Hello! Happens here. We've got a bag game going that's not as peculiar as the one in NJ. I've got a reusable that bought from the one in Queens. I also make use of a satchel that followed me home from an AWS event. Incidentally the older iPad that came back with me works nicely. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

Just to add to the story. I was blindsided by this also.

I went to Micro Center up in Paterson, New Jersey. I bought a whole bunch of little items , parts, things that I needed for repairs. At the check out, I found that they don’t have any bags either (I asked for paper also), but yes they are willing to sell you a bag. I live in New Jersey and I thought the bag rule was only for grocery stores!

Off-topic, but not off-topic.

I'm only interjecting this to the thread as an out-of-stater who was caught off-guard when shopping for personal use when in NJ.

For those coming from out-of-state, and expect to hit a grocery or convenience store for food, personal effects, etc., and don't want to pay for a reusable bag, bring a bunch of plastic bags for your own use. Stores in NJ are banned from providing plastic bags, but you are still able to bring your own to bag up your groceries, etc., or risk needing to pay $1-$2 per bag at the checkout counter.

Just an FYI

I was the audio guy and one of the hams involved. I feel the same.

My impression with television news is that they will pick and choose whatever they want. I don't know how News 12 came to film at InfoAge, but weeks after they did that 3 minute segment there are still visitors that remember seeing it and come to visit. I wish that they would be more sensible about coming to film events.

They weren't interested in a direct contact with the space station from a local school.

That kinda makes me want to throw up.
