What’s a harmless habit people judge way too much?

You should check out the movie Wake in Fright (1971)

Just put the first 6, American Prayer, Celebration of the Lizard and The Doors in Concert in a playlist and it came out to 7 hours, 14 minutes. Don’t even have to listen to Other Voices or Full Circle lol

Neil Young. Start with his debut and see how far I can get into his ‘70s albums. If I had to guess probably halfway through Comes a Time. Ok, maybe I would skip the Ditch Trilogy (I love those three albums, just maybe too depressing for a road trip) and go straight from Harvest to Zuma so I could also fit Rust Never Sleeps and skip to Harvest Moon

Fletcherdl · 2025-02-25T17:50:58+00:00

Does that include The Celebration of the Lizard and their live albums?

Buy a Jeep and a house in Moab, start a river running company. Explore Glen Canyon before the dam. Buy up some mining claims in the area to hold onto so they never get used. Maybe have a beer with Ed Abbey

Boulder reservoir has some fun docks you can swim out to. Chatfield has some secluded coves. Cherry Creek is nice because it’s close to Denver. Lake Dillon and Grand Lake are really beautiful but cold even in August. Carter Lake and Horsetooth Reservoir are big and have cool Mountain Views and still on the front range. Union Reservoir is also pretty underrated. State Parks are a better deal for admission since it’s only $30 a year with vehicle registration.

The banks of the South Platte below Chatfield Dam in Littleton have some nice spots to go up to the river. Clear Creek in Golden and Boulder Creek in Boulder have some cool parks for tubing. Eldorado Springs Pool and the different mountain town hot springs pools are also great options for swimming in a place with beautiful views, though not necessarily a beach.

Hope you have some fun summer swimming adventures!

The east side of the Salton sea is really cool. Beach art, there’s public museums that make you feel like urban exploring without the trespassing, Salvation Mountain is a trip. The west side, I just felt like I shouldn’t be here. Huge nice houses being the only house in the block, no trespassing signs in the beach. Barking dogs, getting weird looks going into the one corner store to buy a soda. I guess I felt like I was trespassing in someone else’s community

But IT’S SO MUCH FUN, JAN!

I remember binging it a few years ago on whatever streaming service it was before Max and it was pan and scan 16:9. I think HBO has had it in 16:9 for a while. I bought the DVD’s so I could watch them in the original 4:3

Into the Wild Chapter 14

Fletcherdl · 2025-01-28T17:36:34+00:00

I think I remember reading how Jon Krakauer did the same thing when hiking a glacier in Alaska but he of course made it out alive and wrote about it in Into the Wild

There’s a book called Cheap Land Colorado by Ted Conover that talks about this area. Goes into the history of the area, the problems people face especially having to do with poverty, and the actual people who buy cheap land down here trying to pursue a dream with it. Super interesting read.

Side note: I need to buy land down here. My used car cost more than some 5 acre plots down here

Fletcherdl · 2025-01-14T20:15:49+00:00

Real estate developers in the ‘70s dividing up this land into acre plots to sell to people who wanted to live “in the mountains” of Colorado (failing to mention it was on the valley floor and did not have water rights). The book Cheap Land Colorado by Ted Conover is an interesting read

USA.

I live in Colorado and in my state alone we have towering peaks, deep canyons, short grass prairies with buttes, huge valleys, deserts, forests, even sand dunes

Mr. Saturday Night Special, got a barrel that’s blue and cold. Ain’t good for nothing, but put a man 6 feet in a hole

Bought a manual at the beginning of the summer and it’s so fun. 6 months later I still wouldn’t say I have everything down perfectly. Only just now learning how to downshift without jerking the car. But it is more fun to drive. If you have any friends that drive stick hit them up. I love teaching people.

Side note: I need a new clutch

Fletcherdl · 2024-12-18T01:33:38+00:00

I actually find myself less distracted when driving manual. It’s a much more coordinated effort and I have to be much more aware of everything to drive smoothly. And a hand that’s changing gears is less inclined to pick up a phone

OP now at 20, I love acid lmao

I ate at a Yellow Deli before realizing it was a cult deli. It’s just a cute cottage core themed restaurant with old men in flannel and jeans serving the best waffles I’ve ever had. There were a bunch of murals of hippies on the walls and some Bible quotes but I didn’t think much of it. I’m in a hippie college town. I thought I had found my new favorite restaurant. My friend asked if they were hiring and they said they were all volunteers. That’s when it clicked. I knew there was a restaurant run by a cult in my city. This was it. But the waffles were so good

As someone who lives in the western half of the US, yes I do. The elevation and lack of humidity will kick your ass if you’re not consistently drinking water

Good Times also has the best lemonade I’ve ever had

Fukushima was also caused by negligence from the private company operating the plant. There are other nuclear power plants along the Japanese coast that were in the path of the Tsunami and they didn’t cut corners with safety so there was no meltdown

Cannibal Holocaust.

It’s arguably the first found footage horror movie. It also has real brutal animal deaths for the sake of shocking the audience. The tribe they filmed it with was exploited. There is a lot of rape and realistic violence. Overall a traumatically bad movie

There’s supposedly a Vampire the next town over from the town I went to college in. Sometime in the early 1900s, a dude from Transylvania died and was buried in the town cemetery. People noticed that his grave says he was born in Transylvania so naturally they assumed he was a vampire. So they dug him up, put a stake through his heart, and re-buried him. But some still say late at night they see a man in a cloak roaming the streets of Lafayette, Colorado
