My wife has four or five large planters on our deck, with various lettuce varieties. We went to a restaurant that served us iceberg and spring mix, with some of the spring mix turning black.
As I pushed the nasty-looking salad away, I told her she has ruined me for any restaurant salad ever again.

I may have missed it, but some things I would add:
Wear light-colored clothing! From jacket to pants to shirts. Makes a huge difference.
Wear a light-colored helmet! And when you stop, take it in the restaurant. Don’t leave it on the bike in the sunshine.
Park in the shade! There’s always a puddle of shade somewhere.

Good rule of thumb: It takes less time and money to stop and buy gas than to run out of gas.
And I’ve been known to push my vehicles into the vapor zone.

Because the government has done such a great job protecting my privacy already ...

Good ideas.
S100 is the stuff, but it eats any pinstriping you may have. I only use it on rims, anymore.
I quit using Armor All — I think it actually hurts, long term. (I keep bikes out to 100,000.)
I keep some small kitchen sponges and old toothbrushes to do my rims — makes it easy to get into all those nooks and

I’m no engineer, but could you NOT start with that peak wall, or curtain wall, that tips over onto the other Mutt building?
Sheesh. And it looks like the Mutt building has some nice architectural details to it, that will all wind up in the dumpster.

I still wrench on motorcycles, but they have gotten a lot more complex.
I do all the routine maintenance and minor items, even building a cafe bike from a barn find, but anything really big tends to land at a dealer. (Which is not much, given the reliability of a modern bike.)
You know what has made all the difference?

IRAs were nearly brand-new in when I started working my first real full-time job. If only ...
Keep driving used cars. But your main family vehicle can be purchased new and driven for a long, long time (for safety items)
Don’t believe the bank when they tell you how much house you can “afford.”
Credit unions, forever.

So he’s keeping his campaign promises, and that is a bad thing?
Interesting.
I guess you are used to Democrat and Republican candidates, who say one thing to get elected, then “evolve” (Dems) or “flip-flop” (GOP.)

If this plan would reduce the time and energy people spend on their taxes, collecting paperwork, storing paperwork and filling out overly complicated forms for the government all the while sweating an audit for a mistake — sounds like a heck of a hack to me! :)

Then you should invest, Skippy, and get in on the gravy train.
Of course, that means you would have to take a personal risk with your own money, wouldn’t it?

Bullfeathers, sn0wslay3r.
Every company that I have worked for, when it was successful, rewarded consumers, and me, and investors, and shareholders.
If it didn’t, I left. Or I sold my shares.

Simplifying taxes overall is a worthy goal. The AMT, like so many tax schemes, is now ensnaring many for whom it was never designed.

My experience is this article is about 10 years behind the curve.

How it works under Obama?
First, find a traitor, or a turncoat, who cost the lives of American soldiers or cops.
Or a criminal convicted of drug and/or ironically, gun crimes against Americans.
Then, turn them loose into American society again.
Rinse, repeat, more than any other president. Ever.

Boss’s internal nickname is Chainsaw, which guys you went to college with let slip at the job site.
I kid thee not.
I turned down the job, and found out later that was the best decision of my former career.
:)

Hmmm. No problem with Friendly+ that I have seen, and it keeps me out of Facebooks claws and Messenger ...

Prove to us you are not guilty.
Sounds like government to me.

All true, but one part I call BS.
There is nothing so relaxing as entering the SECOND WEEK of vacation.
You can literally FEEL the weight lift. :)

Trump can just do like Obama, and refuse to enforce the law.
Or he can just wait, and watch the courts shoot another Obama overreach down in flames.
It happens so regularly already, it’s just a matter of time and your tax money.
