Europe has had enough nuts over the years. No need to store them up, another will come along soon enough. Heck, we would be happy to give them a few of ours.

Re: Post Race!
That reminds me of individuals like Gruff. He was a good man, but his only outlet was social media (and I’m limping VBForums in there) because of increasing health issues.
Had I known that he passed before his funeral, I most certainly would have taken a trip up to Oregon.

Re: Post Race!
My insurance company just gave me a month's notice they'll start packing on a billing fee for both my home and auto policies. Does anyone know how much notice I must give them before I begin deducting my new paying fee for each?

I got wondering why I didn't get a new insurance card for my auto insurance. Turns out, they went online, apparently. That seems like a really bad idea.

Re: Post Race!
When I left Allstate they were pushing the paperless option very hard.
In Louisiana you got a discount to go paperless. Then about a year before I left, they revoked that discount.
Companies like Allstate would save millions if everyone went paperless. You can see how they would be incentivized to encourage people to go paperless.

Re: Post Race!
I have no problem with paperless billing. Because of my tendency to disappear into the mountains for weeks on end, I set up all of my bills to auto-pay, a long time ago. Whether I get a paper bill or not matters not a whit, so long as the bill gets paid automatically.
In this case, what I didn't get was the card I carry in the car to show that I am insured. I thought you had to have one with you. Perhaps that's not the case.

Yeah, I hear that.
I guess "they" view your "phone" as a financial/social/carbon credit score tag.
Not to drift off onto the WEF's plans to institute personal carbon credit scores. You know, the ones test flown as "COVID tracker apps" you paid obeisance to daily.

Re: Post Race!
Usually you can go online and print out a card. Though my insurance sends me a paper card. I don't like that they changed to every six months billing. I liked paying a year at a time and get a new card once a year.
I also have been using autopay for everything I can for years. Never had a problem. No more late fees. It was never not having the money but just postponing or forgetting.

The one thing that I can't autopay is also the one thing that I don't get much of an announcement or a bill for: My property taxes.

Seems odd. I get billed twice a year and always with nearly 2 month notice.

Re: Post Race!
I only get billed once a year but you can make two payments one by Dec and the other by April. I tried the two payments but forgot about it and had to pay a late fee. Now I just pay the whole year at once.

Re: Post Race!
I got a late fee once, as well. The city I live in does a good job with billing. Unfortunately, the county handles property taxes, and they aren't so good. I get an added fee for paying by ANY means other than showing up in person. Considering that would take probably an hour on a good day, I just opt for the cheapest of the extra fees.

Yeah, my county is strange. You can pay taxes by mail but if you pay online there's a fee. They charge 5% to pay by credit card. No way!!! You can pay by Echeck for like $0.50. It's silly.

Re: Post Race!
I usually pay by check to avoid those "convenience fees." Not even a stamp is needed, the Township has a 24 hour drive up dropbox that also accepts things like quarterly water/sewer payments and absentee ballots.

Re: Post Race!
I can only avoid the convenience fees by paying in person. They may well have a dropbox. I wouldn't know, though, as the location is a good long ways away, and a bit awkward to find, as well.
The credit card fee isn't 5%, but it's up around 3%. That's quite reasonable, actually, as that's about what the credit card company would be charging them. They just pass it on. A check or direct bank transfer costs down around 1%, or so. Not sure what that's about.

Re: Post Race!
An interesting side note (at least to me) is Amtrak #30 the Chicago-DC Capitol Limited and #48 the Chicago-NY/Boston Lake Shore Limited were combined into one train at Oak Harbor and ran NS's old Wheeling & Lake Erie between Oak Harbor and Bellevue then ran NS's old Nickel Plate Road between Bellevue and GC interlocking just west of Vermilion where they rejoined the Chicago line, made their station stops at Elyria and Cleveland and split back into two trains after the station stop in Cleveland. All other Amtrak trains have been annulled between Cleveland and Toledo until Monday.

How deep does it go?
When I lived on campus as a freshman I walked past Pere Marquette 1225 several times a day. It had been donated and sat slowly being restored for a very long time until donations helped the budget pick up. Now of course it is in service again for novelty excursions.
Do you know why this old steam engine became a celebrity, with imitators running nationwide?
