Ah here is one of the articles I read, quote: "Indeed, a study by dermatologists at Emory University in Atlanta found that standard rain umbrellas can block at least 77 percent of UV light [Source: JAMA Dermatology]. Black ones did the job especially well, blocking about 90 percent of UV rays...
I did a little bit of research. I found an article about sun umbrella vs. regular widely available rain umbrella. The article talked about sun protection and coolness. They are about comparable. I don't remember where I saw this. Just that the research was done in Australia. My plan is to just...
Hmm. yes and no. Maybe the local folks would like it as it would mean a quieter walk? In my city, we have permitted parking by neighborhood. It's wonderful in areas that are crowded, has time limited or pay parking. The sticker gives an exemption for residents (a sticker on the car or a card to...
This surprises me. I had thought (in the US at least) that "cash" is preferred. I've done medical billing. Billing insurance is a pain and payment can be randomly denied and even when all goes well, it isn't actually paid for months. Being paid at time of service with cash is easiest.

I probably spent that much on shoes last year... (I like shoes) But a well fitting smart looking shoe that lasts mostly forever sounds like a fantastic investment.
Has anyone recently visited the sites? I am thinking of staying at Atapuerca. It looks like from this link I can get a tour of the sites from the town center. https://www.museoevolucionhumana.com/en/atapuerca-visit
God forbid you say "Washington." Folks assume D.C. (Which irks me to no end.) Even when I lived in Everett and Mountlake Terrance I told folks when traveling I was from Seattle. (Which I do live IN Seattle now.)
It's funny to run into folks.
"Where do you live?"
"Seattle."
"Me too! Where?"...
As a knitter. This is the recommended way of drying wool garments. Water pressed out in a clean towel and then lain flat to dry.
It is generally a no-go. But if your instructions say it's ok, it's ok. It's possible the wool used in your sweater is "super wash" wool in which the wool/yarn fibers...
And stemless are not ideal for white wines. Hand heat, bad for the white wines. :D I am fine with them for reds. It's only 13:00 here right now and I am craving a wine.
Oh! I did not know this was ok! https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/corkscrews-no-blade
Could I assume other security agencies would allow? I am flying a small Dutch airline from Paris to Biarritz/Bayonne. I suppose I wouldn't cry if it were confiscated. But it's...
I can relate. I have a problematic digestive system as well. Different problems. But for instance the only way my acid reflux can stay in check is to have some vinegar in water every evening. So I'll be toting a bottle of that everywhere. Yay me. I guess the good news is vinegar is widely...
