. My favorite local place closed after 10 years... sucks

I wear a baklava (not the dessert but the hood thingy) that I usually have up to my nose when it is cold. My son wears a mask when snowboarding but as RM said it has holes
-
Just read a depressing article about Wachusett. All options on the table including limiting season pass sales, online sign ups for four different ski sessions per day, all outdoor dining etc.
-
Yeah. After reading your post I did a search and read about it on another forum. Bizarre
-
What the heck?
-
Yeah. Those places intrigue me. They have a season pass that covers all three areas now
-
I'm hoping to try some driveable places I haven'tskied at yet. Basically within 2 hours. Not a big list but hope to knock out a few smaller places
-
Labor Day Sale is in a couple of weeks.

Not a big run or anything exciting but getting first turns on Conifer at Wachusett with my wife in January on a Saturday morning.

I’m not doubting what SkiVT read on that group. But if no one is actually doing anything and are just grousing about it in a closed group I would just ignore it. I’ve started to grow a thicker skin in large part due to social media. Keyboard heroes talk a big game online but hide when they see you in person.
-
My advice would be to drop out of that particular FB group and pretend it doesn’t exist. If no one is saying anything untowardly to your face / in person and you don’t see it on social then does it really exist?
-
Have you waded into Twitter? Gack
-
If anyone wants to join my GPS group for Wachusett passes, let me know. Saves a few bucks I can’t wait to ski.

My son did the other day ( mostly to clear room in his closet). I tried to tell him -
