  1. I'm sure there will always be those few people who worry over every development or variant. I'm vaccinated, most of my family is vaccinated, so I'm more concerned about Delta legroom (or lack thereof) in economy versus the Delta variant!
  2. The indoor temp has been a steady 68 to 74 since the heat wave broke. No AC required. We take.
  3. Life is pretty much back to normal here. We heal. We remember. We learn. We move on.
  4. Lol. The only COVID talk I see anymore is in this thread.
  5. Nice! I drove into Boston for an interview during rush hour once from Rockport. It took about the same time. Maybe 15 minutes quicker.
  6. Congrats on the new job and adventure! Best of luck!
  7. Leaves getting that leathery look…
  8. Actually one game the Yanks were playing the O’s. I was living in DC at the time though, so it wasn’t too long a ride.
  9. Saw Sale pitch in his prime. Good day.
  10. Camden is a gem. I actually enjoyed the inner harbor area when I went to two Sox games there during the Summer or 2017.
  11. Solves global warming. Better chance at normal or BN with elevated normals from 1991-2020. As they say, crisis averted!
  12. Got down to a chilly 49F last night.
  13. To me, that’s the American dream. Never for want of the necessities. Yet never needing each and every want. Live a happy life with family and friends. Do more than just survive and scrape by.
  14. Here, they buy the Cape at 500k+ and build a mansion to sell for 1.5M+ So long as the fat cats keep gobbling them up, the starter houses are a thing of the past. As a FTHB, I went straight to condos/townhomes.
  15. That’s huge! PSLF will eventually be my saving grace.
  16. Those Cape style houses aren’t coming back. Today, the 1600 sq ft Cape is knocked down and replaced with a 4000-5000 sq ft McMansion priced 4-5x higher than the purchase price of the knocked down Cape.
  17. In fact, 2000 sq ft is a palace by Mass standards. I’ve never lived in a house greater than 1950 sq ft. Grew up in a family of 4 kids, two parents, one cat, one dog in 1600 sq ft with 1.5 baths. Turned out okay.
  18. I think that’s all what most want for themselves and their families.
  19. Got it. Our biases and world views are hardwired into town us due to evolution and our tribal origins. Humans are innately flawed because of this. It was necessary to align oneself with a group when that group worked together to fend of lions, but that group think isn’t so necessary from a survival standpoint anymore.
  20. I find it funny that if one notes the marked, increasing wealth or income distribution gap in this country, they are immediately branded as a commie. Is there no middle ground? Asking for a friend.
  21. Roosters jumping in through open windows today, pushing out window units and ripping out all the tubes attached to portables.
