    or more sneakily, they'll fake a number in your same exchange, to make it look like a neighbor or someone local. Ie, your number is (701) 555-1212 and they'll call you from (701) 555-9816 I've been known to play along with the "tech support" scammers and pretend I am doing what they tell me to...

    Short house update. Except along walls where I need to rip some boards the upstairs "bonus space" flooring is down. There are a few places that were not as level as I thought -- mostly where two of the subfloor OSB came together and formed a ridge (it was open to weather before the roof put...

    The last few times I've had to go to the DMV or the Driver's License division (which are now in the same building across the lobby from each other) it's been pretty quick. Could be better but we're not small town and it's been way worse in the past. Generally for driver's license you make an...

    They recently put in the remotely read meters for our electrical service in the neighborhood. The utility website (or their app) allows you to log in and get daily usage reports (though they're often a day or two behind). They do offer an "EV Owner" program where they have really cheap...

    3.8 liters to the gallon (in single decimal precision). I'd have thought it a bit more. When I lived in Munich 91-93 gasoline was about 5-6$ a gallon when you did the math and that was 30 years ago. We did get into Switzerland a few times but I was never the one driving so didn't pay attention...

    In High School we went on a month trip to Germany, landing in Munich. 1983. They had German police guards outside the Aeroflot counters and elsewhere that were equipped with sub-machineguns. We got our pic taken with them. One of the guards even put his hat on one of the girls. That was my...
