Something seems odd here.

Uggh.

in-network providers, that's really the cherry on top.

Aw jeez.

Sounds about right. I'm gonna guess meals are about $20, snacks about $10, and drinks about $5

Keep in mind you also have to purchase a 2022 gate pass to make economical use of your meal pass.

My wife just bought a four pack of those tests from the grocery store. Much more accurate than I expected. We're using them for our kid going forward. Fighting to get an appt for a less reliable immediate test makes little sense. Sniffles or a cough and we have to test to go to school. The Pfizer kids vaccine can't come soon enough.

the only appropriate reply to this is:

Here's a food review, I didn't catch which location, though.

If you have a way to get there without paying for parking, then they're going to lose money after X visits.

Here's a sweet lot for $160k

Looks like it has a few baby pine trees on it.

Yeah, I think they're banking on most purchasers not living within walking distance and they probably bribe the city to not put any bus stops out front :)

Made a map of what I will call the "through route" of my tour:

Ride with GPS | Bike Route Planner and Cycling Navigation App

It does not show the many miles of day riding I did in and around Burlington, which included a trip north to ride the causeway. It also omits a some miscellaneous mileage where I started to go certain ways but had to turn back because of road conditions. Finally, it does not included mileage within campgrounds and in Hyde, where I did a few miles riding from my motel to a wine store and laundry and back. I had to fudge it between Taconic State Park and Millerton because Google Maps, which RWGPS uses, does not yet show the recently completed trail section between those two places. Shortened the first day by avoiding miles along the lake due to a steady 15-20 mph headwind with stronger gusts. Odometer, which was at 0 when I left the house for the train station a couple of miles way, ended up at 650. Sounds about right when you add the excluded mileage described above. I checked the computer against some road mile markers a couple of times and it was pretty much spot on.

According to RWGPS, there was 28,790' of climbing. Average of only about 49'/mile. Not excessively hilly, but due to a healthy number of trail miles, that figure doesn't tell the entire climbing story.

Be careful. The home antigen test is full of false positives.

False postives > false negatives, though.

Here is a 2020 Dining Pass menu for one Six Flags location.

Has our discussion given you the urge to dine at Six Flags?

You've never spent a day at 6 Flags, have you?

So how is it that I go to an urgent care place run by a major hospital and it bills my insurance provider for a "OFFICE/OUTPATIENT NEW LOW/MDM 30-44 MINUTES" when, in fact, I was only inside the building for about 20 min. and with the actual doctor for maybe 5 min.?

I went the Friday morning before Labor Day because I had what turned out to be a small stye. I was worried that it was pink eye or something else contagious

Because our healthcare system is dysfunctional and some people/organizations exploit it by gaming the system.

Sad!

Dunno, will have to look in to it. At it is, I just work here and the wife has already made the appointment of choice.

I haven't seen a number of minutes on a medical statement.

I will try the Black Bean Burger with Waffle Fries, please.

Question for the vegetarians here: Why did you choose a vegetarian diet?
