What’s that? Is it margaritas on the beach time? Well, if I must.

And places of peaceful reflection everywhere. The US definitely needs to adopt the practice of having places where you’re expected to be pretty quiet

I wish I had known about the train station stamps when I got here. I would have done a more focused collection of them. But I got a few of the big ones. If you’re taking the train on a visit, be sure to ask for them. If you’re the “OOH STAMPS!” type like I am ^_^

I live for jokes like this. Miss you, Mr. Pratchett.

A page from the book The Last Continent, by Terry Pratchett. There’s a red rectangle drawn around a segment of the text. The highlighted section reads:

“Ah, I see what you mean,” said Ridcully. “You’re thinking: what kind of bird stops flyin’ around for a quick smoke?”

“A puffin,” said the Bursar.

“Glad to see you’re still with us, Bursar,” said Ridcully, without looking round.

This was fun to discover: changing the units on the hotel room thermostat from Celsius to Fahrenheit changes the readout language from Japanese to English.

A side-by-side pair of pictures. On the left, a thermostat set to 20C with the display readout in Japanese kanji. On the right, the display shows 68F with the readout language in English
