I rode my bike around Minneapolis and Saint Paul this past weekend. I was able to remain on paved bike trails for the most past. My challenge was when I needed to use bridges. Some bridges are more bicycle friendly than others. Does Google Maps, Garmin or somebody else deal with that issue pretty well?

I've been using this program for 30+ years.

Why?

Relatively cheap, I can get Deluxe plus state around XMAS for $35.

Then, the new annual software imports the previous year.

Yesterday, I got an email that was vague.

"Don't wait The "Failure to File" penalty is 5% of your unpaid taxes for each month that your tax return is late.

Perhaps you can post on a new book you're reading, a new hobby you're taking up or about random finds as you finally get around to cleaning out the..., or your most recent adventure?

There is a Difference.

Armed Forces Day:
For those currently in the uniform.

Veteran's Day:
For those who used to wear the uniform.

Memorial Day:
For those who never made it out of the uniform.

Please offer a moment of silence today in remembrance those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the USA.

It seems that in NYC, they have a joint task force, NYSP, County Sheriff, and NYPD, at least a while back, cracking down on ghost cars.

No license plates, 5% tints, no registration, no insurance, toll and parking evaders, etc.

The new electric Chinese car seems interesting and might become a winner.

the former Yugo car that I posted below:

There is a watch for a severe geomagnetic storm. It will be interesting to see what effect it has on GNSS.
