50. Around Chicago. Want to travel again when/if things get better. Love photography and musicking (if you work hard at something, it is no longer playing) and making stuff with my CO2 laser.

WoT book #4 has 1.5 times as many pages.
Chapter 26 was... exposition. Need to bookmark that.
Halfway through this one. Don't like Faile. But just my opinion.

Do we really need to open the discussion on why blaming all medical issues Americans suffer on "the American diet"?
(e.g., NAFLD)
There are so many scientific and medical reasoning issues with saying shit like that, let alone the colonialist overtones, especially when they are from the UK

ORD to AMS 4/23 is almost triple what it was last year. My dream of using the miles we've accrued since COVID just will never materialize. 350k miles might get me free wifi on a trip from Chicago to... Indianapolis... and that's a maybe.

I *do not* love not being able to plan ANYTHING beyond two weeks because our g******** sucks.
Job? Maybe not.
New travel restrictions? Probably.
Cost of flying domestic or international going to double again? You might want to plan on that.

I bought these at Next in London when I was there in 2012. They are fitting well if not a bit short.
I'm also glad they are button fly chinos.

I'm old enough to remember when "regular" gasoline WAS NOT supposed to be put in cars, only farm equipment. It still had lead in it.

Literally just happened. My husband stumbled out of bed and tripped on the last stair leading to the kitchen as he was trying to get another cup of coffee.
