About 145 million American adults say that they own or have owned cryptocurrency. Statistically, that's more than half of your co-workers, neighbors and friends.

However, President Biden recently signed an executive order to address cryptocurrency risks with a whole-of-government approach that could make cryptocurrency even more attractive to investors as well as traditional banks and credit unions.

Known as the Tejon Pass, often called the Grapevine, it is a steep 5½ mile, 6% grade at the northern end of the pass that makes national news every winter when it is shut down due to ice and snow, stranding thousands of motorists and big rig drivers.
In summer, it can destroy a vehicle's engine and transmission if they are in poor condition. It has two runaway truck ramps. All of that said, coming down I-5 is one of the most dramatic drives I know of and never tire of the experience.
Found the ‘Ideal' Used Compact Sporty Car
"I was looking for a low-mileage, automatic, sporty car from Detroit and found a 2013 model year that I thought was ideally priced at $15,000 at a car dealership in Los Angeles. They photocopied my ID and driver's license, handed me the keys and said, ‘While this particular model is no longer being manufactured, it was seen as Detroit's answer to BMW and Mercedes. Take it anywhere you like.'
