I was excited for thunderstorms yesterday. The sky got dark, then it lightly rained for a half hour

We need some rain!

Helped someone buy Amtrak tickets today, picking them up this afternoon. I didn’t know the 2 Amtrak routes I’ve taken to Vermont (the Vermonter and Ethan Allen express) were not only the least ridden lines, but the least ridden by far. Vermonter is 18,600 passengers annually while the Ethan Allen express is 12,500 passengers annually. The next lowest routes are in the 50,000s. Vermont is the second least populated state so it makes sense. been watching a lot of Amtrak vids lately. The 66 hour texas eagle route from chicago to Texas to California sounds awesome, although the California Zephyr route from chicago to the Bay Area hits both the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada’s. I’d want a roomette, don’t need a bedroom, but both are wild expensive

How awesome would it be to have a train crossing in your driveway? This house has 5 train tracks crossing their driveway

I literally checked the cams yesterday and was happy to see it still there. The end of an era 😢

Is it free food when you have to bring a check as a gift?

Weddings are a scam. Just go to the courthouse if you want to get married

While I didn’t look, I would guess there is a 75% chance my mom still has it

Thanks! I didn’t know I could just turn the paperwork in at the post office. PASR is a much better resource than the US government site

Lol at having to take a physical headshot of yourself that is 2”x2” and send that pic with a physical paper application. A few questions 1. What year is it? We are still doing written applications and snail mail? 2. Why the hell would I have a 2x2 headshot of myself? 3. Do I take a fucking selfie, crop it to 2x2, and then send it in?

I have nothing important to add, just posting this to help you see your 100 page goal

Update, didn’t put the A/C unit in because I’m going to try to ride out these next 2 days/nights. Next week is fairly cool so I just have to survive til Monday morning.

Not rich, just one of my closest friends so I was going regardless if money was chipped in or not, but he felt bad and offered to chip in (wedding was rescheduled from Brooklyn to Aruba). Not sure if I’ll accept that money yet

I’m a groomsman for a wedding in Aruba later on this year. Luckily the groom offered to pay some of my expenses. Went to renew my passport and they want about 100 documents including my 2nd grade report card, plus my first born child and my pinky toe

Gotta put the A/C’s in tonight

People would be leaving blue looking like this

That’s an awesome day. Ive rode camelback and drove straight to Eagles/jets in Philly, also rode blue and went to Eagles/bears that night

Wow, I was (possibly) right

That’s a shame. Pipelines are awesome

Did the pipeline that is/was right down Main Street at blue get cancelled?

Didn’t PASR’s protest against a pocono wind farm like 10 years ago?

Was it some type of emergency feature so if the power lines fell, it wouldn’t land on the cable and shock every lift chair? (I have no idea if this is even possible)

They should leave the weird metal structure up as a memorial to the old double lifts. I’m never figured out what it was, but I’m guessing something to do with the power lines that no longer run above it

The storm has already ended lol

Local schools have early dismissal today because of the thunderstorms coming this afternoon. Seems a bit extreme to let school out for a thunderstorm edit: manager just asked us to move cars in the shop for potential hail. I’ve been witness to 2 hail storms at the dealership and it is quite the nightmare
