In reply to Dimitri. When I learn more about it I'll pass it along. So far from what I can find on line it is pretty well liked. To me the advantage is being able to use it with my regular phone number from Italy or elsewhere in Europe for 2FA and needed phone calls.

Hey Buzz,
Thanks as always for the great links. Have a great time overseas, I’m looking forward to hearing more about your trip later, especially regarding medical and expat views.
I’m with Nick and DML.
However I am a little concerned regarding the toilet paper tariff war.
Carl, I’m definitely interested in hearing about Popcorn, thank you.

NickPFD is right!

I hope you’re having a great time on your trip. And thanks for the wonderful links. Good to see the self-interest of investment experts laid bare.

Detroit is one of the great Delta hubs. I can understand why Delta would be attractive
for those in Detroit area.

How about we rename Lake St Clair to Lake TBB?

Silver! For the Pacific North West! Heh! Just a flashback to the old days. Lots of good stuff here and I am glad you are on “Staycation” or whatever and I know you will enjoy it. Hope all the flights were smooth and without problems. Thanks for the interesting links, as always, this is the best collection of reading I get in the e-mail all week!

Have a good time!! I am trying hard to plan travel but keep coming up with new Doctor appointments and stuff. I think I will just have to pick a time and go and be unavailable here and the hell with it.

Oh! And I am looking into Popcorn Mobile, a new-ish phone/cell service that says it can have you use your regular phone number basically worldwide. If anyone knows about this or has experience with it, I’d love to know if they like it.

Enjoy!

Kromo property looks intriguing and has been popping up on my Insta so will be waiting to hear your thoughts.

Nepal flooding looks horrendous. How do they recover given the limitations on the financial situation of the country and lack of equipment on site to even look for the missing? Very sad situation.
