Do apes like oranges or apples? Maybe just bananas.

I guess I’m a super ape. I like all of them.

We had Chef Boyardee and then Pizza Hut in Algona. That should count, too.

I loved Chef Boyardee, but my Mom’s recipe for her spicy meat sauce topped all sauces and still does. Vic’s Pizza opened in 47’, two blocks away, and is still there. It’s now 55 miles from me, but I still go there.

No, GHz is a frequency, Mbps a bit transfer rate.
They are definitely not equal.

You mean oranges are not apples?

I thought started with an H. I could only come up with Howie's and I didn't think that was right. I'll make a note of both of them now.

I guess GAS doesn't only apply to camera gear. I have a granddaughter that lives in Jersey City, maybe next time I visit I can take the long route and get a pizza. Harold's would be much farther out of my way. But who knows, maybe we'll do that on another trip.

My Mom's entire family was from Jersey City. I was born there - 1937
Be well!

I definitely have to try Vic's. I'm only a little farther than you. MapQuest puts it at 65 miles from my house. Vic's and I believe there's a deli that you also mention occasionally although the name escapes me at the moment

Yes, Jimmy! Harold's in Edison, NJ. It's a couple of miles right off i287 in Edison, NJ. Harold's NY Deli - https://haroldsfamousdeli.com/ It's the real deal!!
I worked parttime in "NY style delicatessens " for 50+ years, my 2nd job.

My PC is hard wired to the router. That's how I obtain very fast download speed. I ran a 75ft. ethernet cable along baseboards, up and over doorways and through four walls. to eliminate a wireless connection. I do live in a one floor 1500 sq. ft condo.

Thanks for the advice. I always insist on cash and make the transfer at the local police station, plus I have a marker pen to check for counterfeit bills

You have it covered, Bud!!

Dat's becuz it wuzn't a Noo Yawk pizza! (Where even the cardboard pizza boxes taste good! 🤣)

My first pizza was at Vic's Pizza in Bradley Beach, NJ in 1947, the year the they expanded the bar and added a kitchen and dinning room. I lived two blocks from Vic's. Now, I live 55 miles from Vic's. Same pizza as in 47', same knotty pine walls. The pizza has not deviated from 47'. Now, I drive 110 miles, round trip, to enjoy the pizza. We usually go with my friend and his wife. We've been doing that for 77+ years. It's that good!!

Macular degeneration

Age related macular degeneration, AMD, can make photography difficult, if not impossible. I’ve been tested for and eventually getting injection's in each eye for over four years. I’ve reached the stage now where I need a magnify glass to help me read and also will have to stop driving before the end of summer so I will be selling my cameras and lenses. Watch for my addi in the next month or so. I will first try Craig’s list for local photographers .
Bud

So sorry Bud. My wife has been getting injections for 13 years, in both eyes, every 5 weeks. Coincidently, I just dropped her off for a treatment and will pick her up in an hour. Life goes on, but at times it is difficult.

Please be careful with Craig's list. Years ago, perhaps because of my naivety, I was scammed TWICE selling camera equipment.
