Hopefully you aren't hiring illegals. ATT just ran fiber optic in our neighborhood with no warning. We had no idea who they were or what they were doing. Went out to ask the young guy digging and he couldnt speak english. Ultimately they severed our cable line and our gas line. Had a firetruck and 15 Atmos trucks in front of our house from noon until after midnight.
Is this only on Twitter/X?

nope. 1 foot then butt his out of bounds. Moore is an is an for not challenging
Thanks everyone for the recs! Going through them all and will let you know what we end up doing. My first instinct several months ago was a split week between Taormina and Syracusa.
Nothing specifically we are interested in seeing. Last year we spent a week in Cortona, a small mountain town in Tuscany. Absolutely loved it. Looking for a similar small town feel in Sicily. I appreciate all of the recommendations and will investigate. Going in March next year.
You didnt find driving there too challenging?
1 week in Sicily and 1 week in Southern Italy/Almafi coast

Any suggestions for Sicily? Particularly looking for smaller city suggestions to visit over the obvious larger cities (Palermo, Taormina). Thanks

Have yet to eat there, but I drove by the other day and the aesthetic of the first floor looks like the bar at a 1990s Holiday Inn. I looked at the prices and they are charging $28 for spaghetti and meatballs. Their waiters wear Green Polos like so many chains. Something just doesn’t quite fit to me. Though, if I hear enough good things about the food, I may give it a try.
The ambience is definitely off putting. Not a comfortable space. Ended up going for dinner. Cocktails were extremely sweet and not balanced. Fried okra and seafood arancini were decent. Since the board said the chef worked at Ruth's I got the 8oz filet. Not a good steak at all. It was way over seasoned. Too much salt and onion/garlic powder. Tasted like it was seasoned with french onion soup dry mix. The cook on it was good though. The service was very slow and they weren't that busy. Will try it again in a few months. But the steak was not even close to 527 or Cafe Lynn
Good to hear reviews of food. Was going to wait a few months before going.
There is actually a very famous jazz fusion band from the 70s with the name Weather Report.
The screws and washers need to be replaced every 10-20 yrs. The roof itself should last a very long time

its only $4700 in the rollover. $1440 in about 16 years ago and the rest interest gained. For the yearly contribution limit I assume the whole $4700 counts to the $7500?

Thanks. That was becoming my understanding of the situation. Yes top marginal bracket. I only have a small amount in a Rollover IRA but from what I am reading that isn't considered a Traditional IRA for purpose of conversion to a Roth. Thanks for the advice

I wish I understood this a little more. I am a reasonably bright individual but the world of finance is a foreign language to me. I was a late starter to beginning retirement contributions due to putting myself through school with a young family. I have been able to max out both a 401k and 457b now for 8 years. Began looking at supplemental additional funds for investment and am reading more about the topic here. Ultimately I may just need to hire a finance person to give me advice.

Literally wood chips, not figuratively, I guess? Because figurative wood chips wouldn't make sense.
I have been collecting vinyl for 15-20 years. The majority of what I collect are 50-70s jazz, rock, other stuff. I try to get first pressings in decent shape. I generally do not buy albums recorded digitally and then pressed to vinyl
