That is a brutal commute. You could potentially take NJ Transit from Penn Station to Trenton, and once you arrive in Trenton you would have to take an Uber to/from your workplace. The train ride alone is around 90 minutes, plus you have to factor in the time it takes to get from your apartment to Penn, plus the Uber drive time once you're in Trenton. So you're easily looking at 2 hours minimum each way and that's if everything goes smoothly. Factor in any kind of delay and it's even more of a nightmare.

Do not plant hostas if you live in an area that has deer. Deer will eat the leaves and they don't grow back until the next year. They destroy mine every year. I usually wait until late April before planting anything in the ground.

I have had Geico for my car for almost 20 years and their customer service has been great. I also have roadside assistance on my policy which is very simple to use through the Geico app.

I think it's human nature to want to take sides and feel like part of a team. I'm a tech person so I have devices and gadgets from all brands. My primary phone is an iPhone and my primary laptop is a Chromebook. Google apps work well on Apple devices. The problem is that Apple apps do not play nice with Google (Facetime, iMessage, etc.). Apple does this intentionally as a way to sell more iPhones, and that is likely why many Android users dislike Apple.

Yesterday was definitely a weird day for driving. In a span of less than 2 hours I saw 2 different cars driving the wrong way on a highway on-ramp on I-280. I also saw a guy (NY plates, of course) approach an on-ramp and come to a complete stop. I had to slam on my brakes. He then just proceeded to enter the ramp like nothing happened.

My neighbors moved to CA a few years ago and shipped their car. They have young kids so driving across the country was not really practical. A big car carrier came to the house and they drove the car onto the truck. I believe they said it would take about 2 weeks for the car to arrive in CA. I am not sure what company they used or how much it cost.

A 3-bedroom apartment or house in any kind of desirable community within commuting distance to NYC is going to be at least $3500/month.

I see plenty of cars that don't even bother clearing off their back window.
