We will definitely see a sharp drop off soon due to the change in seasons. Big test IMO will be next winter. If there are no boosters, the earliest vaccinated will be approaching a year post vax. Also, if only <70 percent of Americans get fully vaccinated, there won’t be herd immunity at that time. WW, herd immunity may never be achieved for many years if at all.

Still think that’s sometime in 2022?

We regress at least locally over the past few seasons here.

Crazy that BOS is now a 50”/year site.

Looks like that includes “total” (including an estimate of those not reported).

Yes! They’re back daily here.

At my last job, one of my co-workers, a widower, within 6-8 years of retirement with about a $1M nest egg was talking about this subject. He said he was giving his son his inheritance now with college paid for, creature comforts, a place to live, etc., etc., basically setting his son up for success. Once retired, he was going to enjoy HIS nest egg. Unfortunately, he passed last spring due to COVID complications in his late 50s. I sure hope he planned ahead just in case... $1M+, life insurance, real estate etc., can be a blessing or curse to a 20 year old.

Lol. Let’s all buy starter homes in Baltimore together. I’m in so long as you and Jay are next door neighbors.

Not Boston. Maybe Baltimore.

Buy more dogecoin and then you'll be in the 1.5M home in no time!

Starter homes around here are being bought up at $500k, demolished, and then a $1M+ monstrosity replaces it. Great time for FTHBs.

My brother bought in Lowell in 2015 for $265k. Zillow now thinks his house is worth $445k!

Real estate is outrageous right now. I bid on a property in Salisbury that got 25 offers after one weekend and a bid $45k over asking on a $365k listing won. (The winning bid wasn’t me)

Happy Cinco de Mayo. May all your dogecoin and crypto fantasies come true.

I had 71 XRP that got lost to the Bitsane scam. After that, crypto just leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

My cousin owns a 2 door, manual transmission Wrangler with massive off road tires and loves it. He’s up in NH every weekend, so it suites him well. Those Wranglers do hold their value since they do have a loyal following. Not the most practical car, but it certainly evokes emotion.

The CX5 is a nice vehicle too. I would only spend V60 money if the reliability is still there and I’ll be able to drive it hard for a good 10 years at least. I own a Jeep now and I know I’ll have some issues within a year or two.

Which Volvo model? Are the new ones still as reliable as the old ones now that it’s owned by a Chinese company? The newer V60 CC T5 looks so, so good.

MA is banning the sale of NEW gas powered cars by 2035. My car is 3.5 years old. I’ll probably keep it at least another 2.5-3 more years. If incentives are still there or better, I may consider early adoption for my next car...

Yes, second shot. I had nothing but a sore arm for half a day after the first shot...luckily, around 9-10am, the fever and aches broke. Just went for a 6 mile run and now feel fine.

LOL. Back to over 100F. 40 hours out.

Back down to 97.8. Now I just feel like I have a good hangover. About 24 hours out...

Congrats! Not too bad for a delivery boy.

Body aches and chills come in waves too. Hoping I’m back to normal by tomorrow.

Back up to 100F.
