Trip to Utqiagvik

I went to Utqiagvik (Barrow) back in June and it's one of the best trips in the US I have ever had. The people in Utqiagvik are SO nice and welcoming. It was crazy seeing this barren land without any trees and how people can survive in such a harsh climate. What surprised me the most was how many immigrants from Thailand and Laos are living here. Imagine moving all the way to the US and picking this rural community. There really isn't much to do or see, but I just enjoyed walking around and talking to people.

Out of state funny stories

Do you have any funny stories when out of state and people not knowing New Mexico is a US state? I’ve heard of bars and liquor stores seeing a NM ID and saying they only accept US issued IDs. Any funny stories like this?

Large price differences at Total Wine

I’m in New Mexico visiting and wanted a bottle for margs so I was going to grab my usual, Arette blanco from Total Wine. But was shocked to see the price of $40.99 for a 1L bottle. I checked the TW website and my store in the Dallas are sells it for $27.99.

I thought maybe NM has crazy high liquor taxes but they are just a few dollars per liter more than Texas. I also saw Lalo blanco for $35.49 which sells for $42 at my Texas TW store.

I checked other brands and some are cheaper in NM and others are cheaper in TX. Does anyone know why there would be such crazy price differences?

Are these considered foreign contacts?

The section describes it as "bound by affection, influence, common interests, and/or obligation?" but I'm not sure that either of these people meet these criteria. I figure it's safer to just report it, but at the same time I don't want to increase scrutiny if it's not needed.

French foreign exchange student I had in high school - I talk to him via text message once every few months. How are you, how's the family type of thing. I see him once a year in person.

Spanish guy I met at a bar 8 years ago - Talk via text message 1-2 times a month. See him in person once a year.

Plantation Xaymaca availability

Has this rum been discontinued? I cannot find it anywhere in the Dallas area. No Total Wine store has it in stock. Astor is my go-to store in NYC and they are also sold out.

Charging for parking in the suburbs

Is charging for parking a new thing? I always expect to pay in a busy city but not in a Hyatt Place in a suburban strip center.

Oil leak near strainer cover

I changed the oil in my inherited 67 Beetle and used the kit below to change the gaskets. I wiped everything dry of oil and installed the gaskets, then tightened everything down hand tight. Now there's an oil leak when the car is sitting in the garage.

Should I be using different gaskets? Do I need to tighten the little nuts that hold on the strainer cover?

New 67 owner

My grandpa has owned this car since 1973 and he recently gifted it to me. It’s pretty much in original condition, paint and all. My uncle rebuilt the engine in the late 80s and since then, the car has only had around 20k put on it. In 2019, my grandpa took it to an air cooled VW repair shop for this work and has had only about 1000mi put on since then.

  • Replace muffler and tailpipes
  • Replace fuel hose from gas tank
  • Replace fuel pump
  • Replace air cleaner
  • Replace spark plugs and plug wires
  • R&R rocker arms and inspect, replace 2 valve adjusters
  • Adjust valves
  • Replace wheel cylinders and brake shoes
  • Replace inner and outer bearings
  • Replace all brake hoses
  • Replace generator belt & replace 2 generator brushes
  • Change transaxle gear oil and replace both axle boots

Right now there are only two issues:

  1. Some sputtering/hiccups when accelerating. What do you think could be the cause of this?

  2. My garage smells of gas. I don’t see any leaks and the inside of the car smells fine, so maybe it’s a tiny leak?

Olympia vs Seattle

I have a potential job offer in Olympia, WA with the state. I have been to Seattle and that area many times, but only driven through Olympia. What's life like there? Is the weather more or less the same as Seattle? What's the cost of living like compared to Seattle? Does Olympia feel "politically charged" like Seattle or is it more toned down?

Is Olympia close enough to Seattle for a day trip on the weekends or does it feel like a horrible drive?

Wait time for carrier to be assigned

I am waiting on a carrier to be assigned for a vehicle from 27609 to 76039. First availability pickup date was 7/2 and I haven’t heard anything yet. The broker said it’s due to low availability of drivers. Quote was $1000 for this route. Does the price need to be bumped up to get a driver assigned?

What does the application and hiring process look like?

In the corporate world, jobs are posted for a week or two, then the close. In that time frame, there can be hundreds of applicants. After that, the recruiter looks at applications and passes on the best ones to the hiring manager. Then the hiring manager select who to call for an interview.

But this doesn't seem to be the case at LANL. One job, I applied for the day it posted on May 2. It's still posted on the website as open for applications and my application is under review status. Others are taken down after a few weeks, but my application remains in Pending Review status for weeks or months.

How quickly after applying should I be hearing back for an interview? When would a job without any follow up be considered a lost cause? Can someone help me make sense of it?

What happened to this shopping center?

Used to have Office Depot, Stein Mart, JoAnn, and a few other places, now it's dead. I loved Pulcinella's Italian that was there for 10+ years.

La Buena Vida (or maybe it was Carolina Ale House) used to be a Thai restaurant, and before that Chevy's Mexican, and before that was a restaurant called Pargo's

Does anyone remember the other places that used to be here?

Transfer out of state title and plates

To transfer my vehicle registration to NM, looks like I need a VIN inspection and pay a registration fee. But I cannot find any details about taxes or other fees. Is it really just as simple as paying $27 to $62 in registration fees?

Small town vs big city: my review

I have lived in many places, from a small town of 20,000 to Chicago, the 3rd largest city in the country. They each have their pros and cons and often times it's hard for me to pick which I like the most and which one I like the least. I'll make a list and share.

Raleigh: My hometown, born and raised here. Honestly, I'm not sure why Raleigh has grown so much. Maybe because it's green, close to the mountains, and close to the beach but it really just feels like an overgrown small or medium sized town. I left as soon as I graduated high school.

Columbia, MO: Loved Columbia and would have liked to stay after finishing school, but the job market isn't great. It's a college town but has a large enough full time population to not feel deserted during the summer. It's affordable, people are nice, has 4 distinct seasons, and because it's a college town, has a lot of fun academic and artsy things to do. The nature access nearby is also great (hiking trails, bike trails, caves, etc). There are also some really cute historic towns which are great day trips. The only downside was it being 2+ hours to any large city.

Warrensburg, MO: Another college town, but much smaller and has more of a local feel than Columbia which attracts students from all over the country and world. The Air Force base being next door brought in a lot of military families. There really isn't much to do in town, so driving 45min to KC was your only option for entertainment. The positives are that people were really nice, there was no traffic so getting home from work took like 5min, and you could easily bike the entire town.

Chicago: I have a love/hate relationship with this city. It's probably my favorite place I've ever lived, but some days I hated it. It does have a lot of issues. The city management is horrible, winter sucks, crime is pretty bad, public transit is sketchy as hell, and overall you witness a lot of antisocial behaviors. But on the positive side, there are unlimited amounts of things to do and see, food is excellent, the scenery on the lake is gorgeous, and you'll never run out of neighborhoods to explore. Sometimes I regret leaving.

Dallas: This is where I live now and it's probably my least favorite place I've lived. On paper it has almost as much to do as Chicago, but without the unique character. The entire area feels very corporate, their is almost no nature, and the entire metro area seems focused on the suburbs rather than the cities. Positives are: lots of things to do, eat, and spend money on. No winter (but awful summers). Good job market and relatively affordable.

Angus Story Daiquiri

This is a recipe from Death & Co. I love their recipes and this one is another banger. I get more of the Jamaican rum on the start and more agricole towards the end. I'm a big agricole rhum fan, so any excuse to use that I'll take full advantage of.

- 3/4oz aged Jamaican rum (I did 1/2oz Appleton Signature and 1/4oz Doctor Bird to give it more funk. I didn't want to go all in with Doctor Bird as I was afraid it would overwhelm the agricole)

- 3/4oz aged Puerto Rican/Spanish style rum

- 1/2oz Rhum agricole

- 3/4oz lime juice

- 3/4oz simple syrup (I was afraid this would be too sweet, so I went with a fat 1/2oz of simple and it was perfect)

Shake everything and strain into a coupe.
