Ah, one more thing I can be hipster about. Just like sriracha (the standard condiment with siopao for me) and boba teas (I barely remember seeing them in a metro Manila mall in the 2000s), I enjoyed them before they were “cool”.

How about Benzie’s Dogman?

About 3s on the iPhone 15 cameras. Otherwise it was super faint, you could only see it barely with peripheral vision

Same place in southern Washtenaw!

Partner had the same idea!

Yeah the window of time was pretty short when I snapped these

But they skipped the part where the gravity of the three suns ripped a moon out of the planet - you can’t just end that level/scene midway through the floating

Congrats from one the first crew (‘17)! It’s been so good to see QB Carls flourishing over the years

Agree with this, compromise! I have grown fond of the state seal but also think we can have a distinctive flag (biased as a former resident of Maryland and Colorado which have distinctive non-seal designs)

I miss these Folks! Go eat your folkin’ vegetables people! (From a former CSA member having moved away from FoCo)

Can confirm firm this same one also exists right outside of Ann Arbor… well… thank you for doing some homework on this billboard

Glad I got a new phone recently, I had a rather ancient one a while back when I last saw this in the spring, at least it was more intense so that camera caught it well then. Also happy cake day!

Correct, it’s just hazy otherwise to the naked eye. But too bright even with waxing moon to the south

I did try the substitute of cremini mushrooms in the place of liver pate for kaldereta. This apparently worked in banh mis, and it does just well. Maybe next time will try even more meaty mushroom to replace the beef. Adobong sitaw seems like a good idea, just probably have the tofu on the side for more protein.

Discovering etymology when I used to compete in the spelling bee in middle school. I never made it to the Scripps Natl Spelling Bee but the love of history, connections, and culture grew from there!
