Is that why Wilmington is such a nice place?

The representative from Travelers (her company) seemed shocked the customer never reported the accident and noted the policy was currently in force ... Even though we were hit while at a stop, I called GEICO the same day to meet my legal obligation.

As I recall from when I worked in the city and had colleagues who lived in South Jersey, NJ credits you for the city wage tax. I would assume they do the same for the Wilmington wage tax, though I believe the arrangement between NJ and Philly/PA is by special agreement.

ETA I was wrong; the special agreement between NJ and PA means that you pay taxes for your home state if you live in one and work in the other. The wage tax credit is an NJ credit for taxes paid to other jurisdictions, I think.

Apparently, that was a highly complex task that you performed! Sad that others can't carry out such a daunting task

It amazes me that there are no arrivals lounge options for *Gs at LHR.

One of these days TSA is going to hand-search carsonheim's purse and she'll end up on the news again. She was the dollar coin lady; she'll then be known as the "Nutella bomber."

That's because the Germans believe you should connect through FRA on the Luftwaffe. It's more efficient that way, and you don't get the INP on a shower.

only if I get randomly selected for additional search at the boarding gate. I take my packets home and stick 'em in the freezer, a tip learned from Steve Gadfly!
