My last place was generally cooperative - no rules, just work it in with whatever we were trying to accomplish.

I sent you one back.
I get it and I understand what they were trying to do. I just didn't like the execution. I was enjoying the office comedy/social commentary of the movie including the more off the wall parts. But then things went all horse people and I stopped enjoying it.
hmmm.... don't generally have time off during the week. Stupid job and stuff. But I could try to get the day off.

I would argue that if you're shooting at 1/15, f/2.8, and ISO 25,600 then it is indeed pretty damn dark.
DSC_8546_HDR by Tim Souza, on FlickrBest I could do with a 3 exposure HDR. Even at ISO 3,200 the image is pretty grainy. Tried shooting at F/4 to get some depth of field, but with a shutter speed of only 1/5 second it was tough.

Not allowed in Antelope Canyon, otherwise I would have.
FTS max levels reached. Caught in the middle of a conflict between three different EVPs because everyone has different expectations from a beta release.
this. and it’s excellent.
If you are still in Page, there is an excellent Sushi joint called Blue Buddha.

Just bought tickets for this.
We camp with the trailer, and usually do some lift served and some XC, no idea whether the top of the mountain will even be rideable this year...

Left this morning, but good to know as I'd love to come back. I saw the joint, but was, understandably, a bit skeptical about good sushi in the desert.
I need to read the book. Still praising the book at face value seemes strange to me from what I know about it. It's like listening to David Goggins and thinking you need 100% the same mentality of "i will run till I shit myself and blood comes out of my pee pee"I love both the book, and the movie. In only the vaguest of terms are they the same story.
Forgot about it. Jesus. Give Denmark more sun, mountains and a better movie industry (it's quite good anyway) and I will give my kidney to live there. Ffs I could even audition for Lars von tier in his fucking bathtub (he really meets people in a jacuzzi naked)Denmark. Really similar to Venezuela I heard. Fucking socialism!
I get it. I also think the direction of the horse penis part was bad but the idea itself was very good. I think it will grow on you. It did on me. I saw it in may and I really liked it more as the time passed. For a more grounded social issues film "Blindspotting" and "Assassination nation" (ok the 2nd one is not really grounded, just no horse dicks) are really awesome picks.
Oh you poor land locked bastard...FULL COMMANDO!!
For the record: I have no idea what "board" shorts are.
On further investigation... they appear to be swim trunks?
All Sushi everywhere is flash frozen (and shipped frozen) in order to kill the microbes, it’s the law. It doesn’t matter where you are.Left this morning, but good to know as I'd love to come back. I saw the joint, but was, understandably, a bit skeptical about good sushi in the desert.
In fact, the ‘fresher’ it is, the more likely it is to kill you.

Hella deep freeze.
It's a conversation I've given up on explaining...
MAGA
Things are good... even skied a little a couple days ago. On the mend.
Pretty sure the bench is too large for my space. It’s all @Nick all the time.
Last year we had an amazing summer, hoping for another one of those. You are right, there are no mountains but the riding is still quite OK (XC style with some jumps/technical spots) as there is a lot of (official) trailbuilding going on lately. Riding MTBs is the new riding road bikes is the new golf.
What are EVPs?
Taking it at face value is the only way to read it IMO. If one were to try and develop some sort of personal philosophy or code from it, they would wind up as dumb, dead inside, fascist, and amoral as those people who think Ayn Rand was some kind of literary hero.
Approach it as lasers and aliens in space, but nothing more, and you should have a good time.
Edit: I enjoyed "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" as well. Rather surprised no one has tried to make it a movie.
"Stranger in a Strange Land" is just terrible.

Speaking about the Sun I mostly meant winter days being short. It annoys me in Poland and I am south of you
Yeah as someone who read both Ayn Rand books when I was 19 and 20 respectively I am perplexed how anyone over 30 can treat this book seriously but still some people do and same for Starship Troopers and a few other great sci-fi reads that had questionable philosophy. Then again I never judge old school philosophy when people had very little info about the world and many people who spoke the truth were taken for nutjobsTaking it at face value is the only way to read it IMO.

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." - John Rogers
You girls get a room.
I am hoping Marsha is still tending bar. Maybe it was Mandy. We might be getting Pizza instead.
OTOH, I don't recommend reading Vonnegut (it was The Sirens of Titan in my case) at age 11, either.
Tacos??
