I’m at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study visiting an old friend from academia, and seconds after we walked behind the main building, I went “Is that … is that the ‘Oppenheimer’ pond?! IT IS!!!!” Ha, I recognized it immediately.

I haven’t really played Final Fantasy XIV in two years, but I keep paying my sub because I am one of the lucky dudes with good property and I get the warm fuzzies from reading the many compliments on my sushi restaurant in the guest log.
But … I should probably let it go at this point, eh?

Absolutely floored to realize it’s so clear today that I can see the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada from East Bay. And pretty clearly, too. That’s about 100 miles.
I’m on the Los Vaqueros Trail.
