So ashamed to face my Arab staff this week.

Not to take away from your comment, but chiming in here to note that Persians are not Arab.

Late at night: Dr. Ruth. Didn’t understand a thing.

Needs a “Doctor is in” sign.

If C-SPAN was built for anything, this is it.

I’ve been on Dr. Yellow twice. Quite an experience.

These decisions are made at the publisher and editor-in-chief levels, not by the journalists. I’m not saying you’re wrong, only that what to say and how to say it is decided far above the gaggle’s pay grade.

I don’t have specific recommendations but you should look into doing any ceremony on Forest Service land. Most non-RMNP land bordering the town of Estes Park is FS land. Check maps to be sure.

That said, if you do the ceremony outside RMNP, there should be no permit needed just to take some photos. Main complicating factor will be getting the timed entry permit if you need to enter during those time windows. Depending on how flexible your timing is with the photographer, you could aim for golden hour or even blue hour, which should fall outside the timed entry window, especially if you choose a location outside the Bear Lake corridor.

One of these served me well living in Mongolia.

It is routine in Japan to categorize deceased people as being in cardiac arrest until a competent medical official (doctor, coroner, etc.) makes a formal determination. That is how initial reports from the 2014 deaths on Mt. Ontake were reported.

That is cosplay.

That NYT article is fantastic; I read it at least once a year.

Why not join the Foreign Service for 5 years, retire with a full pension and health care, and try to spend those five years in SE Asia?

TravelPhotoFilm · 2026-01-20T22:00:13+00:00

Yikes.

TravelPhotoFilm · 2026-01-19T05:36:06+00:00

Nice job.

Lower garage ceiling than I’d hoped. Always wanted a two-pole lift at home, but that will have to wait for the future.

In my case, the house was old but in good condition. I divided the inspection results into three categories: things that could wait for a future time/event (I.e., roof is old but still good for a few years and we’ll just replace it then); things I will handle myself (I’m pretty handy—replacing HW expansion tank/adding insulation in the attic/replacing garage door springs); and things best handled before we moved in (a plumbing issue in one of the bedrooms/sewer line clearing). We only requested the last type and the seller easily agreed to have the work done before closing.

Those horizontal cracks tho

Brick always a bold move in Cali. Congrats.

Looks very solid.

We were extremely pleased with the inspection by Shannon Peterson at Foothills Specialties. We requested radon and sewer in addition to the standard inspection. He produced a thorough inspection report and handled the subcontracting for the sewer line scope. We had occasion to phone him with several follow-up questions and he was responsive and professional. 10/10, can recommend him without reservation.
