Maybe Vegas. Had a sons classmate tell me that they would be busy on a certain weekend because they had to go to nebby to get their passports to go to Vegas later. The kid was a freshman. Neither parent spoke English. The other adults and myself didn't ask anymore questions.
Did anyone explain to him that Vegas is in the continental US?

Although I will be in Vegas next week.

so my car wouldn't start after work Thursday night. Got it jumped, went to a work thing and it started up 3 hours later. Fine yesterday. Got in this morning and wouldn't start. Got back tonight and tried again, first time it wouldn't turn over, but did a series of clicks. Tried again and it started.

Battery is from last fall, lights all come on - is this probably something like the starter then?

Garh, we literally just took it in last week to get something fixed.

helped another set of friends move today, nice house that has a big yard and pool. They announced that they got engaged as well. Very happy for them. RTT has been around a while - the guy is the one who kind of brought us all together and then went through a rough summer a couple years ago when he broke up with his longtime GF and lost a parent. I remember thinking the breakup would make the friend group weird, but turns out none of us liked the gf, we just kept it to ourselves.
I remember the guy saying he didn't think he could ever find someone again and we were like shut up, you're a good guy and you deserve so much better (the ex erm, shared her affections with others)

Early last year he met this girl and they were a couple pretty fast. We met her early on and all loved her. So it's only been about a year and a half, but honestly I've been wondering when he would propose. She's so great, fits the group well, is good for him and it's just good all around. The ex's family didn't really like this guy and the new girl's family was there today helping move, and they've made several trips out to celebrate things with her sisters. Family is actually all a bunch of Cyclones save for the fiancee, ha.

A lot can change in two years!

We're living it up. My wife made a reservation for one of the rooms, but since they were all booked up, they gave us a cabin. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, living room, full kitchen, deck, etc.

Baby GTO and I just got back from the reception since it is almost his bedtime. Wife and oldest one stayed behind. Watching 15 minutes of Paw Patrol before bedtime.
