This is an east Portland neighborhood superpower: you can live in a good sized house with a big backyard on a tree lined street, but get an Uber in 5 and be at the airport in 15-20. You’re also almost always within 10-15 min walk of bars/restaurants.

If you have not read it yet, I *strongly* recommend reading Ted Chiang’s short story “The Truth of Fact, The Truth of Feeling” on orality, technology, memory. It is brilliant and ties into everything you wrote.

I’m with you, and feel like an outlier with this opinion: it’s going to make the seasons more interesting to go to different tracks every year. We’re gonna get to Spa in 2029 and be so happy to see it again, more so than having it on the calendar every year.

Some buddhists believe you will be reincarnated forever until you finally understand them.
This is like a monad: see, each individual life is like a container of an immortal soul that gets conditionally passed along, with some transformation during its lifetime…

It’s honestly amazing to me how many niche hobby/collector groups exist, for almost *anything*, no matter how esoteric. $1,451!

Damian Lewis has been a part of our media lives for 25+ years now and I am *still* surprised to hear his British accent, simply because his American one is so, so good.

Beautiful machine!
It’s funny how my brain is getting so used to aero across all of the superbike classes that now it’s odd to see bikes without it.
