I first thought of the Germs (GI) and Devo’s Duty Now For the Future record, both of which I purchased at the age of 15 and which blew my young mind. And those records still resonate today. But for this one, I’m going with The Cramps’ Songs The Lord Taught Us, as it also had a lasting impact on me musically, with roots, punk, psychedelia, fuzz guitar, reverb and edgy lunacy smashing together.(IRS)I started Tombstones In Their Eyes with James Cooper, whom I have known since I was about 13.

They’re a go-to method to ensure we get our daily dose of vitamins. They undeniably play an important supporting role in stews, soups and sauces, or as a colorful flourish to leafy green salads and vegetable medleys. However, carrots are more than just a token flavor agent and accompaniment to a main dish. They are versatile and exciting and can easily be celebrated as the star attraction.This recipe shines the spotlight on the humble carrot. It’s the center of the plate, dusted with a blend of harissa spice, which is a fiery, fragrant North African condiment.

At the time, there was no requirement for us to be vaccinated for the COVID-19 virus.A year later, just before our cruise, I received an email titled “COVID-19 Policy Update for Your Upcoming Journey.” It required all guests to be “up to date” with their vaccinations.Christopher Elliott, the Travel Troubleshooter We would have never booked this tour if this requirement had been in place in 2021. Tauck changed the terms of its agreement without our consent.After receiving the COVID-19 policy update, we canceled the tour. Tauck gave us eVouchers for our next reservation, which are useless to us because of their COVID-19 policy.I want a complete refund of the four eVouchers. Can you help me?— Daryl DeCrow, Simi Valley, CaliforniaANSWER: If Tauck changed its terms, you should be able to get a full refund.
