“Your states comptroller or treasury office maintains an “unclaimed property” website where you can enter your name, address, etc, and find various payments/refunds/dividends that never made it to you.
My sister just told me about this and I had a tax escrow refund from 10 yrs ago that never made it to me. After submitting my info and initiating my claim the state mailed me a new check.”

“A night sky that’s not light-polluted. Even if you view it through a telescope there will be light reflected from mist in the air, and heated air will cause the sky to “wobble”. Also, your eyes will not get fully low light adapted either.
That said, you can still get great views of the planets and the moon. Right now both Jupiter and Saturn are very easy to see (Mars and Venus should be too, but I haven’t checked recently), and with 10x or higher binoculars (verified) you can see the four Galilean moons of Jupiter and get a hint of Saturn’s rings. Just see to that you rest the binoculars on something solid, so that it doesn’t shake.
Without light pollution you can easily see the Milky Way, nebulae and galaxies. Not so much in the middle of a city.”

“Homemade mozzarella cheese.
With a few pieces of equipment that aren’t particularly expensive you can make your own in half an hour. It’s unbelievably delicious when it’s really fresh. And if you stretch it right you can make your own string cheese.”

“The incredible high you get from doing something creative. I’ve experimented with drugs and I’ve drank a lot of alcohol, but none of those things could make me feel as great as I do when I’m able to write a lot (and be happy with what I wrote) within a short amount of time or was finally able to do something on guitar that I was never able to do.”

“Everyone thinks Luxembourg is a boring place with just banks and law firms and nothing else.
This couldn’t be more wrong and there’s an area called Vianden with a castle and a chairlift which is like a little fairytale land.
The pics on Google do not do it justice, but I lived there and trust me, there is far more to this beautiful country than everyone assumes.”
