Why would I get it if I hadn't needed to and have just been able to continue to renew my license online and not go to a DMV? I can't think of the last time I stepped foot in one. Have an appointment for my Real ID now in a few weeks though.

Define "banker". Loan officer? Teller? Executive?

re: Fairly decent sized upset in Game 1 of the Pacers/Cavs series….

Posted by CONNECTICUTTIGER on 5/4/25 at 10:28 pm

Pacers will win this series. They are the only team in the East with a chance to beat Boston. They played without Mathurin last year, and basically gave away 3 of the 4 games in that series.

There is a ton of history, I love how they have signs all over the place with information. There is also a great zoo.

We just got back 2 weeks ago. Go to Singer Island and checkout Sailfish Marina. Great food and vibe, also has a Tiki bar next door if you want to have a drink or two before hand. If you want great Italian (and in town) go to Lynora's (be sure to go the one on Clematis, not Dixie).

I was about 22, driving on the highway around midnight (100% sober) in the middle lane and suddenly a car going to wrong way was coming right at me, probably doing 90. Luckily I swerved to my right and he swerved to his right. I can still hear the guttural scream I let out. Absolutely terrifying..

Rhode Island, Maine or NH along the coast if you like the ocean. Boston obviously is great for big city life and is close enough for day trips elsewhere too.

Lakers were without 2 of their starters, and Tatum played 46 minutes for Boston...in a regular season game. Lakers will be just fine.

Definitely need more info as to which parts of the states you would be in, but downtown Portsmouth (on the seacoast) has a ton of great bars and restaurants. Conway, NH is another really cool town. If you like hard cider, both states have plenty of local places to try.
