Revised our plans ... To match reality For the big move tomorrow. The accent wall is on hold, for now.

The younger generation absolutely nailing some of the older songs, respectfully.

a professionally hand rolled for a charity event last year that my friend passed along to me... a good smoke even if it had a little uneven burn to begin with. and I found that having little sips of cheap sake goes really well with a smoke...

Introducing the Ricoh GR IV Monochrome

in contrast. Bad Brains by Bad Brains (1982) https://open.qobuz.com/album/cc8ibgp6uc1mc Example: ^^ ha - age restriction - not sure why it is just the nice tune "Pay to Cum"...

My favourite discovery of 2025 is Kardi, mostly because of this insanely under-rated powerhouse of a singer, Kim Yeji. I haven't heard them do songs like these two (I'll post the other one in another thread), before, respect.

Doh!

Ha. Is that the children's menu? Watching John Ford at Monument Valley. This should get me up-to-date information. https://tubitv.com/movies/571280/john-ford-at-monument-valley

Weird place to put this, but I scrolled by this and thought Michael Stipe was you.

So have a quick/short vacation possibly coming up and although have been nearby previously (GC, Bryce, Zion, etc.), we've not done the John Ford wet dream yet. Researching now, but anyone have any suggestions of specific buttes, mesas, petroglyphs, or other sites to visit? Even a preference between the two areas? Driving our rough & tumble Mini Countryman, so everything is on the table.
