@Steve-Miller said in Almost hit head on: I like trucks more than most people, but what would you even do with such a thing? That vehicle has a modification package. The whole thing looks like *****. (Edit: Andy mentioned it.) I'm glad you weren't injured, Bernard and Andy! I haven't driven very often in 15 years. I'm going to have to approach it very carefully.

Well, consider the source. Also, protests and protesters are always misrepresented.

Three old guys on a bench: “It’s windy!” “No it’s not, it’s Thursday!” “I’m thirsty too. Let’s go get a beer!”

@CHAS No, but you should see his electric bill!

I think everyone knows what I think we should and should not do by now.

Impressive. And an uphill battle.

@jon-nyc said in Piano Party 7/27 Klaus is coming to visit: There are some. Klaus is here a week and we’re at the Jersey shore now. Next weekend I’ll post some videos. Back from the shore yet? I would really like to see some videos. Big Al

@Steve-Miller I like Aloha soy sauce, too. I wish our local Fred Meyer (Kroger) carried a smaller bottle; the big one takes up too much space in my cupboard. The local Asian markets have the big bottles, too.

Auction results. Pretty good return for his $10. Lots 211 through 217, as far as I can tell. https://hansonslive.hansonsauctioneers.co.uk/auctions/catalog/id/706?page=3

From Nashua's "Understanding Property Assessments" page, Determining the market value of a property involves assessing the price most people would pay for it in its current condition. To establish the fair market value, the assessor considers factors such as the selling prices of similar properties, replacement costs, operational and maintenance expenses, potential rental income, and various other elements influencing its worth. Additionally, the assessor examines factors like the current interest rates for borrowing money to buy or build on similar properties in the area. Continuous analysis of sales and trends is essential, and these findings are applied to specific neighborhoods. Fair market value, more precisely, is defined as "the most probable price in terms of money in a competitive and open market, assuming that the buyer and seller are acting prudently and knowledgeably, allowing sufficient time for the sale, and assuming that the transaction is not affected by undue pressures."

What I wonder is: Is there credible forensic evidence? What documentation exists if any. And what testimonies exist if any and if so are they in written and/ or oral form.

The institutional facilities in New York State for those with developmental disabilities were large in scale and existed throughout the State. I know because my mother worked for this agency for 20 years and received vesting and a pension. Geraldo Rivera - Wikipedia https://share.google/ihaKUoRcUOvUWbSNG "Rivera was hired by WABC-TV in 1970 as a reporter for Eyewitness News. In 1972, he garnered national attention and won a Peabody Award[14][15] for Willowbrook: The Last Great Disgrace, his report on the neglect and abuse of patients with intellectual disabilities at Staten Island's Willowbrook State School and Rockland County's Letchworth Village,..." Conditions improved tremendously by the time my mother started working at one the facilities. There was a parallel set of similar State psychiatric hospitals. Reagan started to dismantle these facilities and many of the residents ended up on the streets. So, it's come full circle. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Incidentally, the money my father left my brother and me was inherited from my mother who inherited from her father. My grandfather was NCO Air Force. He retired with a 20 year vesting. Then he worked for the VA and retired with a 10 year vesting but worked three more. My grandmother predeceased him. She worked for Fireman's Fund and received a 20 year vesting before American Express bought it. She then worked for two years at a Dr.'s office. My grandparents worked for over 50 years. It's my grandfather's, my grandmother's, my father's, and my mother's money my brother and I will be receiving. Yet there are people who do not deign to treat me as being a person from the middle class for various twisted reasons, who know nothing about my family and nothing about me. Where are their stereotypes now? Sometimes ignorance isn't bliss. It's just ignorance.

My daughter lived there while student teaching. It’s a visually interesting city.
