After taking a couple year break mid-second season as I thought it was feeling a little sentimental, this week I plowed through the remaining episodes of Gervais‘ After Life. The last season was nearly all wins in my book.

Ken has spent far more time there than I, though it sounds like neither of us have been there in decades, so I can’t speak to current conditions. When I was there it was very split - things subsidized, if you were allowed on, the military side, tourist structured on the other. I vaguely remember I could buy three six packs of beer on one side for cheaper than a single bottled water, on the beach, on the other. The rumor, who knows it if was true, was the Japanese tend to think of it as a cheaper Oahu. Beautiful beaches though. Didn’t spend much time with jungles and snakes.

Guam is surprisingly fun, but don't forget the Palmyra Atoll. Just stay away from the Hazardous Unexploded Ordinance Area.

Had the day off so went on a little adventure in the fire-scarred forests of Brookdale & Boulder Creek, CA - a spontaneous house hunt. Mad photoshop skillz there realtor. Like those photos plus general aging and a tornado or two. Did have a nice omelet in Boulder, hung out with two donkeys, and tried on some glasses.

We believe talked about Kodak Coloramas awhile back, though it’s not coming up on search. Anyway, linking for these related articles. https://petapixel.com/neil-montanus/ https://www.montanusphotography.com/neil_montanus_bio/coloramas.htm

Just watched the first episode (of four) of Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey (Netflix), the happy-go-lucky tale of Warren Jeffs, his mother-/sister-/underage-wives, and the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. [spoiler] It all goes catastrophically wrong again.

Second episode builds nicely.

Congrats again you two. #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

On that note, decades ago when I had to do similar in the U.S. Navy I mouthed the "and domestic" part. Wasn't going to say it having gone to Kent State and well, American history since the 60s. I thought I knew who they were speaking of. Wrong again Ric.

Grahame do they still require you to sing all the songs from Hamilton?

For any of you getting the gold model may I suggest an accessory?

Congrats to you both. Did the oath or the movie make you more proud?
