It will probably be packed no matter what, but particularly THIS first Wednesday of the month will be BONKERS because it's spring breaks in the area. Pretty much every museum, park, cultural Institution, zoo, etc will be packed between the 2nd and the 14th (NJ has spring break after Easter, so they keep the works gummed up).

Casinos know this doesn't reflect badly on them, only on the person who left the child. No reason to take on childcare liability.

I get my 1951 singer serviced there, they are great!

The whole area below and a decent chunk above the river is park, so yeah, no shovel or digging.

Had it twice! Its great! really does make an astonishing difference and I’d be much worse off if I haven’t had them. But. Apparently the right side of my face anatomy is all smushed up so there’s only so much space they can free up.

The ear is probably looking at tubes, unfortunately…

Preface: not a doctor. Just someone with fucked up sinus anatomy.

Your sinuses, the empty-ish spaces in your head have release valves (it's not really a valve, but an opening with membranes lining it, but anyway). On some people these openings are functional, they don't get swollen, their anatomy is proper so they they aren't blocked by other parts of your nasal anatomy, they don't have polyps or a deviated septum. Those folks probably rarely feel changes from pressure maybe other than in an airplane because the system is pretty open and pressure can't build because air is 'stuck'.

For those of us with shitty sinus anatomy, deviated septums, allergies, this closes those release valves. So there's just air trapped in your sinuses. The pressure changes, the amount of space that air takes up feels different. And since it's pressing on tissue, bone, face stuff, it hurts. This causes irritation, which causes swelling, which puts you in a horrible feedback loop of stuffiness and pain.

I cannot currently hear out of my right ear because there is so much pressure built up in there.

I worked for the Valley Forge tourism group for a while in grad school because they paid me decently to do almost nothing in like 2-4 hour blocks.

I would sit at the KOP mall and try to convince people that montgomery county was a tourist vacation destination to a bunch of people who pretty much lived in montco. Shockingly enough, I wasn't particularly successful. I gave out some magnets and other swag, which people will take free stuff no matter what. Got paid. Doubt they got even one hotel reservation from it.

He's been outside on occasion. He's not the regular guy I see there every morning, but he has been there a couple times in the evening if I'm leaving work late.

Less a book, more like a glorified pamphlet.

Thank you Thank you Thank you

Generally if you don't have kids, or deal with lots of kids, it really isn't in your world view. RSV generally runs rampant through tiny kiddos, and it kind of stayed within the land of tiny kiddos and their adults. But since everyone's immune systems are fucked from getting covid, and the numbers are SO high that it's breaking its bounds of the pre-school set.
