One of the best movie quotes of all time was said by the amazing Bill Murray in one of the most underrated comedies of all time, What About Bob. “There are two types of people in this world: Those who like Neil Diamond, and those who don’t. My ex-wife loves him.” That’s how I feel about taking cruises. Some folks love cruising, some just don’t. Some of us aren’t sure how we feel, so we keep booking cruises hoping to make a definitive decision. That’s my group. And yes, that means I’m getting ready for a cruise. It reminds me of my best times on cruise ships. It reminds me of my worst. Cue foghorn.

There is an art to leveling soil that most people never get to see. The tractor driver seems to take endless trips around and around the same plot of ground not making any progress—until you really look at the difference in the slope of the soil where the tractor has traveled. The same can be said about the everyday life of a student.
Though many people have happily put the COVID-19 pandemic behind them, lingering issues related to the pandemic continue to affect individuals in unique ways. That's especially true for drivers looking to replace their existing vehicles. In the early days of the pandemic, efforts to contain the spread of COVID- 19 led many auto manufacturers to cease production at their factories. Semiconductor chip shortages related to the pandemic also led to factory closures. One of the ripple effects of those closures was a reduced inventory of new vehicles, which led individuals to look to the preowned market when they needed a new car. That increased the value of trade-ins, including trade-ins of leased vehicles. The automotive experts at Edmunds note that the average trade-in value of a vehicle leased in 2020 was 19 percent higher than the predetermined residual value, so lessees had greater incentive to keep the vehicles when their leases expired than in years past. That further affected the supply of preowned vehicles on the market, which Cox Automotive reports has led to a spike in the cost of preowned vehicles in 2023. The Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index indicates that, by mid-March 2023, wholesale used vehicle prices had already increased by 8.8 percent, a trend that Cox forecasters expected to continue as the year progressed.
