Hi Dave,
RH> Not sure what we have but the truck and camper are both paid off. Took
RH> out a loan for the truck but paid it off earlier this year.
DD> I once bought a car at one of those "Buy Here Pay Here" thieves. They
DD> wouldn't sell it for ca$h since the usurious interest is how they make
DD> their money. I did the math and found with the price of the vehicle
DD> and the payments it would add up to a bit over 2X tha ca$h price.
DD> Since my
DD> state has a law that prohibits penalties for early pay-off there was
DD> not one thing they could do when my first instalment was for the
DD> entire
DD> price of the car plus one period's interest. Just give me the title
DD> and grumble to themselves.
We've never bought from those places, going with Car Maxx once and
dealerships other times. My parents financed the loan on the car they
sold us the only time we've done a private sale.
DD> I've met that "Lake effect" sone in a number of locations - Chicago
DD> area, Detroit/Toledo region, and around the "Mistake on the Lake",
DD> Cleveland.
RH> Makes me glad we don't live up there. We might get a dusting of snow or ice
RH> once or twice during the winter but most often it's gone the next
RH> day. Not like the year we got 18" on the coast--Steve had to hike out
RH> to the local supermarket for some supplies but we didn't lose power
RH> during it.
DD> Sounds like my area last year. What climate change? I hope Wake Forest
DD> is at enough elevation that it doesn't suffer the rising seas that are
DD> plaguing New Bern, Beaufort and Jacksonville.
We have a few rivers that can get pretty high but no major flooding like
the coastal areas get. We're about 150 miles inland so don't have to
worry (yet) about rising sea levels.
DD> AutoZone reuires their delivery drivers to back-in when parking since
DD> it is safer when pulling out. The only exceptions allowed are if one
DD> can pull straight ahead from the parkig spot (no obstacles like a
DD> parking block or other impediment).
RH> Smart, I'll have to ask our (retired) UPS driver if they have a similar
RH> rule.
DD> I seldom see their big Buster Brown box trucks parked in a parking lot
DD> or on the street. On the street they (and Fed-Ex) pull as close to the curb
DD> as they can, turn on the 4-ways and take the package to the
DD> address. Then return and drive straight away.
And one of the local drivers stops to give the dog across the street
from us a treat.
DD> 8<----- SLICE ----->8
RH> We tried a new sushi place yesterday for Father's Day--got some spicy fried
RH> chicken "nuggets" on greens, a California roll with scallops and
RH> a shrimp tempura roll. All good, but not quite as good as Taste of
RH> Japan up in West Henrietta, NY. Nancy introduced us to that place; we
RH> try to stop in every so often when we're in the area.
DD> I've tried to like sushi as a dish several times. It will never be one
DD> of my favourites, apparently. I like amlost mall of the things that go into
DD> it - from the rice which gives it its name, to the various veg
DD> and meats, etc wrapped up in the sushi rice. Individually. Even the sashimi
DD> (raw fish) at least some of it. Just not as a "dish" or
DD> entree.
DD> My favourite Japanese thing, overall, it tempure.
RH> It took a trip to ToJ for Steve to develop a liking of it. I'd had a
RH> bit here and there over the years, enough to know I like it, but never
RH> a whole meal of it.
DD> This is one of my favourite Japanese entrees. I discovered it at Osaka
DD> Restaurant on my city's west side. Came home asnd whistled up the
DD> recipe. Haven't made it on my own yet - but it doesn't look too tough.
DD> Bv)=
Looks good, aand not that hard to make.
