Sadly this is the truth. I think I learned a lot from being an avid cyclist for many years, you really get an instinct for where cars can be coming from and where visibility sucks.

About $350-400 for a family of 4, not including paper goods. Call it $300 on a grocery run plus an extra $50-100 on mid-week produce, fresh fish, and mail-order meats. Probably cook 6 nights a week. Kids buy lunch at school most days, adults have leftovers or homemade sandwiches for lunch.

Libraries are actually huge resources for people to get information about and find all of those things. So many issues with housing, education, healthcare, etc begin with people not knowing how to access resources, and libraries are excellent at helping.

Well, hotel bar food is usually just bland. I was really impressed with the desire to shove as many ingredients as possible on one plate, topped with tons of sweet sauces. And the Holiday Inn-grade wine glasses for an "upscale byo" restaurant were just...

Through mid Jan. But don't go there anyway. I would charitably describe it as fancy cruise food.

I drive from Bergen to Greenwich, CT. Surprisingly Monday this week was the lightest traffic in a while, but it's generally been awful since Labor Day.

Always amazed at how I see people crossing the street completely oblivious (and not just because they are looking at their phones). Like, if you are crossing a side street next to a major street, you better have eyes on the major street as there's always a chance some idiot is going to turn without seeing you.
Also....night is bad, but dusk is worse. At night at least headlights/streetlights really illuminate things. At dusk the light is washed out, really hard to see things.
