Re: Roger Stone Freed by Trump
I thought this part of the statement by the Press Secretary was interesting: "Mr. Stone was charged by the same prosecutors from the Mueller Investigation tasked with finding evidence of collusion with Russia. Because no such evidence exists, however, they could not charge him for any collusio...

Re: Second passport?
Anyone looked into Italian ancestry passports as featured on CBS a year ago? This seems fairly detailed regarding it. https://www.italyheritage.com/genealogy/citizenship/ My father came here from Italy in 1927 at the age of 13. Don't know when he became a U.S. citizen but would it be fair to assume...

Re: Some 2020 General Election Polls
Ok, I do not dispute what Giuliani did. What I don't know, and what is more important (to me), is, did it materially improve the lives of the people in those areas? Certainly if there was less crime, their lives improved to some level. But did it result in a population that was simply afraid of cop...

Re: BSV for cash portion
https://investor.vanguard.com/etf/profile/BSV What would be the downsides to using the Vanguard Short Term Bond Fund for the cash portion? It is 67% in treasuries with a 2 year duration. It held up well in 2008 and so far this year in comparison to a Treasury only ETF like SHY. And over a 10 year p...

Will the cats get along with the pugs? And don't you have a bunch of other critters? Pugchief may need a bigger place. Good questions! 3 cats, 9 gerbils, 3 rats. They would obviously have to stay locally, though, I hope I at least outlast the last 2 groups. The cats are either only 4 years old or 2...

As if 2020 couldn’t get any stranger, Kanye West has announced that he plans to join the presidential race. Given that Kanye is likely to siphon more votes from Biden than from Trump, his presence in the race might give Trump an even better chance of winning. "Asked about foreign policy, West ...

Re: The cars we love/hate & the cars we may buy.
Mark, Pretty fastidious on the fill-ups. I always watch MPG to get an "early warning." You may be on to something, though. I'll see about the next tankful and, probably, stop and ask the mechanic. Vinnie, I'm usually on top of the tire PSI but it's been 2 weeks. I'll check later today. Ch...

Just filled the gas tank and surprisingly, MPG dropped to 22 from the usual 29 to 31MPG. Car's running well and my mix of highway/local and stop-and-go has not changed. The needle dropped too fast compared to the trip odometer this fill-up. Any thoughts? Thanks. Not having properly inflated tires I...
