pretty much. i was over a decade removed from undergrad to dental school, and while i had a bachelors in biochemistry i needed to retake some courses for some schools

from the time i actually made the decision to pursue teeth it took me almost five years to start school. had to transition out of the previous career, and sell my condo, and take some of the refresher courses (last part took the longest since i did night classes while still working)

but the path was the same as it is for any other dentist: take an entrance exam and hopefully score well, apply to schools and get interviews/get in, survive 4 years of acute hellish torture, pass three board exams and get a state license

You might want to ask the nova subreddit as more will have experience with the question.

But keep is my vote. We have like 6 months of usable weather for it here.

Depends on how old/lifespan of the pool. Do you value having a pool? They'll add to your home owners insurance as well as the cost of maintenance. Are you ok with those costs?

Pools can be a ton of fun in the warmer months and if you like to host parties, having a pool is a nice bonus. Some of the best summer days for me are spent poolside with friends.

If the pool is in good shape and you'll enjoy it - leave it. If it needs a lot of work and you don't want the long-term costs & maintenance, fill it in.

How dense do you have to be to find that confusing? Rotate that image 180 degrees and the paint stripes are also clearly visible.

There's also a sidewalk 2 or 3 feet from the right travel lane. Just slow down.

OP, there's absolutely no reason to even bother contesting this one, if you're talking about the same image.

They are pretty miserable about that one. I got a photo ticket there once and was pretty damn sure I was not speeding, I carefully scrutinized the pictures they provided and showed them on an aerial photo the exact position of my car on the aerial photo before and after with the measured distance and used the timestamp before and after to calculate speed and it absolutely PROVED I was in fact not speeding and they still refused it.

Where I was confused was regarding the Real ID requirements, in addition to the usual things. I brought everything (except my SS card the second time), but then was told I didn't need them when I got there, or didn't need to be there in person

Sorry, you're right. I guess I was thinking of all the times when it was that way before that I'd get on a yellow train without thinking and end up having to get off at Mt V Square and wait for green. Effectively three trains there. :) It just doesn't make sense to me that they're talking about reducing intervals, but for all of us who live north of downtown it would mean just the opposite.
