$15 for a scant pint of organic berries!! NJ grown. Context: former long term Manhattan resident here. I visit 4-5 times per year. Not a hayseed!!! I live in Northern CA now. Equally expensive locale. We pay $16 for 3 pints of organic berries at our farmers market, grown in Central Valley. Is this a supply/demand issue? Transportation costs?? (That seems unlikely to me).
My wife and I completed all the “paperwork” but were unable to secure an interview before departure. We have several future trips so the status will be useful.
We are abroad now and intend to complete the process on arrival. I forgot to bring the documentation showing residence (utility bill, etc.) but have screen shots of these for each of us in the form of a mobile bill and a health insurance premium bill. If I print these out, will they be accepted?
Train arrives Vernon at 9:00 am. Tickets are for 10:00. If I walk, will they be forgiving about 5-10 minutes tardiness.
Left the station last night and I had some bad vibes: lots of shouting, fight broke out , lots of people milling about. As a woman, not a place I’d like to be unaccompanied late at night. Was my radar off?? (Visiting from NYC so I’m not unaccustomed to the gritty side of big cities.)
Arrived in France 2 days after the start of billing cycle. < 96 hours later I’ve hit my 15gb limit. I checked acct and it shows about 5gbs a day for the last 4 full days. I don’t get back to the full complement of data until I’m back home in the US.
10 years back, I bailed on Verizon international plan —$10 a day — because the 5gb a day limit got sucked up in 1/2 a day. Almost exclusively navigation (maps etc no streaming). So I got a Vodafone sim with 20 gb data and without changing habits could not use more than 1-2 gbs a day. Which makes me think the metering on data usage is different with the V plan? (Not biting on a $10 for 2 addl ggbs)
Am I on to something? No WiFi during this visit—all data is cellular.
Last visit I used a smallish neighborhood institution (don’t recall name—maybe credit union type?), money not dispensed and card not returned. I entered and was told I’d have to return tomorrow. Not possible for me so I ended up “turning off” the card. Fortunately partner had hers. By smallish I mean single employee. Thanks.
Landed 15 minutes ago. Medical issue with captain. Anyone been through this that knows the general protocols? We were informed there was a weight issue (???). Customs involved (we will not disembark).
If yes, how much time before departure is advisable?
You are not exempt from either:
California Vehicle Code section 4850 (a):
"The department, upon registering a vehicle, shall issue to the owner two partially or fully reflectorized license plates or devices for a motor vehicle, other than a motorcycle, and one partially or fully reflectorized license plate or device for all other vehicles required to be registered under this code. The plates or devices shall identify the vehicles for which they are issued for the period of their validity.
California Vehicle Code section 5200 (a):
"When two license plates are issued by the department for use upon a vehicle, they shall be attached to the vehicle for which they were issued, one in the front and the other in the rear."
Just saw 10+ Teslas on Mill Valley streets; two had front license plates. Same goes for BMWs. Saw fewer of them (5 or 6) but only one had a front plate.

Headed there soon. Friends who were there last summer reported repeated cases of loss of network—phone went to SOS mode. All in the traveling party had iPhone 16s (may have been different models) and one had no problems. And no problems in other countries (Greece, UK, etc.). The international angle on the plan was a real attraction—I hope I don’t regret opting in for it. (Verizon’s solutions: reboot phone, reset network settings. Sometimes worked, sometimes not.)
Flying next week to Italy and wondering how early I need yo leave.
I am traveling to the EU and the UK next month. I am looking at a policy that asks allows you to list one country. Can I assume that coverage would apply to both the EU and the UK if I only list the EU countries?
Edit: Pluralized “EU.”
Our Bosch dishwasher (purchased 2015--Model SHP68T55UC/07) has worked well for most of 10 years. Recently we are noticing--occasionally--a clear fluid on the dishes in the lowest rack but only those nearest the door--so directly below the RinseAid compartment door.
The fluid is clear and a little viscous. I am concluding that the gasket in the door is not holding and the fluid leaks. Replacement door on Amazon is $12 (double that on Bosch website) so going to throw a part at the problem and hope it works.
Anyone else seen this?
