Water. It used to be basically free. Now it's $7 at the airport.
Does anyone have a good example of inflation hitting your life? Shit is sneaky.
Also member how much larger fun size Halloween candy or Easter candy like Cadbury eggs were when you were younger? You’re not misremembering. The Halloween candy I hand out now is a joke.
It helps that IPAs are very popular, those are fairly easy to make and make quickly.
Burial is great.

The TV price deflation is awesome. About to buy a couple when we get a new house.
On that note, we saw a house yesterday that we loved. It's an extra 10-15 min or so each way on the commute for me (30-45 instead of 20-35), which isn't that big a deal. The main drawback is that it's the last house on a residential street that dead ends about 50 yards further into a church parking lot. The church is on a main road, and provided a ton of buffer, which is nice (and I don't think there's really any church traffic on the residential road). But the problem is, it's one of those old low-level churches built in the 80s that is quite the eyesore (in my opinion). Pic of the back of the church below. Should this be a deal breaker?

larger craft breweries are starting to feel the pinch since people want local. Deschutes was gonna open in Asheville and then decided on Roanoke but has put that on hold. Ballast Point sold for a billion dollars a few years ago but some random Chicago brewery just bought them and they closed their taproom in VA. Green Flash had to close their East Coast brewery, too.
Sierra Nevada and New Belgium still seem to be doing ok, though, so I guess we'll see what happens.
FWIW, New Belgium is being acquired by a subsidiary of Kirin in an all cash deal; it was announced mid-December.
Say Hey Deac loved him some Krystal man. I think we drove to Elon one time just to get one. I always found both that and WC p nasty. There was a WC around the corner from me in Columbus conveniently on the way back from a neighborhood bar my roommates and I frequented, but I would almost always go for a Hound Dogs 'za with the spicy sauce instead. That sauce was spicy, damn. Good shit though.
There is no better fast food burger, nay, potentially no better burger in the world, than In-N-Out. Shake Shack can't hold a candle to it.
I'd go by there on Sunday morning and see what the deal is. I'd also checkout their morning weekday preschool dropoff and pickup if they have one to see if there's going to be a carpool line in front of your house everyday, twice a day. No idea about the health of the church, but what if it sold for redevelopment of the 7.7-acre lot ? It would either be some sort of McMansion duplex or townhome development, if they cold get rezoning, which would probably pit you against Simonini or someone like that.
Also, houses on the opposite side of Providence Road have a completely different school assignment. You can't trust CMS no matter where you live, but you'd be right on the boundary between MPHS and East Meck. No telling what that might look like when you have kids.
Lastly, turning left onto Providence Road at certain times of the day is probably impossble.
Not trying to unsell you on the house, but those are the things I'd consider. The church is the main thing though.
