Troy and Albany in update New York - underrated capital district. Our stay at the Hampton Inn Boston/Cambridge The watch that hits the sweet spot for me Let's dig into funny Swedish sayings... It's great that hotels are moving away from single-use tiny shampoo bottles and instead mounting these on the shower walls. However, not when the hotel runs out and have no replacements for their guests....which happened to us on our last trip. Say what you want about the Hilton Garden Inn hotel chain, but their logo on their breakfast waffles is a neat little detail. Swedish Proverb to live by: To write well and to speak well is mere vanity, if one does not live well. –Bridget of Sweden (1303-1373) Maui Strong
The Hawaii Community Foundation is an awesome organization, and your money goes to where it belongs. Please help the residents of Maui recover from this terrible disaster. Donate to the Maui Strong Fund. Pump Your Own Gas
Not being able to pump my own gas was really irritating when I had a short stint in Oregon back in the 90s. Have trust in your constituents! Now it's finally happening! Yay! Tulips
We loved visiting the tulip farms in Skagit County, Washington. In preparation for our Upstate New York trip later this month, I did some research and found this interesting history of tulips in Albany, New York. Starting out this Wednesday on a bright spot - just deleted my TwitterX account. :) Hopefully you'll see more of me/us here moving forward. Deleting our TwitterX account this week. Cheers! When stranded at the Denver International Airport, one night at the Embassy Suites is not too bad. My stay at the Tru Hotel, by the convention center in Orlando, Florida. Early Days of an Engineer
Age 3. When I knew my son would have an interest in engineering. He had to inspect the underneath of a monorail to figure out how it was moving. 6 months later, he did the same thing with a street car in Europe. Now he’s at a top engineering school Potato Pancake with Pork Belly and Lingonberries
Cheers to another Swedish lunch specialty. In Swedish, the name for this dish is: Raggmunk med Fläsk och Lingon. It's a truly enjoyed comfort food across all of Scandinavia. Smaklig måltid! Halv Special and a Pucko
Here's a very regional fast food found on the west coast of Sweden: Halv Special. It literally translates to "half special". It's a hot dog in a bun with mashed potatoes on top. There actually is something called hel special/full special which adds another hot dog to the bun, but T-Mobile or Not, That is the Question
If you are a T-Mobile subscriber, you have probably heard that they are doing away with the $5/line auto-pay discount, unless you use a debit card or bank account to pay your monthly bill. I can see why they are doing this...as a business, it doesn't make financial sense to offer Kudos to post.news for their fast and attentive support. I'm super impressed! 🤙 Late evening sunset socializing at my friend's house on the Swedish west coast. So lovely!
