You also can't get a DUI days after using Oxy or be denied employment for taking it weeks before.

I hit a black bear out of state and claimed it through progressive. No increase in my rates. I chose to take the payout less my $500 deductible and fix it myself. Ended up with some extra cash in my pocket when it was all said and done.

Love Quiet Oaks Campground. Still haven't made it up for the festival. The owner is super cool.

Ah, I see I've stumbled across the arbiter of ailments. Again, be less of a dick.

It's pretty important to those who need it medicinally. They don't want to have their lives ruined by using something that helps their conditions (although the current mmj system doesn't do much to protect the patients). That's like asking someone taking a prescription medicine "does your life revolve around Zoloft". Try keeping an open mind and be less of a dick.

Rural areas and even many suburban areas are full of purse clutchers. Minorities aren't getting lynched or anything, but it could be pretty uncomfortable in some areas to be one. It's fairly safe outside of Philadelphia. Harrisburg, York and Lancaster have issues with crime but they got nothing on Philly. Love the city, but they need to get their shit together. You go to towns in the Coal Region and you will see a lot of decay. Not many jobs and drug use is pretty high (meth and heroin).

For the most part, I love PA. I could do without the far right mouth breathers, but the nature makes up for it. We have an awesome state park system and the state forests are beautiful. I live in central Pa, outside of Harrisburg and it's honestly a really decent area to live and raise a family. Lots to do. Lots of restaurants and shopping. My biggest gripe is the infrastructure. Thousands of single family homes and townhouses going in alongside shopping centers and the existing roads just can't handle it. They are working on it, but road and highway projects take years to complete here. The widening project from Union Deposit to the 81/83 split took a decade to complete and now they are in the planning stages for the next section which could take many more years.

Probably went to Ashland for the field trip, but the story is about nearby Centralia. I believe the home they are referring to is up by the old highway (graffiti highway).

Harrisburg area is like this. Pennsyltucky is a short drive in any direction. I enjoy it. When I want to fuck off to enjoy solitude in the middle of the woods I don't need to go far. And when I need food and house stuff, Im a short trip.

I love how "moderate" republicans try and distance themselves from the dumpster fire that they helped cause. Birds of a shit feather, Randy.

You should be used to that by now.

Unless I'm on a mission somewhere and need to be there ASAP, I try not to hit the highways. We've seen so many places in PA and other states that way. You get a skewed perception of a place when all you see is crusty truck stops and warehouses.

You should be ok if you tell them it isn't yours.

Got married in October at Historic Acres of Hershey in Elizabethtown, PA. Its a beautiful venue. We got the elopement package for around 1k. Included an officiant (religious or non religious), cake and champagne for a toast.

Ive installed a bunch of systems and have my EPA 608 certificate. I know I can install it and have no issues, but I won't get the warranty. A highly reputable vendor that does work for my company quoted me at 7500 for a trane 14 SEER unit. My carrier oil furnace is not old, so I'm opting to keep it for back up heat or else I'd go to a higher SEER.

Yeah, I'm not arguing it isn't an added strain on the grid but to call them inefficient is wrong. I want to get rid of my oil furnace and get a heat pump. I got a quote but I'm waiting until there is more clarification from the federal government in regards to HEEHRA. Bought 200 gallons this year. Hoping it lasts. This cold snap is putting a dent in it though.

Technically true, but they maintain 100% efficiency. Modern cold weather and geothermal units can handle these conditions with no sweat.

Electric heat is still 100% efficient at these temps. A heat pump may not be giving you the 300% efficiency it normally would, but it's still more efficient than alternatives.

Really loved his articles and found many new places in Pa thanks to him. His articles were one of the very few things that I went to Pennlive for.

Oof. Shitty place to be stuck.

We had a coal stove when I was growing up. Hopping out of the shower and standing in front of that things was awesome. Dealing with the ash was a pain in the ass though.

I used to use fuelwonk but that site has become cancerous to use. Would like to find an alternative. Many places are so secretive about their pricing.

Just paid 3.99/gal for 100 gallons in Harrisburg area. Price is +/- .20c in this area depending on supplier.

That's odd. Usually DRLs run off a photo eye.

Both my 4runners and our f350 have the auto setting and it keeps the headlights on all time. They shut off when the vehicle is locked. Our f350 shuts the lights off when you put it in park during the day.

DRLs are the dumbest invention. Every car should have auto headlights. Mine are set to auto and my headlights are on anytime the vehicle is on.

Grease Girl? Maybe a lube tech or really loves John Travolta.

Had a good one pass me the other day. Giant lifted pick-up weaving in and out of traffic. License plate said COMPENS8. Wish I could snagged a pic

They closed the off road section at the end of Gut Rd. with locked gates and the owner is quick to call the cops.

Tower Rd in Enola is pretty good. Don't know if the mud pits are still at the top though.
