Wonder if the "single subject" rule will be considered.

Tell 'em to suck it, Speaker Rozzi.

Damn it, Debbie Downer, go back to Delaware.

The snow arrives on Wednesdays morning. Get out by Brickerville and you'll feel so much better.

How can people who love the beauty of nature vote for the nature hating GQP? Makes no sense.

What's a plane weigh?

Oh.

Much more than a bus?

Welp. One just slid off the runway.

If you go with a heat pump setup, you might want to skip the energy efficient varieties due to the size of your house and because it can take a bit of time for the temp to get up to/stay where you want it. Some will poo-poo that as a small consideration but if it is important to anyone in your house...

Electric vs. NG vs. propane.

Asked around a few years ago on the makes family members use in other states and the 5 which are used are Magic Chef, Lennox, Amana, Trane, and Carrier. The latter 2 are used by several. Magic Chef was bought out by Lennox ~ 1990, so I am guessing that unit is way old. Opinions on Lennox are of the meh variety, primarily due to fuel used. 2 Amana units in ranchers are HE electric units which have some issues on sub-20 degree days. The Trane and Carrier units are most often used and are highly regarded, although one Carrier had the burner box installed incorrectly. Servicing is an issue due to lack of trained technicians and pricing. Amazing how much that changes from state to state. Guess it really is a buyer beware thing.

The book referenced in the earlier post is Pennsylvania: A History of the Commonwealth by Miller and Pencak.

I'm surprised there are so many listings for PA in areas that are low in population but high in the number of state parks/gamelands. Why is there not a similar area for hunting/lake cabins in Maine?

"I applied to a bunch of jobs in PA all over the state and weirdly got a lot of responses. They were mostly in central PA and areas of Harrisburg, Allentown, Reading, York, etc. Also received a response from Pittsburgh area. Some of the responses are from large corporations."

Why is it weird to get responses when applying for jobs? Isn't that the idea? If you get invited in for a job interview, do you think that is weird, too?

"allodial title"

It's good you deleted that comment. What a bunch of blockfi bullshit.

>it "can" happen

You make my point for me.

G'day.

>Many roads lead to it.

Bunny trails.

Shannon Ainslee probably thought the same thing every time he went surfing.

Then he got bit.

Shit happens.

And bus drivers often drive too fast for conditions, especially in wet weather. Nearly 70,000 crashes each year. Just a wee bit more than a one-off event.

Plenty of folks will talk about the unit that delivers the heat, but how is that heat distributed in your house? Is your unit delivering via forced hot water into a baseboard or radiator? Is it forced hot air? Replacing a unit and its fuel source is relatively easy (ignoring the price) but if you currently are heated by the distribution of hot water, then you've got a whole nuther layer of work and cost to consider. Look at all parts of your heating/ac situation, consider the work that needs done, price it out as best you can, and then make a decision.

I remember this one: https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/as-seen-on-tv/tour-bus-crash-on-i-95-in-burnham-caused-by-driver-falling-asleep-at-the-wheel/97-27030595-af65-457c-a0e3-afa780055fce

This site provides some statistics: https://www.paulsoncoletti.com/bus-accident-statistics/

btw, when I was in college, almost always took Greyhound to get b/w home and school. Twice went off the road, once in rain another in snow. They drive too fast, imho.

Best bus drivers out there, imho, are school bus drivers. Yet... https://wgme.com/news/local/maine-90-crashes-school-buses-2022-windham-gorham-casey-southworth#

There has been no "good history book" about PA for at least 20 years, and that one is more academic and out of print (although I see used listings for it on Abe Books for about $50.00).

Looking topically and regionally is the only way to get a real sense of PA history. And that includes the Arcadia series.

The Swedes and the Dutch were in the Delaware decades before Charles II settled his debt to Penn's father by granting him a land patent to Sylvania in 1861. There were other people here before then, too.

There is a book series, of which I only have one, called Pennsylvania Fireside Tales, by Jeffrey Frazier. Not a thick book. Interesting reading.

>bus drivers know what they are doing

bwhahahahaaa... www.sadtrombone.com

Buses have a schedule to keep. They don't go slow.

If it as bad as you fear, don't worry. It'll be a long trip either because the bus will travel slowly, or it will not travel slowly and you'll end up in a ditch. Make sure your devices are fully charged and you have backup batteries!

Poor in, and of, good character.
