A good friend was scammed out of $900 a couple of days ago. I consider him to be very intelligent with above average computer skills. He posted something for sale on Nextdoor (red flag) and was contacted about it. Was supposedly sent money on Venmo, then was contacted by 'Venmo' to tell him the...

A couple of years ago I went backwards and head first into the water off a friends jon boat. Happened in a flash and I popped right up but if I'd hit my head or something I might not have been able to pull the cord.

The Family Man with Nicolas Cage

Camping one night last summer the frogs were LOUD. Several of them from all around and then all at once they would go silent. I could see one of them going quiet if there was a predator near but wonder why all of them at the same time?

Thank you! There are so many choices. So far we have reservations at Patrizia Cencioni, Bindella, and La Fornace. Staying in an agriturismo near Montepulciano for four nights so lots of time to explore. I've been a kind of Washington wine snob so it will be interesting to broaden my interests.
