I fly a nice amount per year. I am accustomed to the normal and sometimes very significant drops caused by turbulence. But I never experienced what I am about to tell you in my hundreds of thousands of miles flown on a plane. I was flying on a clear day, the skys were clear, the
A month ago, I applied for the Chase Continental Presidents Plus card. I got the cards this week and already moved all my known spending to this card. I will soon be free of American Express. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t mind AMEX, they have been good to me. But I am leaving AMEX

I have been very eager for my new custom New York license plates to arrive. I ordered the plates, RustyCar over 4 weeks ago and they are still not here. The order confirmation email reads: Allow two weeks to receive your registration receipt and window sticker by mail. Your new plates will be mailed separately;
