Our dog had surgery recently. Despite having pooped in the meantime, I just took her out and my god I've never seen so much poop come out of her before! I texted my wife to tell her and she asked if it was relatively solid. "Stackable" was the only word that came to mind. 😆

The weather was so good, it almost felt like we cheated. One day of rain (drizzle) and I only got a noticeable amount of water from bogs in one of my boots, once. 😃

Just completed Wainwright’s Coast-to-Coast walk across England with my 78yo father. Would’ve been easier if he didn’t twist his knee on day one! 😂

Edmonton is Canada’s largest city by area the last time I checked, and that was just a few years ago.

The worst french fries I’ve ever had in France are better than the best chips I’ve had in England. The fish has been good, but the chips are mediocre at best. How can this be?!

I was in Denmark when the Danes beat the Germans to win Euro ‘92. And now I can say I was in England when the Labour Party ended a 16 year Conservative run, by a landslide. 😁

Rick McCallum was definitely a Yes Man. I put just as much blame on him for the prequels. But let’s look on the bright side, without the prequels, we wouldn’t have had the Red Letter Media reviews! 😉

Taken earlier today near Glaisdale, UK. I’m told in 2-3 weeks the entire countryside will be purple with heather.

I came across this sign in Richmond on the Coast to Coast walk across England. Do I take the photo thinking about my friend and family wanting to see it on Facebook?

No, I thought @scalzi.com might like it. 😆

Like George Carlin said, think about how stupid the average person is. Half the population is stupider than that.

As I walk across England from the Irish Sea to the North Sea, it’s good to see that my GPS isn’t the only thing confirming I’m taking the right route.

An old lady on the train out of Manchester helped a mother of three out by offering to hold the mother’s sleeping 4yo while she took another child to the toilet. So it’s not just generosity with the fish. 😉

Despite being in England for almost a week, I didn’t have fish & chips until tonight. They seemed to want to make up for it by giving me half a fish!

Lots of Osprey recommendations. I’ll throw in my support. (Currently on the Coast-to-Coast walk with one and “everybody” else seems to have them, too.)

Come to England’s Lake District where you, too, can ask the question during the summer: Okay, but what’s the temperature with the wind chill factor?

Property values also skyrocketed within an 800m radius of the stations. Over just the past few years, several stations, regardless of the line, have huge residential towers going up near them.

Part of the success of the SkyTrain was them building it along the rail line -- that's now mostly removed -- that ran through the middle of the city. Building it didn't really disrupt things. Not like what the Canada Line did through the Cambie corridor or what the new line along Broadway is doing.

Was this the best intramural soccer team that ever played on the field at EA Vancouver’s studio? Definitely not. Was it the best team name and logo? Yes, without a doubt. (Went to a former co-workers party and he said he had something for me. 20ish years later, and the shirt’s in great shape.)

Co-worker says he's putting on a jumper. (We've had HVAC issues in the office.) In my head, "That's a sweater. Why do they call it a jumper? He's not jumping. But jumping would be better than sweating. Maybe we should just all call them pullovers... but who's going to be pulloving?"

I'll refrain from recommending anything already mentioned in the replies. Anything by Jack McDevitt. (Anything!) My favourite novel, ever, is Armor by John Steakley. (Steakley was inspired to write it because he liked Starship Troopers, but felt Heinlein couldn't write action very well.)

Right, but at what point would Lincoln have used dozens? Would he have ever said “four dozen years ago”? Or would it have been “two score and eight years ago
” Or if it was 84 years, would he have just said, “seven dozen years ago”? Who even knows!? đŸ€Ł

At what point does one flip from using dozens to scores? History shows it might be before 7 dozen is reached.

I wrote a Sasquatch screenplay and then one weekend I decided to watch every Sasquatch movie I could stream. I think it was 8 in all. Gotta say, I agree with your assessment. MONSTROUS (2020) was the best of the bunch but that’s really not saying much.

@scottwampler.bsky.social was an absolute legend. My favourite Twitter follow until he inexplicably blocked me, so I abandoned that app. So happy when he started posting here.

RIP, Scott. Condolences to all of his friend, family, fiends, and followers.

Reminds me of my experience traveling around Europe in my youth: A single German tourist is the quietest person in the room. Add at least two more Germans and even Americans wonder why those people are so loud! 😆
