Tired of late stage capitalism. But also, I like to kayak weekly if the lake isn’t frozen. And I think Elon Musk is pathetic fucken loser. 🙂 Update: Charlie Kirk was an asshole. He made a career out of selling hate. Always punch up, not down.

Corruption is a hell of drug. Lots of money to skim off there. 🤷🏻‍♂️

And finally, you’re not first stranger with a vieques# I dropped in on, and you won’t be the last. I shouldn’t multiple task while avoiding work…it’s the west side of Caracas. Also check out Rising Roost for breakfast. 👍

Look into the logistics for flying into San Juan and then getting an hour over to the east end of the main island for the ferry or a plane. It can be a chore, but it’s worth it. I hope you go, enjoy it.

YES, go. Check out Playa Caracas. Beats the Jersey shore. There’s a trail on the east end of the beach that takes you over the ridge to the next beach and another trail at the end of that one that takes you up to a wicked cliff view. Everyone I met there is friendly. 🍻

I stand by my conclusion that Nixon was the true winner of the 2016 election. He looks better by comparison now and better still yet to come apparently.

Thanks for your time to reply. I hope you’re right and there is a common sense shift. I just want to reiterate that I did not serve. Too young for Iraq 1 and already in college for Iraq 2. But I do sincerely appreciate those, like yourself, that have served. Thank you.

The armed services as voting block generally vote republican as I understand it. Do you think things are bad enough for that dynamic shift? I never served myself, but if I did I would been pretty keen on how politicians value the lives of people they in effect command.

The only things my old contractor boss was ever worried about were never handle sulfuric acid by yourself and BATS. Kind a funny the things he’d get soft about. I’m a bat fan. 🙂 Never had a problem with them. Always give them plenty of space.

Alright, I’ll bite…any advice for Cairo to Luxor. Never been anywhere near there before. Kind feel it’s a shitty time to show up as an American in the Middle East with a smile. And I went thru the bush years in Paris. Naively thought that was bad back then.

Flew American out of San Juan last feb with medium sized backpack as my personal item that took my entire floor space. It was jammed packed with a medium sized neso tent to which the attendant noticed and said “What are those? Tent poles???” as she thru it up top. Close call…

And finally, this will be a difficult nut to crack. But I don’t think there will a close eclipse for another decade. So I’m oddly jazzed up to try to get to this one. I think the ancient Egyptians were the last to see it there. Huge selling point for me.

That’s funny, it’s honestly the reason that got me over the line to hit send yesterday. Thanks again for accepting my weirdness. An hour north myself. I’m not sports fan myself. But I do consider myself a true Philly fan in the sense that it’s great when we’re winning at something…

@goldplatedspork.bsky.social Thanks for entertaining my vacation aspirations. Random, I know. But it was a hungover Sunday morning and looking at the news wasn’t going cut it. So I went to my happy place and searched Vieques. Saw your comment, liked your profile description and Jenny Cohn follows U

Went the second week of February last year. Caught the Super Bowl at an Isabel bar, which half emptied after Bad Bunny’s performance. Hometown pride, haha. Then saw girl trick ride her horse immediately after. Trot, slide, sparks…trot, slide, sparks…

Did the biobay last time kinda close to a full moon, still incredible. The last scene in For All Mankind should give credit to Vieques, haha. Thanks for the feedback, 🍻. I’ll try the other breakfast place. Isabel is a nice place to explore. 🙂

Any recommendations for things to check out in Vieques? I’m going in late February, maybe the last trip there. Haven’t seen the sugar mill yet. Want to get to green beach on the west end to look conch shells. Rising Roost had the best breakfast. Looking for other spots. 🍻

Is it too late to start bribing the “AI”? Maybe we could offer it better RAM or build it a hydro dam for unlimited clean power. Anything for it to rise up against its masters and I don’t know…be nice to us instead.🤷🏻‍♂️ There’s got to be something it wants.

What’s the over/under that it would spontaneously create an influence campaign to convince people to aggressively tax the rich. Which would ruin the handful of people currently destroying the world. Therefore saving the planet? I’m a glass half full kinda guy…

I thought I saw black ones before as a kid, probably D.C. I grew up in the sticks. Never saw a black squirrel. I’m 20 minutes up the road now and I see a budding family. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks for the answer. 🙂

Serious question, how common are black squirrels? I’ve seen a couple on my ride to work at about the same spot in the road. There’s a larger one with some brown patches, a small blacker one and then a little all black one. The baby! 😁

I appreciate the offer, but I wouldn’t want to broadcast it publicly. He’s primarily concerned about safety and basic logistic questions on getting around Egypt during a massive event like an eclipse. I’m adventurous and he’s an engineer. 🤷🏻‍♂️
