First, some unusual vehicles we spotted this year. The first one was parked in front of our hotel, and is owned by them. We got a big laugh at the comment painted on the passenger side rear panel. It's an old Mercedes vehicle, last licensed in 2023. Since then, the State has hugely increased the …

Every waking moment of every day of our lives, we are presented with a myriad of choices, large and small, most we don't even notice. But I was reminded of Sowell's phrase when I read an article …
