Happy New Year everyone! As I sit here planning my winter vacation, something just occurred to me. There is something very important happening this year that has been in the works for many years. The government had postponed the implementation of the Real ID law pertaining to aircraft, because of the pandemic. As of May 7, 2025, you must have a Real ID in order to board a domestic flight here in the United States. Up until now, you have been able to use a standard drivers license to board your flight. Considering there could be extended wait times to receive your Real ID (if you don’t already have one) you should apply for yours as soon as possible if you plan on flying this year.

The two concert festivals were not held in the exact same location, which, according to the documentary, might have actually been part of the reason why it went so […]

Unread E-mails
I’m going to take a guess that most of us can relate to this topic. Having unread emails in our inbox. Maybe you have multiple email accounts with a bunch of unread messages. I have a handful of different accounts for different parts of my life, and right now the number of unread messages, in […]
