It’s still going to get dark.
In the middle of the day.
Quickly.
In the span of a couple minutes It goes from “shadows are weird shaped!” to “okay, weird light, like when it’s snowing but sun shines through a bit” to “huh, THIS ain’t right” to full-on “ohmygod…” except whispered, because it feels wrong to speak out loud in normal voice.
I drove three hours last time to park at the side of a dirt road running through a field. Totally worth it.

I have family in Burlington Vermont. “Inflate the guest bed, we’re headed your way!”

How TF is this being downvoted? It's measurably true. Trenton NJ is 68 miles from midtown Manhattan; Albany is over twice as far.
Also closer to midtown Manhattan than the capital of New York: the capital of Connecticut, the largest city in Pennsylvania, the largest city in Delaware.

Reply to comment by BrandonQuinnDixon in Question about dividend re-investment strategy by BrandonQuinnDixon
I think the point they are trying to make is that two equivalent companies with shares currently worth $100, one paying a 4% dividend and one not paying any dividend, with both experiencing a 5% profit growth over the year, the dividend-paying company would pay you $4 over the course of a year and be worth $101 per share at the end of the year, while the other company would be worth $105 a share.

“It would not be long before my music career took off. Helped by the advent of MTV a few short years later, we would have a Number 1 hit, “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me,” and this look would be my hallmark.”

They both got new jobs.
Just kidding, I thought the same thing. "You mean I could've been living that Raiders Of The Lost Ark childhood dream all this time?"

>but it certainly was one of the most 80s bands of the 1980s.
And that's Really Saying Something.
